You’d think Bledsoe would want to make a trade to a veteran team happen, but he’s just laughing all the way to the bank and stealing minutes from the development of our younguns. I’ll gladly live with losses if we can offload this joker. You’d think he would at least try defensively if he’s going to be such a godawful creator on the offensive end, but no. Also, Stan being a dumbass and shrinking the rotation again on a back to back no less! The 2 game winning streak got to his head and now he thinks we are a playoff team again. Idiot. Dumby. Can we get a coach with awareness of the situation? One that realizes he is coaching young talent? Seriously what is the guy thinking? Development takes priority.
Listening to The Ringer University pod and Tajiks said in reference to the Wolves, “When you’re playing 6-7 young guys in a rotation, it makes it really difficult to win.” We should not lose sight of this when it comes to the Pels. Teams this young almost never win.
it was a good game for us to take....the bucks took advantage of our pick n roll defense...we gave up too many easy shots/floaters in the paint in the PNR defense that added up for the bucks and that was a big reason why they beat us...
In 99 out of 100 instances, giving up an average of 32.25 points per quarter loses. We can talk about what Player X, Player Y, or Player Z (and we do incessantly) does offensively; until each in this group (including Player Z, by the way) decides to defend, we lose.
I don't think it's difficult to figure out at all.

I was a bit surprised at JJ being in the game late in the 4th. Would have expected to see Hart in the game.
There is starting a “young” team, and then there is starting a young talentless team.
The Pels are “young”, but those young players are very talented, and most of them (Zion, BI, Zo, Heart, Lewis) are your future and they need to play together more in order to grow together. There is nothing wrong with giving those guys big mins as they have shown that they have “it”. This isn’t the 04-05 Hornets where we were young and talentless, and DX was the only player worth a flip. This team is young, but being young can’t be blamed for why these guys aren’t getting more money.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
And I haven’t completely written off Hayes either, but I would prefer going with Steve and Billy over Hayes as they are good enough, and young enough to build with as well. Sure they aren’t in their early 20s, but they have staying power. Unless a spacing 4-5 comes along, keep playing them, and send Hayes down to the G-League to get some run. The G-League isn’t a death sentence. Countless players have gone to the G-League and returned strong/AS level.
