    We're getting torched by Kennard and Smart all while Bron is on the bench

    Reed loves passing up a decent look to a wide open Amen, Tari, or Okogie so they can brick a three

    Sengun needs to punish their interior defense. They are better in the perimeter

    Why are we in drop coverage in any action involving Kennard? Ime is such a **** coach.

    Kennard is killing us and we dont even go back at him on the other end

    Sengun is a fraud star.

    Rox have to move their bodies on offense. Can’t be standing and watch your teammates struggle with a double-team

    Yeah but he’s streaky and can get hot. I wouldn’t necessarily do that.

    Can’t keep playing fairy defense on Kennard though.

    No one cares if Smart shoots a 3 its basically a turnover but hes making them. Its like if Alpy was 3/3 from 3.

    Luke Kennard and Marcus Smart are the next Splash brothers? Ime is supposed to be a good defensive coach?

    Exactly . For a read and react offense, they rarely react. They be frozen like Bambi

    If we could get Clingan and Scoot for him, I'd do it, even before the show Scoot put on tonight.

    Don't see Portland doing that though

    Creative coach with a plan. Willingness to get weird. Pieces that actually fit together and willing to buy in.
