Wow. Even though he acts so mature, we got to remember he's still just a 22 year old kid, learning how to be an NBA professional and WHILE now dealing with a very serious family issue. That pretty much coincides when he started his mini-slump.
Reading a bit more, looks like his dad was supposed to go with them on the Florida road games, but obviously had to be with Keegan's Grandma.

we closed it 8-0.
I think we closed Cleveland out in similar fashion.
I really don't like the trading of baskets, but I think it might be a function of the pace Brown wants to run at and possibly lulling teams into a false sense they can get an easy bucket before the final 2 minutes.
But yeah, stopping them long enough to be up 20 with 4 minutes to go would extend my life a few years I think.

Starting your first head-coaching job in 8 years 0-4 will do that to you! I agreed with the idea of starting KZ at the time, but it wasn't working for reasons that had more to do with overall roster balance. KZ can earn faith back though if he hits his spot-up shots in practice. The only thing holding him back from being a regular contributor is his ability to be an effective catch and shoot threat on the corner threes.
I think it's our interior defense. We play very small and allow teams to get inside.. which also opens up the outside because we're constantly trying to help down low.
We desperately need an interior anchor who can play 15minutes a night? Maybe steal some of Lyles' minutes because it feels like when he's not scoring, he's not offering much elsewhere.

Yeah, the rim protection is a real problem. Or at least a physical low-post wing (in the vein of a PJ Tucker, Crowder) that can be an enforcer and not just make it a free ride to the rim as it is now. They go through stretches of absolutely elite defense, but it's almost all on the perimeter (Fox, Davion, Monk, Huerter have all had streches where they lock down) and a bit of Keegan here or there.
I wanted to give Metu a ton of praise tonight and he was really good for like 13 of his 16 minutes, but man he just let the Wenyen Gabriel torch him for like 3 straight possessions in the post before we went back to Sabonis. He's been a nice find with Holmes struggling, but I'm not sure he's the long-term answer at back-up 5 either. Len just doesn't have the footspeed to play anymore. Maybe time to give Queta a look? Give Moneke a look? Get KZ back in there?

I just have too many memories of Boogie staying to yell at the refs while the rest of the team sprinted back on offense, the toxicity he brought with him, and all the rest.
It would be interesting to see how well he could play on a good team, how the years have matured him, what his temperament is like, and if he could hand the pace at his current age
