Spartica4Real Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 For a team that's supposed to have a defensive identity, our defense is utter trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be anyways tbh. We've been so sloppy with the turnovers and it's costing us leads, we've had double digit leads in all 3 games that evaporated. Yes, part of it is just basketball being a game of runs and momentum, but we're not helping when we get sloppy and turn it over with leads. If they can work on that we're gonna be damn good, our offense is looking great outside of that and the bench is playing awesome. Defense will be fine, started bad last year too.

And people LOL at me for suggesting Kuz should start over Ingram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and fwiw I actually agree (feels wrong) with you about Kuzma starting. It's probably gonna happen eventually whether its at SF or PF. I think my ideal starting line-up would be Ball/KCP/Kuzma/Randle/Lopez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuz and Ingram are long enough defenders. Though not overly strong at rebounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuz and Ingram are long enough defenders. Though not overly strong at rebounding. I just think that line-up is really weak (literally). They would get bullied and wouldn't be good rebounding or defensively. I want Lonzo surrounded by shooters and other guys that can create their own shot. Randle doesn't fit the shooter part, but he can create for himself, gets out in transition (important with Lonzo), helps with rebounding (important with a center who isn't a good rebounder) and switching on defense. I really think he would benefit with the spacing that starting line-up would create for him. Kuzma over Ingram is because he is just the better shooter right now and is playing smarter basketball. He doesn't stop the ball constantly. He probably is also the better rebounder and defender right now. Although, just like Ingram he could benefit from getting stronger.
