Yesterday showed they can do it. With playoff intensity it’ll be interesting to see how it goes. But I’m still concerned about the lineups that will be out there.
Nah, you’re not fooling me again. We’re mad streaky atm lmao.
I mean they could literally only go up in the rankings soooooo
Says a lot about how bad the scheme change was post All Star break when going from 30th to 27th is like +12drtg.
Ever since the trade the defense has been improved. The only bad stretch was the “tinkering period” after the all star break when the coaching staff decided they had different personnel now and could change the entire defensive scheme and everyone seemed lost. Now defense has looked good again.
that must mean they were really good on defense recently because wasn’t that a historically bad stretch? takes a lot to undo those bad games.
