Smith and Knox just do not look like they belong. We will have to attempt to be patient but there’s nothing about them that look like nba players right now.

That's what happens when you start Elfrid Payton (20%) and then have DSJ (29%) as the first PG off the bench

Switching back and forth between zone and man...Difficult to probe a zone.

Smithjr's crossover seems slowish. We've seen him blow by good defenders. Wish he would pick up the pace.

Question why they were trying to attack it with a PnR? Gotta attack it feeding the high post.

They both suck. No D, can't shoot, turnover the ball (especially in DSJ's case). Our plus minus when DSJ and Knox were on the court together last year was like -20

You have to be playing with High IQ players to understand that

Don't disagree...Thinking causes players to play slower. I think Dennis is caught between when to attack and when to get his teammates involved. He just needs to be aggressive and react.
