Go back to full court pressure.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

It's SOOOOO obvious why Tatum usually is glued to the bench.

Props to France for hitting a couple 3's and getting the lead back... but does anyone think Wemby really passes out of obvious size advantages down-low?

He’s got more rebounds than anyone else and actually plays defense.

How about the offense shows up?

It's embarrassing when these games are close, tbh.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Amazing how France are leading despite the disastrous second half of the first quarter and their guards looking so underwhelming most of the time.
