I agree. They need to improve on defense. I'm not sure they are as good as their record. Their schedule seems really weak. They have beaten a lot of weak and injured teams. But they routinely give up 30 or more first quarter points and 60 or more second quarter points. For 7 out of 8 quarters they couldn't stop the Wizards from scoring. They couldn't stop the Spurs from scoring. They may be an up and coming team, but still a .500 team. We just traded baskets with these teams, making them look better than they are. I don't see us beating a healthy Boston team in a series. Maybe not OKC, Cleveland, Houston or Dallas either. We are weak up the middle.
Some nights KAT plays defense, other nights he doesn’t. OG needs to set the tone for the whole team. Every night we play D, regardless of our offense game.
The way u shore up the defense is on offense….stop taking so many BAD 3 pt shots and utilize the weapons you have, milk the pick and roll with Brunson and Kat, exploit the lanes with cuts, take the open 3 and kill them in the paint, mid range, that should help OG and Bridges have more energy to deal with the 1 v 1 situations later in games, plus they gonna have to do that more with Mitch coming back

Top 5 defense Not top 10 and more playing time for bench.
STAY HEALTHY

Bench points HAS to go up.

Yall don't worry about the bench. We have the best offensive in the league. You can't have both.
