"Coach doesn't adapt" agenda looking weak despite starting Black, now TDS, benching Cole, etc!

Leads me to believe Cole is done done.

Black/Harris/Howard/Isaac/Moritz 2nd unit.

This makes a lot of sense, and is what I expected initially with Jett instead of TDS.

Definitely need more ball movement 100%, but also need posters to stop calling missed easy shots bad offense.. that's bad shot making and finishing lol

Might be better for black imo offensively if he's on the bench unit .... He might choose to be more aggressive now rather than defer to a vet

I'm not blaming Mose for the last game because obviously Paolo being out was unexpected but one thing that was clear as day was that guys were not getting the same open looks without Paolo's gravity out there. KCP looks useless on offense if teams are not going to double off of him while Paolo is out. Got to get more ball and player movement like you mentioned.

Mose has his work cut out for him over the next few months.

This is the lineup I hope they stick with until Paolo is back.

Black needs to play on the ball as much as possible and he just wouldn't be getting as many reps in that role as he should be getting if he's in the starting lineup next to Suggs and Franz.

He could get ROY hype during Paolo's absence.

It's a pretty wide open race

Luka has been awful to start the season, looks out of shape (played no preseason) so I expect him to go off against us

60 point triple double for him, Klay, or Kyrie.

Weird starting lineup

How? Looks fine. I knew it would change after the last game.

I think Kenny Pope's demise has been greatly exaggerated btw.

It's the right starting lineup considering the circumstances

100%. Ain't no way he just forgot to shoot. and his defense has been elite

This lineup looks smoooooth. TDS is off to a great start and an effortless fit.

I like the energy so far.
