1:39 is the where the analysis of Tre begins on the video ^ peeps, Dawkins/Keefe are setting-up the team to fail.

To be fair that is what they should be doing. It's early but this draft looks really strong. Keeping our pick is priority #1.

If Tre has a frustrating rookie year he'll get over it.

The Joker’s dominance was mentioned in the NBA games thread, perfect segue to plug “Baby Jokic”, DQ, the kid that will turn the low-post into a scary scene as a man. Proud DQ Cult member.

With the skinny Sarr surrounded only by wings and guards that is our rotation, not a lot of strong screens being set. Even Jordan Poole mentioned how we never set good screens as one of his parting shots at the team.

Agree that we need to do this, if for not other reason than that our shooters as well as our screeners need to work on this aspect of the game.
