This team is in win now mode and he is being paid. Like KAT, for a chip run these guys have to adapt and perhaps as clyde alluded to last night his touches are not as frequent thus his rythem is out not synched.
They have to do other things and perhaps its why the defense is improving?
The winning is happening.
The slow starts? well, can they really be expected to be undefeated.
Not like knicks are the only team with flaws. Not like we follow other teams to this extent.
Pistons recently lost 4 in a row. Bad teams sometimes play well too and beat other teams as well.
Also, other teams have to deal with playoff basketball and adapt as well.
In BKN Bridges was the no. 1 option and think of the touches he got. We have plenty of firepower and if the team is down with winning and they are getting paid im not too worried. They are well suited for a the grind of the playoffs and he will have his moments.
This shit happend last season and perhaps it was not well communicated well between him and Thibs. Brown is more player friendly but might be asking him to do similar stuff, but whats different is he got his bag. Maybe he does get traded if we don't get it done this year.
The 5 picks? Two are already spent and Not like they were significant. One was for BKN to eat Bogdan's contract. And lets be honest, not all picks are the same.
Is he soft? No, he is finesse. Plays hurt and the defense is there. Offensively he does disappear. So does OG. So does Kat. Good teams it happens. Is he likable? Apparently not by all fans. He is arrogant.
Funny we find reasons to hate on our guys when they get paid big and are not perfect. KAT is allstar and was allNBA last year, but we find cause. Mikal, clowns a bit after making 3's.
I think this team is on each other after the losing streak and were humbled by it. Quesiton is can it sustain thru a long playoff season?
Thats for us to witness. No clear path unless we rally like hell and win 60 games.
