Maxi at the 4 and THJ as a spark plug 2, both from off of the bench, are great depth. A good coach knows when to sit both, especially if one keeps being hunted on the defensive end in THJ.
THJ didn't appear to learn shit all on shot selection last night. Jacked up a couple of deep contested threes. He's nice when he's hitting, but I he's one for certain that I won't miss...

THJ isnt necessarily hunted. He just doesnt know when to hedge, loses track of his man by ball watching, has a terrible feel and anticipation of screens.
He is a lost cause and shouldnt be getting more than 12-15 mins a game unless he is having one of those flamethrower games where he has it going immediately.
Kidd and the coaching staff should have already eliminated many of the same defensive 101 mistakes they have made since he was hired. Just rolling mostly with what RC had in place isn't good enough.
The roster is better but we consistently make fundamental errors in defensive strategy that will force us to have an incredibly hot offensive playoff run to contend.
