James Edwards

Still won 60 games and he was MVP.

Like, the thing that to me that they need to lean into is they were bad defensively in game one.

That can't happen.

And some of it was them, the players.

Some of it was JB not having a SAR on the floor.

I just think, listen, the spacing is going to be what it is.

That's the flaw with this team.

They decided at the deadline that they weren't ready to make a huge move.

They wanted to see what this team can do, and they'll probably address the roster, how it looks, and all that stuff this summer.

But even if, okay, you give Duren, let's see how Duren comes out in game two.

If he doesn't have it again, you know what?

Isaiah Stewart, Tobias Harris, Herter, Thompson, Cade, or throw Duncan in there, you'll be okay.

You'll be okay.

I think you could put Tobias on Wendell Carter Jr., and you live with that.

Then you put Isaiah on Paolo, and you live with that.

You put Assar on Franz, or maybe you try.

I don't know how much they tried Assar on Paolo.

I'm trying to remember off the top of my head.

that's how I felt too.

Right.
