Lol Tari's mom is active on twitter but she has never said such things or been a source of drama for the team…
They obviously lost Dillion in the trade he's one of the best defenders in the league. They lost some defense and gained a lot of offense. Had to give up something to get KD. The offense is going to thrive and defense will come together especially when DFS comes back. Will be as good defensively as last season? Doubt it. But they'll still be good and the offense will continue to be substantially better
This is what i want to see. I dont always want to see the double big there are teams it wont work against use it when nessicary dont force it
Amen needs to keep shooting 3’s and get into pg action. It drives me crazy when he gets the inbounds and slows the game down. Def the no college text book training shows.
