Halftime thoughts:
1) I hope Conley isn't as shot as he appeared to be
2) I guess Jaden isn't over being foul prone. Has to stay on the floor.
3) NAZ was brutal, same with Donte
4) I'm more than interested in this rotation so far. Ingles has to be a spot player at most. I'm a bit surprised Minott didn't get some run.
5) We're a long ways from out of this game.

How are the Minott fans feeling?
I thought we could have used a shot of energy.
Yeah it was slow. Id take a few minutes with him or Dillingham over Ingles.
It's interesting how everyone talks about Finch and the "flow offense", ball movement, etc., but at the end of the day a lot of his main guys at the top of the rotation play pretty plodding basketball. And that includes Ant. Kind of a disconnect there.

Just stop with the bad turnovers and get a few more boards. The Lakers weren't great - they just made far fewer mistakes.

He has to get it under control right away. There isn't enough shots for everyone. Roles have to be defined and ball movement has to be #1.

We need some easy baskets. Felt like we were banging our heads against the wall.

We'll make a run. We played trash and without energy. Just rebound the ball, move it and let it fly. We win.

Finch wanted to call Jaden's number a lot a lot more, but at whose expense? Randle and Divincenzo at best, postpone that thought another year. At worst, he'll never get his name called, especially when Dillingham catches up to speed next year. The shots aren't gonna be there.

Team rebounding needs to be a thing. What happened to the team that played in the preseason? The defense is porous. Like a bunch of DLo's out there.

Randle started playing.
Naz and Randle are crap defenders, so the margin for error Rudy has is zero (at least KAT played himself into some sort of respectability last season on that end).

Ant throws that pass just slightly off to a wide open Rudy and he can't handle it. Sigh.
