Birch isn't the big we recently just invested a top 6 pick in.

Jaque Vaughn is going to out coach Clifford by going small with the second unit. Birch can't guard a perimeter player and isn't a good post up player.

Both teams shooting ridiculous numbers. (i.e. a defenceless game !)

Kelle to Isaac. They really do have amazing chemistry on the court.

Cliff neutralized our second unit by playing Birch over Clark.

We gave up 39 points in the 1st quarter to a g-league team. Yay! Go team!

As bad as we're playing and defending we're only down 3 pts

Form hasn't looked bad on these Fultz jumpers. He just doesn't have enough on them.

Horrible 1st quarter defensively but at least we are scoring. Need to get our defense both on the perimeter and in the paint in check. I do not like the lack of urgency we brought to start this game.

MCW, Fultz, and Birch on the floor at the same time. Spacing is going to be rough.

Will give birch credit playing very high energy more like last season
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

I have to say Birch is playing well. He is bringing the energy.
