These injuries are killing us and nobody is stepping up. It can shoulder the load if we have floor spacers or something going on on offense. Horford is struggling to score down low, Smart can't consistently hit 3s, Brown is unproven and not confident yet. It's just a recipe for disaster

Brown has to dunk that layup.

But the MOVE is there. The finish will come.

I agree. That's a move jordan used to use a lot spinning towards the baseline. With his athleticism and threat to score on the block, that could be a very effective move for him

Ugh, IT's defense is just so, so terrible. Always gets exposed when we play these super backcourts.

And this kid is 20 years old, Jordan didn't even come in to the NBA until, what 22?

Ugh, Jaylen: beautiful move, but can't finish the relatively easy layups...

We ll just loose a few games while Jaylen gets on the job training while AB is out ., I'm good with the trade off.

A third pick should be out on the court .  We need him to develop.

Gotta play through!

There's a problem when your two best players in IT and Al have no idea how to guard a pick and roll. You should literally just put them in the pick and roll every time down the floor if you're the opponent, because there's always an open guy somewhere.

Yes, he needs to play to iron out the wrinkles in his game!

This.... is what you get for not playing him more earlier.

Smart needs to learn when to go under the screen. Sometimes the gap and the jump is just to hard to counter

James Young just terrible at defense
