I know it’s still very early, but I wanted to see what your guys’ thoughts are on the season so far?

What’s working well and should continuing doing? What do we need to work on? Is there anyone we should look to trade/trade for? Any particular rotations we need to see more/less off?

Just want an overall gauge on our first 16 games, on the outside it looks like we’re in for another mid year but maybe some of youse have seen some particular bright spots others haven’t.

    We’re 13th in net rating even though we clearly don’t have a full grasp of the offensive and defensive systems. There have been noticeable miscommunication issues.

    Which isn’t surprising. Quin runs a notoriously hard offensive system to master. To back this up, Quin’s Utah teams always had slow starts even when they ended up a top seed.

    2021/2022 - 4-4 start before finishing 49-33

    2019/2020 - 12-10 start before finishing 44-28

    2018/2019 - 9-12 start before finishing 50-32

    2017/2018 - 19-28 start before finishing 48-34

    We’re playing better defense overall I believe but our defensive system doesn’t match our personnel. I think we’re a move or two away from being really good but once we get Jalen back and are more comfortable in Quin’s system I expect us to go on a streak and be a handful of games over .500 by the trade deadline.

    We also haven’t had easy matchups and the schedule doesnt easier until the end up December

    i’d rather hold out until that young man in milwaukee becomes available. my friend told me they are off to a rough start and wanting to shake things up.

    i haven’t seen him play since he hurt his knee in atlanta, but again my friend told me he’s all better and even won a championship since then.

    Being .500 last year felt inevitable. Being .500 this year so far feels like the floor. Much more interesting things happening on court that aren’t necessarily earning as many wins as I’d like, but at least there’s a blueprint being presented vs Nate’s old school mismatch based strategies.

    I feel like there’s what 65-66 games left, we’ll figure it out…I believe to the tune of 47-35
