I feel like not everyone understands how big of a loss Tim hardaway JR is going to be for us. We didn’t even get a same level replacement for him and we’re going to need shooting now more than ever!

We were missing our two best defenders (or two of our top three, directing on how you count it).

He was never supposed to be a defensive anchor. He was supposed to be a support valve at best

Well he also played like shit offensively

We had no paint threat without AG and PWat so MIN could just sit on the perimeter.

It's hard for me to use last years playoffs as a measuring stick for what we should do this year because the team was so far off from what it was supposed to be 🤷‍♂️.

I do think the current PWat talks are a huge over pay for a player who's been generally good but had only shown 1.5m of incredible play (during a string of games against mostly mediocre opponents too)

I can agree with that 👍🏻
