Wish I would see more of a Timelord Theis lineup.

It's more about timing, positioning, and moving his feet for Theis. He usually gets to drivers who don't stop and pump fake him for fouls. Timelord has the leaping ability and length Theis doesn't. He can block/bother jump shots, post ups, and putback attempts better.

In all seriousness this is what I was worried about the most.
Like I said in another thread you have no idea how players come back from having COVID and the lasting issues they will have....
Sure the team is ass atm, but I'm more concerned with Tatum as with any player who gets COVID.

This may not be a popular opinion, but I can't be mad at any player this season. Myself, I've just had at least a full month of broken-sleep nights due to the pandemic, not because I fear for my health but because I fear for my family's, especially my dad. I have an office job, and work from home so no one notices when I'm a sleepless wreck, but imagine if I was an NBA player.

Tatum has been on a slump, Jaylen is no longer hitting his midrange shots at 70%+, and Kemba's had like 3 or 4 decent shooting games this season. Brad's team's calling card has always been defense. That hasn't been the case this season.
Even our bench group who's always taken pride at being able to defend ever since the days of Jerebko/KO/ET is now average at it at best while still being unable to score.
