    he starts for his defense, not his offense

    just sayin. IQ subs him out for the offense, grimes’ primary objective is to prevent 2s from exploding in the first quarter

      feels like this is always start off slow offensively. this works against inferior opponents but against star shooting guards and wings, grimes can only do so much and before you know it we’re down 10 points the whole game until we just decide to keep iq in

        yeah i mean, it isn’t completely working but it’s what the plan is. IQ is playing better right now—he’s also getting more favorable matchups half the time

        but the reality is we’re winning most games and we have one of the best defenses in the league. so we can nit-pick QG’s individual performances all we want, but he’s one piece of the puzzle
