I know the zone helps hide our defensive weak links like Duncan and Kendrick but I think Spo needs to recognize when to go away from it at times.

Like when their (Duncan and Kendrick) matchups aren't that tough, ditch the zone. I'm sure there are some nights where Soo can find an opponent's offensive weakling/liability to have them shadow. In those occasions we can go man to man to put more pressure on other teams. I'm sure Jimmy, Bam, DJJ, and Crowder can handle their man on defense

We got a deep rotation once those two come back and god willing no other injuries occur. We just gotta buy time right now.

Yep. Looking at bam by himself at the 5, you can see the front court looks thin and that Bam needs help. Myers with his strength, size, and athleticism makes a huge diffirence for us, defensively. His rim protection allows Bam to flourish defensively and play in his space. And on the offensive end, he gives us space since he can shoot the outside shot. He plays well off of Bam.

It’s the little things like what u just described that separates us from the rest of the East. Outside of the Bucks if we’re completely healthy. We’re deep enough to make a run.
