Ah yeah it’s the coaches fault these guys are playing zero defence, throwing passes into traffic and giving up multiple offensive rebounds.

Tatum doesn't get to have Jaylen guarding him.


Good thing considering opponents shoot about 40% against Brown. Tops in the NBA.

Jrue is good as a secondary play maker, not an initiater. It's pretty obvious to everyone except to you know who.

Opponent shooting % is the most worthless defensive metric though.

I'd rather watch our end of bench guys be in there trying hard than see the starters half assing their way through this. This should be a Brissett and Stevens game.

The lineup to close the gap is the weirdest lineup ever.
