We’re finally stopping guys from getting downhill towards the rim, we’re just getting lost on some switches and overhelping in the process. Better plan but execution isn’t all the way there yet. We’re playing aggressive and we get turnovers when it works. We give up open shots when it doesn’t.

Trae’s had trouble turning the corner on his drives against two solid frontcourts, and he’s missed shots he should make too. This isn’t the spacing issue he had to start last year. We have a healthy Bogi and Bey around him and DJ/Dre are firing away too, instead of just standing 15 ft from the basket.

The people whining “same old hawks” must watch games on such a primitive level. We have a different, better plan on both ends of the floor. Execution just needs to catch up and you need real game reps for that. Too early for the panic.
