Like the title says, is AG just a deer in the headlights and out of his depth or do we need an overhaul in terms of the team?

    They can’t do an overhaul unless they trade Giannis which ain’t happening. This is the team. Their trade assets are gone.

    Griff needs to figure out how to win with the players he has. It is now clear to everyone that AJax is the best perimeter defender they have. Griff is smartly bringing him along slowly but by the midpoint of this season he needs to be starting.

      Marjon has a better chance of starting than AJJ. He’s too raw still and has been prone to foul trouble. I don’t believe he can play defense in a playoff scenario at a high level his first NBA year.

      Thats a bold assumption Andre is able to adjust to NBA speed, aka playing without racking up fouls. Its great to see his energy and effort but its naive to think theres not plenty of players that haven’t grown out of that lack of control. I like him but some of this sub is getting way too high too quickly for their own sake imo.

    Giannis mentioned in his post game presser Brook needs to be doing what Brook does and he seemed a little shocked that Brook didn’t play in the last 20 min of the game.

    When the team looks like a chicken with its head cut off that’s on the coach. No one has any idea where they should be or what they should be doing. We went from a Top 5 defense with top rebounding to terrible in both. The players are not buying in, Brook especially.

    The solution is simple. Return to Buds defense and replace Beasley in the starting lineup by either starting Jae or starting Marjon. Then do whatever it takes to get Caruso here including sending out MB AJJ Pat picks. We have like 2 years to win a chip with this core 4.
