@AaronLarsuel@CantBeatAudel All communication has been amongst players it seems, so unless we hear the players on these teams are also advocating for a trade with their front office there might be some smoke imo
@Tim_NBA Some of that seems to be explained by Lebron, Rui, Kennard being out (heavy down in playmaking, midrange talent). No Smart, Ayton, Hayes seems to not be too much of a hit on the defensive side of things, but a bit eye opening perimeter iso def falling despite added talent
@RajChipalu@damanr@joinoffside The coaching isn’t good enough and needs a retool. Certainly injuries affect chemistry but it just feels like Reddick is figuring it out on the fly. There’s no excuse for the team to not have installed principles on facing drop by game 58.
@ClaireMPLS It’s okay to say it’s mostly the coaching staff. Reddick has 0 coaching experience, and the assistants were formerly fired. As the season goes on, teams adjust and the staff can’t figure it out for the 2nd year in a row
@JSMonYT Bad outweighs the good. All the good was largely based on luck. Championship team was not formed with analysis, those were just the players available that happened to form insane chemistry. AR could’ve been drafted to Detroit, but chose not to. The playoffs is based on talent
@DeepVoiceKam My guess is the direct will start with prime 4 + release date or a new Mario title (not 3D Mario). Could see the reverse though as just as plausible
