Hate to bring up old shyt but this was the Atlanta blueprint on how to stop us last year. Essentially it was don’t let Randle beat you and make him see ghost, plus RJ is only left handed. Those Atl nikkas scouted the shyt out of us

Nah it’s ok, the team took care of some of these issues. They moved on from that back court because those issues you couldn’t fix. RJ hopefully improves, and better guard play (and hopefully coaching) means Randle won’t be the only point on the floor. Last but not least Noel hopefully will be backing up Mitch next playoffs.

It’s really telling they only mentioned starters too since that meant they expected Thibs to ride those 5 heavy

The good thing is that we have competent staff that also noticed these deficiencies and made adjustments.

Most of this has been addressed just up to RJ and Jules to evolve :yeshrug:

Rose being forced to start cause of bumbass Payton hurt our second unit. Hopefully Kemba can hold up because we have a legitimately deep team in the league again. That's also why Kemba is starting Thibs wants that Rose, IQ, Burks and Obi tandem together. Noel or Simms can hold down the 5.

Agreed. Thibs definitely relies on a 3 guard second unit and if Obi shows up even better.

Knox and Grimes could become situational 3 Pt shooting as well. Which could also work when teams play zone. I hope some sort of wrinkle is added for them as well.

Grimes is better than Knox he's going to take all his minutes

Our point guard position is solid. We also got a gem with Duece.
