This group is ass. Smart and Brown can't come back soon enough. And is Langford just out for the season or some ****? Will we ever see him play basketball again? Dude has the worst **** injury luck.

As much as I enjoy Timelord blocking perimeter shots, he often takes himself out of rebound position trying to get to ones he has absolutely no chance of getting.

Bring in Nesmith over trash ass Semi. Semi was actually at his best during his rookie year which isn’t saying much.

I know we lack talent, but what I'm really frustrated with is the way we play. We have VERY LITTLE ball movement; we rely so much on Tatum and our other playmakers to dribble around and make a play, instead of moving the ball around to keep defenses honest and involve our lesser players.

Just like that last possession to end the 1st: Kemba just dribbling at the top of the key, Time Lord sets a screen, then Kemba shoots a three. That's it. Just terrible iso offense over and over again.

This one's on Brad, we need to revamp our offensive scheme. Maybe it's the lack of a training camp, but we're not gonna go far this season if we keep up with this kind of iso offense. Tatum and Brown can't carry us every single game.

1st q thoughts...

Jayson Tatum is really good.
Sucks we had to start in a double figure hole due to Brad's "Kemba and 4 PFs lineup."
I feel like Grant did a solid job on Kawhi, but it did not matter.
We miss Jaylen and Smarty.

I don't know. But this is likely the worst he's ever going to look. He's either going to stay this bad, or get better.

Tatum ignored wide open Edwards twice and passed to Ojeleye instead who missed both shots. That was strange.

Edwards might just be better than Kemba. Definitely better than Teague and Waters
