Yeah, don't see the 3 small guards with 2 offensive bigs without great length lineup ever doing anything but looking bad on D.

Rudy can pair with a couple small guards, but if he's out they should stay decently big at the 2/3 with Ant/Jaden/??? whichever wing emerges.

Obviously game 1, and it's fine to try out lineups.

Had a feeling it’d be an ugly game. Remember, the starters have to get used to playing with each other. Gotta work through it.

Such a sloppy pass from Conley...not something you'd expect from someone like Conley. The team is basically killing itself with all these stupid turnovers

Finch did not get them ready for this one. Same story as game 1 of last year.

Naz Reid **** sucks defensively, he needs to ride the pine.

There’s a reason why I’ve always been super negative about his play, he’s actually a bottom five defensive player in the NBA.

They were 42-26 with him, 5-9 without him. But sure.
