PREVIEW

Time to put the past away and step back from that ledge my friend, and hopefully get our first win of the season. If not, I promise it’s not the end of the season, or even the end of the world

    Lot of doomer takes lately. Let’s look at it this way: remember when we traded an objectively better center for Steven Adams? Most people didn’t really like it at first, but it changed our playing style and ultimately made us a much more powerful team. I think Kleiman was quoted saying that the move was to “take the training wheels off” (referring to our ability to rely on JV to score). This is an opportunity for us to look at this as another “take off the training wheels” exercise and tune our game to the players we have, especially with some new faces around and a guy like Tillman, who seems to be down to rise to any occasion and pleasantly surprise us. As much as I LOVE Adams, we rely on him too damn much. Give this squad a little time to work out the kinks before we start talking about tanking or resetting.
