3 absolutely correct statements

Last year was hard because we had to adjust to a new coach, with a new defensive scheme and we were fucked early because of it, thus relying on big minutes from starters with an insanely unproductive bench unit.

This year is different. The players are quickly gel’ing with a new coach (we were like 6-7 this time last season?) with great bench. We actually CAN go hard early and set ourselves up with a favourable seed and let our depth take the reigns late in the season while our JT and JB and other starters get their much needed late season rest before entering the playoffs


18-21 after the Knicks game was the low point of the season. It was truly an amazing turnaround.
Depth is def better than last year. Could make all the difference at the end of the year.

And at least Rob is injured at the right time of year too. Hopefully the late season hamstring issues don’t effect Jaylen either if we continue this early good start to the season, and allow him that late rest.

Yeah, Rob will obviously be limited the entire season. Don’t need to take any chances with him.

JB’s knee is also an issue so he can join the list late in the year.

Tatum was the only one that look fatigued and it was really only in the finals. I’m not buying any fatigue excuse for the other players because I didn’t see that at all. Tatum was getting to the rim and hitting the bottom of the rim…shooting turnaround airballs. We didn’t lose as a team because of fatigue. They just weren’t ready and Tatum was still too soft. He talked a lot about how he changed his diet and how he worked on his body during the offseason. Just have to wait and see if it pays off…looking good so far.

Because Curry doesn’t play a lick of defense and Tatum does?

Wouldn’t expect you to understand anything about basketball though other than ball goes in hoop

And I already said Giannis was better. But Ja Morant? Lol ffs

Where would you place Curry in defense as a top 100? If even that?

?? What the fuck kinda question is this?

Anyways.. Curry is not a “Bad defender,” This is lazy casual rhetoric from like YEARS ago, I thought this sub was better than that.

He is an above average defender at this point, nowhere near a liability that he was in his younger years where he was smaller. & He actually has a better DBPM than Tatum by a healthy margin.

the kind of question the begs to know where amongst the players you would rank him in defensively.
