My brothers, sisters, deers and doe.
WE ARE THE SECOND SEED IN THE CONFERENCE.
We have played sub par, we have been dumb and we have been sloppy.
We beat the number one seed, and are matched with the celtics.
How many of us were cursing the name of AG. How many overreacted. How many gave up and made claims 5 games into the season.
Its a long season, and these standing might change. But if this is our team at its worst, i dont dare dream about what we could be at our best.
Lets simmer down a bit, take it in. And lets snatch the number one spot and never let it go. Go bucks.
They are talented enough to beat inferior teams playing sloppy. Now things are starting to click.
We played pretty much only playoff teams, and if we were in a close game, we won it.
There are definitely some growing pains, but AG is trying a ton of things, especially on defense, and the pair defense has solidified with BroLo in his natural habitat.
The trapping/switch still has breakdowns, but nowhere near what we had at the first few games.
Not only that, we have deployed:
- Drop
- Switching
- Aggressive trapping/hedging
- Zone (usually 2-2-1, 2-1-2, and 3-2)
Love these hindsight posts
What ru talking about? The over reaction has been our awful defense. Every team has score over 90 points by the end of the 3rd. That’s insane. No logical person thinks we suck 🤣 it’s just very concerning
They’re learning multiple new defensive schemes that they never played before under Bud and have to work in a few new players to the team chemistry. Of course the defense is going to struggle at times. They’re slowly improving.
Saying we are doomed was an overreaction
I don’t think being worried about the defense is an overreaction though, I mean Dame and Beasley is not ideal defensively.
I’m not sure why griffin won’t start Marjon and atleast try it.
I’m not sure what kind of contract he’s on but I wouldn’t mind trying to get Thybulle from Portland. He’s a great defensive player, could kind of play the PJ Tucker role for us
