Franks is a happy Frenchman

Good guy.  Good to see.

[lesterluv]

So what's up with Julius?

Is he just confused but making an honest effort to do what Thibs tells him?
Is he on some kind of passive-agressive slow down strike?
Is he not sleeping enough at night because of the new kid?

Gee, I don't know.

You tell me.

Team hoisted 49 treys.  Hit 16.

Stagnant offense.  Teams daring us to beat them from outside.  Can't remember last time JR was in low post.  Feeding cutters.

Mostly, turnovers, turnovers, lack of boarding, our ancient curse of closing out on three pointers. 

Maybe we just miss Elfrid.

[bodiddley]

And Bullox ...

[kidcarter8]

Reg struggling a bit as well.  Just not as obvious behind the 9-5 record.  And yes.  I know he contributes defensively.

How is Andrew Wiggins doing?

[facilitatorn]

Deuce had his GLeague debut. He, Luca, and Sims showed out in a win vs. the LI Nyets. Six days and they do it again.

[facilitatorn]

Start Rose and Burks, sit Evan and Kemba. The former know their shit in our system and make our stars look better. The later give one burst, then either get gassed or figured out. Let them run with IQ, Obi, and Taj.

It may not have been the plan, but it is clearly a better way forward this season.

Just mention anybody no longer on the roster, and BoZ comes back with his beloved Reggie  😜

They just sucked ass.

I really think Barrett, as much as I like him, is the misfit.

Consider dealing him - yes.  But for now - second unit.  He may prosper.

[kidcarter8]

Walker, Fournier, Burks, Toppin, Randle

Lets go!

Second unit would be sweet.  Rose, Quicks, Barrett, X/X, Mitch.

(Fine with it being Randle, Mitch as first unit bigs)

[bodiddley]

Walker, Fournier, Burks, Toppin, Randle

The No D Crew!
And it doesn't even look coherent on O.

So who's the best defender in that lineup?
Fournier by default?
Guarantee Thibs will never use that unit.

[bodiddley]

Fournier officially in a funk.  Doesn't even play 4Q's anymore.  Opening night career high seems a long time ago.
Randle should dribble more.  He tends to get the ball and just pass off quickly without threatening the D. 
Rose plays with energy, but his focus seems wavering too lately.  Those were some weak turnovers v ORL.

It does seem that all our energy guys are bench guys:
Rose, Taj, Quix, ObiT, Burks
Probably why our 2nd unit has been so good.

Maybe it's as simple as getting Randle, RJB, Fournier to be a bit more active.  Also, tell Kemba he's out there 15-18 minutes so he should play fast.  And get the ball moving.
Randle, Kemba, Fournier, RJB -- maybe it's too many guys with iso tendencies.

It may not have been the plan, but it is clearly a better way forward this season.

the OBI/Quick pairing is looking quite potent.  I disagree about benching Kemba.  We need to empower him to lead.  Let him be the captain on the court.

Toppin & Quickley on court: positive 28.5 net rating, 100th percentile

Toppin & Quickley off court: negative 9.6 net rating; 15th percentile

[Kam]

Randle should dribble more.  He tends to get the ball and just pass off quickly without threatening the D. 

Randle is always a threat.  We don't want him dribbling the ball and spinning into turnovers.  We want him to make quick decisions to pass or shoot.  When LeBron came to Miami their record was 9-8 their first season after 17 games.  Eventually DWade let LeBron run the team.   Randle has to make a similar decision.  Trust Kemba with the keys to the car.  Don't go into dribble dribble ISO Melo mode.   

[lesterluv]

He's clearly been trying to do that last couple games.
But at times, like Bo says, he's almost giving it up too quickly.
Doesn't establish position or draw the defense, just gives up the rock.
It's been a little weird. Stuff being worked on and worked out clearly.
Suspect things will come together with practice, rhythm, improved execution. A lot of offensive ammunition in that starting lineup not firing effectively yet.


*** yes, that's no excuse for defensive intensity failures.
