We’re not totally there yet, but we’re headed in the right direction and not too far off. I’ve said all along, we have the talent to compete for a championship. The question has always been whether this blend of talent and their head coach can play at a level at least equal to and slightly better than the sum of its parts. Our starters struggled for a while but our bench came through. Then Julius and Donte came alive late.

We're now 15-0 when Clark gets at least 14 minutes, and 16-5 when Rudy gets at least 6 shots. I think I'd be leaning into those factors.

I’m not even sure Finch was gonna use Clark, but Shannon was sooo bad!

Lip, what do you mean we have the talent to compete for a championship? Do you mean a legitimate chance to win one? I hope that's not what you mean as we clearly don't. We might win a round of playoffs this year, but that is the ceiling. Unless of course additions are made.
