Bullet dodged.
That being said, these last two games kinda showed we maybe arent tier 1 yet.
We are ahead of schedule and I'm not gonna be too critical but we need to tighten shyt up
Without Caruso, our defense has slipped a lot. We stay getting killed by role players getting hot from 3. It dont be stars that bury us. Its Mills being in NBA Jam from 3....its Kuminga going off when he has been meh all year.
Kinda want more actual offensive sets not just Zach and Demar initiating all offense. It's ok sometimes but it can get predictable. Lonzo needs to be on ball more so DeMar and Zach can concentrate on being finishers. As great as Zach is, I dont think he is a dude that should be on ball a ton....he is best suited as a devastating off ball finisher.
Vuc is back to being kinda unreliable....I was hoping he permanently turned a corner but he been a bit shaky esp defensively
A bit concerned we peaked a bit too early....I see Milwaukee, Miami gaining steam.
If we dont tighten up, we could easily drop to 4th or 5th and Philly is a threat if they can pull off a solid Simmons trade to get Jo help
Still pleased at our progress so I dont wanna have knee jerk reactions to these blowouts.....I only expected 44 wins so we playing with house money rn
Just thinking long term about what would us a true contender
