The 10 minutes a game TB was playing a night in the playoffs was not the problem... That has become the narrative and its ****ing hilarious when you look at the actual results. Also, backup bigs end up playing less...This rookie is definitely not a clear sign of our return to an elite defensive. The biggest problem was—and remains to be—out on the perimeter.
And you can vouch for me on this... its never the guy... like Udoka might be Clint Capela without any FT shooting at all... its the process we got there. I've given DL the benefit of the doubt when he has ****ed up the process so many times... I called my shot at the time without hindsight. This was the final piece of evidence for me that he doesn't get it and he isn't flexible or nimble enough to ever get us to a point where we can compete at the highest levels. That is my frustration... even a small chance of hope and I will ride with you. Small markets have to squeeze blood from a turnip to get to the promised land... we consistently **** up around the edges.
The team we have this year will be our best team for the next 5-10 years. I will enjoy them and try to put the blinders on to not think about how much better it could have been if we didn't **** up basic stuff.
