Yeah, more of the blame is on the construction, but again, if Monte thinks this team is a contender he's not in almost every trade available from summer to the deadline lol. Can't run this back again though. Nope. This is the first big obstacle now, you either move it, go around it, or jump over. Running straight through it on the same path didn't work.

As disappointing as this is, still love the team, still think Fox, Domas and Murray are foundational pieces you can build around, looking forward to seeing some more growth from Keon and hopefully we can get Monk resigned and find some more length at the 4. Rooting for OKC, Denver, Phoenix and Dallas round 1. East don’t really care. TDOS here we go…sigh
The thing is that they really haven’t though. The matchups early in the season were plain terrible because defensively we couldn’t stop a single thing. Over the last couple of matchups, we’ve been okay defensively when CJ isn’t randomly playing like Game 7 Steph while it’s been our lack of a solid iso player beyond Fox cratering our offense that’s been an issue (coincidentally, Monk has missed the last two matchups)
This is where I disagree. They are more than capable. It’s just not a point of emphasis. Brown has consistently said he wants the spray 3s. He is the one reinforcing the plan, not the players. Or am I completely hearing a different message from his direct quotes about not shooting enough 3s in a game where over half of our shots were 3s and we shoot less than 30%?
lol keep believing that if you want. We beat them this year also. They will have issues with Valenchunas. He is too big for Chet and he just backs him down with ease. The NBA also has a new playoff format where teams seem to play every 2-3 days now and it’s a possibility that Zion can be back if it goes 5/6 games. That’ll be over 2 weeks.
I mean, it's not totally out of the realm of possibility that Keegan can become this teams KD or Tatum, but usually players don't develop elite handling and the ability to generate fouls out of the triple threat at 24 years old. However, Keegan in the post? Pretty sure he did that in college. That's my only gripe with Brown. Post play and the lack thereof when mismatches call for it. If it fails it fails, but to not even really try? No, not good enough.
Yes and frankly Atlanta may want to give us an asset to take it too. They’re far worse off than we are. But also we might want a player there. The draft is not exciting up top is why it’s viewed as a bad one. Could still be our best opportunity to add a lower lotto level talent for the next five years.
