They lost to the Dark Bulls tonight who are 9-9, which puts them at 5-13. The records should probably be reversed based on talent (47 from KAT!). And man, Kris Dunn has been a Mudiay level of suckage, probably even worse actually.
I've watched a fair amount of their games. I honestly don't know why they are are only 5-13. Should be closer to 8-10 or 9-9. Seems like they are gassed by the start of the second half. They can't close games. Thibs hasn't fixed their defense. Lavine is super talented, but is often lost on defense.
I can see them being much better in the second half of the season and getting around 35-40 wins. They're so young, they're figuring it out. I look for Rubio to get traded. They need a point guard who can get buckets.
They should play Tyus Jones more. I could see Thibs trading Shabazz Muhammad or somebody for Deng somehow. What they really need is Jimmy Butler. Send back Andrew Wiggins plz.

The opening game loss was the best thing that could have happened to burst the media hoopla bubble. If they can win a few more and get to 20 straight wins the hype train will be rolling again.

I'm not a fan of Kyrie's one dimensional game but John Wall airballs that dagger three from game seven last year. And there's your key difference.
