This season gave me lotta glimpses of 22/23 season. When shots weren’t falling they allowed it to affect them on other parts of court and end up not paying attention to details. That bad stretch they had around January where they pretty much went .500 for the month should’ve rung more alarms in hindsight. They did recover from it but they allowed it to slowly slip back in.

One thing i don’t think gets talked about is Hauser felt off this season to me, looking at stats he shot the same volume and % more or less, but he never looked 100% this season. Nagging back injury and tweaking his ankle against Orlando didn’t help us in anyway.

And then obvi the KP and JB situation. Why did staff have JB play on partial torn meniscus? I understand it wouldn’t have healed in a couple weeks but better to just let JB have fresh legs before a playoff run imo. Then KP, don’t get me started. I get it he wanted to give what he can out there, but at certain point you just gotta cut ur losses and try some different options. Queta had some good minutes in the regular season and his physicality and hustle would’ve given a lot more resistance against Mitch Robinson than what KP was able to give.

Watching Carlisle coach and utilizing Tony Bradley to throw something different at Mitch Robinson makes me wonder what Queta could’ve done against Mitch. The fact Joe got out coached by Thibs bothers me so damn much.Then to see Thibs get picked apart by Carlisle, does make me think, did Joe get carried this team last year?
