Lean into what works? (Our starters doing well - still a small sample size, but promising)

    @Deuce



    You took an extremely small sample size when you made that tweet, what was the intention? I also don't quite understand what you meant by "bench unit"? Several of them are starters.

    How about this?



    And within that group:

    “Lean into what works” is close to saying “lean into what holds you up.” And the latter is advice for drunks.

    just sayin’

    I don't think I exposed a secret here, that's been pretty well-known and not been kept a secret by these posters/tweeters. I think their real names on Twitter have been quoted here either by themselves or when Clutch invited them to podcasts or to write guest articles.

    Just like most regulars know that Ben DuBose is @The Cat or who @BimaThug is (David Weiner).

    That was all their choice. It should definitely be respected if someone does NOT want to reveal their real name.

    No kpj and no tari Eason has really hurt our team but it’s gonna be alright. Just need time for our players to gel and maybe get a rim running big man at the trade deadline

    I really don't think losing KPJ hurt. It was addition by subtraction.

    Agree on Tari - that has definitely hurt.

    So even with Dillon eventually regressing to the mean, we should be able to improve.

    Alpi can still play better, Jalen definitely should be able to play better, Jabari as well (even though Jabari has been pretty good, in my opinion). And just having Tari back should be huge, and hopefully Amen and Cam eventually contributing positively would be icing on the cake.

    Well said. I think cam needs a more realistic shot at PT but amen looks scared out there to me. He needs to gleague action to get going but I can see them 2 and Tari leading the bench brigade by the middle of the season.

    If he could do anything like Ausar who just got 4 steals and 4 blocks last night...that would be nice.

    Really? Well I'm glad to hear that. Our complaints were heard.

    If Sengun wasn't doing his best Shaq impersonation at the line it would be even higher. He has got to get better at the line.

    Good. I thought he added nothing.

    Everything is small sample right now as the season starts. And we are just looking at things at a game by game basis as Udoka tinkers with rotations. I just pointed out what worked at the time.

    Ime has already been doing this - his rotation has been shrinking.

    It is obvious.

    This is what I love about Ime so far. He tries something, if it works good, if not he attempts to correct it quickly but giving the players a fair chance.
