Hes been getting the hoop and finishing but there definitely has not been any open lanes yet. I'm not trying to be an alarmist 8 games in, but so far that Gobert trade has not made the team better. He is definitely a difference maker in the paint on defense but good teams will make him irrelevant by

Yeah they did give up a ton of open 3s yesterday.

It does feel like this team has the length to just stay disciplined and guard your man straight up.


When they have Achiuwa,Siakam,Boucher,Barnes on the floor they do...that being said would you rather give up contested 2 or an open 3....Nurse strategy is too much non sensical early clock blitzing in short doses it will work cuz it causes chaos,its not a good scheme to be running as your defensive identity...

@42 Monks status update on LaMelo?
we not rushing him back so everything is cool. im still pissed every time i see him holding his wrist after they let him play through that injury early in his rookie year.

team gotta learn how to play without being completely dependent on him anyways
