Unimpressed..

We were up 26 midway thru the 3rd

It's an issue that will bite them against better teams in the league...

We need another creator on the second unit.

I feel the issue is defense.....we had 125 points,our assists have been fine.

My issue is defense as crazy as it sounds cuz that shouldnt be the issue with this team...too easy going in the paint and we dont close out at all on 3s...

They play defence when they want. And that is MY biggest issue with this team. There is too much “when they want” happening.

Fred Fred Fred....
Ppl gonna see his points and think he had a decent game but he turned it over three times in the 4th Q and contributed to a bunch of bad possessions by overdribbling. He needs to play as off guard when he’s on the floor with another PG.

They let him play thru it cuz its Miami and we werent in danger of losing the game....but he was terrible again.

That oop to OG had me ready to throw the remote,he is anything but steady freddy....Hes the new Norm,trying to drive and get a shot up when he doesnt have space....

Worst part is he’s driving into the defence when he doesn’t have the height, athleticism or layup package to be successful at that consistently. It’s almost like he forgets that he was successful last year with the pnr or at the end of the shot clock after the ball went inside and was kicked out and swung around the arc.

I feel like he's just not hungry this year. His decisions with the ball have been mind blowing at times.
Those moves by Siakim, good Lord. That MIP is his to lose. :damn:
He's been nothing short of amazing. I wonder if OG can make similar improvements ?
