Game 1 was pretty encouraging for the goal of "don't finish 30th in defense," but it hasn't looked good the last two games, lol.

Team looks like they could finish 8th or 10th in offense and 30th in defense if they didn't make trades.

Sad thing is, im pretty sure we were 10th in defense before this game and top 5 offense (I realize we've played nobody as well and a Clippers team that didnt know the season started).

We had already dropped to 17th in defense after the Suns game fwiw.
 
If there's a hill I'm willing to die on with the modern NBA, it's that you can't win a title if you're forced to give big minutes to rotations with multiple awful defenders.

You can get away with one really bad defender, but that really bad defender better be rock solid on offense.

The organization better start giving a damn about that end instead of treating its only good defenders like red-headed stepchildren.
 
It's a small sample size still, but I'm pretty sure I've never seen Lauri this good with his midrange game and overall balance with ball in his hand. If he keeps this up, he can become 30ppg kinda guy and you dont want to trade that guy.
