The heightened competition has led to Randle's performance returning to an average level at best. With things not going his way, rather than facilitating offense for others, he is disrupting the flow and struggling to assert himself effectively.
 
DVV needs to remain the starting SG. Grimes is Frank 2.0 - good defender that doesnt do anything. the annoying part is that Grimes's jumper looks good and he moves fluidly. he just doesn't do anything to create his own shot or make enough 3s to be dangerous.
 
I've been cautioning against excessive confidence; our victories have mainly been against lower-ranked teams. As a mid-tier team, when facing top-tier opponents, our weaknesses become apparent. The qualities people overlook in wins against weaker teams are glaringly obvious.
 
defense is highly overrated if your offense is a negative at the the guard positions and you’re getting decent minutes.
 
We'd get more out of guys with more variety in plays. I'll always say Mitch doesn't get enough lobs thrown his way. Grimes doesn't get to cut going to the rim often.
 
It might be time to experiment with Grimes off the bench. Dont think he's a good enough starter, but def better than alot of bench guys.
 
Could you imagine a playoff team with its starting SG averaging 7/1/1 shooting under 40% with zero made free throws. Son you aren’t winning anything with that.
