💭 Random shout: 🇺🇸 gets grouped
@KuKhahil It is a good look, but his percentages from that range and beyond this series is atrocious. He had a play earlier in the game where pump faked and finished cleanly at the lane. That would’ve been the better shot here.
@_leeescobedo In the Pop coaching tree, his closest comp may be Budenholzer (but I think he has a chance to be much better given that he took less time to elevate to a top job).
@chillbutvibrant@_leeescobedo Agreed. The hot take adjustment would be to actually start Fox and Harper and bring Castle off the bench as a destroyer on the second unit (and still have him available to close out the game).
@_leeescobedo I think Mitch is a good coach, but he is young and naive (just like his roster). He is going to have growing pains. We cannot expect him to have it all figured out as he finishes his (essentially) second year at the helm.
@_leeescobedo He will not want to disrupt what he believes got him here and assume that these two games in SA were an aberration rather than a trend. I’m not he is right, but that’s what he will believe.
@DarkBenf@UtdChulo Players who played in the UCL final who played friendlies in the past few days: Trossard, Havertz, Marquinhos, Martinelli, Gyokeres, Zaire-Emery, Barcola.
@Tre_Potts He low key should be playing somewhat like Bruce Bowen. He should not be playmaking, and he should not be handling the ball unless he is open in the corner. He should be crashing offensive boards and go wild on defense. Thats how he can thrive.
