our defense is horrible. cant stress that enough. we a first round exit unless we make some moves.

if we depending on hittin three pointers at a 60 percent rate every game, good fukkin luck

 

[Ricky Dunigan]

Little concerned about the defense right now I can’t front.

 

[TOAD99]

We gave up too much defense in exchange for a slightly better offense

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Unacceptable for Turner to shoot like this. He only hit 11 all season prior to this game

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

5-24 (Kemba & Fournier went 1-10) from three smh.

The top and above the break is his sweet spot and it’s been there for him

thibs was so slow to the most obvious adjustment.
putting julius on myles should have been done 5 minutes into the game
sabonis isnt operating 23 feet away from the rim all game like myles
having mitch in no mans land 15 feet away from the rim serves literally no purpose. he cant contest at the rim or be close enough to contest on a 3 pointer.

bench quickly

he was literally wide open on pretty much all of em. at that point its just a practice session

 

[Rottweiler]

I missed the game but just saw the final score. How bad was it?

i thought it would be the opposite but kembas lack of defense is actually hurtin ,more then his offense is helpin @, the moment

The only thing I. Can see happening is it’s time Mcbride and Grimes get minutes. Even if in spurts. Ideally the fix is home grown and they won’t have to make trade. It’s still too early to really get into the specifics of a trade. This is a small slump of two games.

McBride is a bit taller than Kemba and known for defense it won't hurt to give him some minutes with the second unit. Grimes as well they both are capable of offense and defense. It's early and we need energy

Missed the game but saw the score

This team needs wing defenders badly
