Well, if they play like this, it's an early playoff exit and I can catch up on movies.

Gonna suck going on the road in round 2 because they couldn’t get their shit together against the Houston’s and Orlando’s of the world.

Grant being unplayable is a massive problem. This is a guy who is supposed to be giving us 20-25 mpg shooting lights out and defending a variety of guys instead he has basically Knoblauched himself out of the rotation. Left scrambling. Whatever happened to the buyout market? You telling me this team couldn’t use another player?

This is the opposite of 2022. 2021-23 It's a great team sandwich with dogshit for bread.

Yeah him completely torpedoing himself is a problem. His expected contribution off the bench is kind of needed.

25-39 from 2; 12-42 from 3

The team just doesn't really work shooting 12-42 from 3
The problem is that from POBOBS on down the message is there is no such thing as a bad shot. So even when the offense improved and had more ball movement and everything, the bedrock of the team is still that there is no bad shot, so at times of stagnation all we see is bad shots because there is no bad shot. They LOVE the “kind of open but mostly out of rhythm” shot.

At the rate they are going it is going to take a massive heater and legendary Tatum performance and probably a semi-healthy TL to get the team where it needs to be.

I started this post down 7 and it is still true down 2.

How is White, who might have the highest basketball IQ on the team, on the bench for all of this?
