They need to play together and develop the chemistry. You have to like what you saw tonight, especially at the end. Confidence and the played off each other perfectly.

Beasley being out actually is exactly what these two needed.

Actually there really is only a few great defensive Teams in the NBA anymore, and with the refs.....offense is king.

The more him and KAT play together the better they will be. I would put the ball in DLO’s hands for a shot at the end 10 times out of 10. The guy has got guts!!

That FT triangle action is awesome stuff. Fun game.

I like the Naz/KAT combo. Hopefully another big is on the radar this offseason.

On offense it’s just OK, on D - they don’t add up right. NAZ for his size is a poor rebounder and doesn’t seem to use his body or weight under the hoop to move bodies.

That's so unfair to Beasley though, he was coming off a layoff, but before he went out, he was arguably playing our best consistent ball, considering KAT and Dlo had injuries while he was playing lit. The whole team needs reps together, and Beasley on the floor with the two man game of KAT and Dlo, and Ant ready to shred the lane with just a twitch....the whole team needs that. They all compliment each other.

Learn the game noob.

What you know about DLo? :lol:
I'll bet a perma ban that next year that DHoe won't lead us to the play offs or at the very highest an eighth seed.

If you're so confident then take the bet :lol: :lol:

When KAT has the ball and everyone is cutting it does two things:

1. Increases the assist / easy bucket opportunities.

2. Makes it very difficult for defense’s to double-team KAT.

That’s all Finch and it’s working.

Remember Saunders’ handoff / weave offense? Puke. He had a horrible system for the wrong players and on top of it he couldn’t manage a game.

we've had a couple of headscratching losses since the all star break. games that we absolutely should have won. so yeah, rome wasn't built in a day. but the difference prior to after the break is pretty stark nonetheless.

Oddly it all also correlates with less Beasley on the floor.

Should have been moved at the deadline for a PF.

My case for moving him has been proven almost jodadamus-like.

If you're so confident then take the bet :lol: :lol:
Well you seriously hedge that bet by adding they may make the playoffs at all. I wouldn’t touch that bet if I was Unfade.

If they make the playoffs as a final seed shouldn’t we all be happy. Also if DLO is a big factor in that shouldn’t he then be worshipped here. I mean some here want a statue of Butler erected outside Target Center for that and still tell Paul Bunyan-like tall tales of him for just that.

DLO is maddening. They are going to live and die by him under Rosas, and we as fans have to live with it...or not - He still isn’t going anywhere. He believes in himself more than anyone in the world, if Finch can can get him to do more good than bad with that....I’ll root for him.

We should give Finch credit.

But maybe we should look at the rosters if we are going to dissect.

The games right before the All Star Break felt like a crushing low point, you have been one of the few people pointing out the positives since.

You are right.
