Our defense sucks.

But not as bad as our offense!

Lol. Agreed. I’ve always thought the first 5-7 games of the season is usually players getting comfortable in their roles (after a roster shake up). I think that’s what we are seeing here. Those shots will eventually fall and we will look worlds better.

At this rate we'll have as many 4 pointers as threes.

The lineups look fine. They could use a little tweaking but it hasn’t been bad. Ferguson just looks like he doesn’t belong. Diallo needs to take his spot. Only big line up change I see that is needed.

I wonder what our defense would look like if we'd play sound basketball instead of trying to pressure everything.

This is ridiculous. Can we force them into taking bad shots for once?

if Russ is the problem everyone else ? Of course everyone does but we still have to give it some games to mesh . This board is so pessimistic sometimes.

The problem is we're on Pace to give up 140 points.

Three years ago Russ has a post game, it's progressively disappeared.
