Masai even used the word rebuild in his interview today, which is refreshing to hear a team admit it's current plan. I think there is a lot to like about this team, but ya the lack of a proven shooter is going to make it a pretty challenging season. Will be fun to see guys like Barnes and Banton etc get minutes though.
That was a really fun 2nd half to watch, looked dominant
Sky is the limit for Barnes
Good decision by Nurse for starting Trent Jr, I thought it would take at least 5-10 games for him to try it but am very glad he didn't wait

I just can't get over what a veteran play this is for Barnes. Not just because of the no-look pass. But because he identified a 3-on-2 developing on that side of the court back at his own three point line, and then gave a one-dribble burst of speed to get the angle on his own defender to create multiple passing lanes and put Tatum and Richardson in an impossible situation.
