    I've been waiting years for a coach like that! Years!!!!!
    Put up or shut up. No time for favorites on this team. Get out there and fight like a junkyard dog or you're in the doghouse.

    The culture is defense and accountability

    Tari and Bari have been my biggest surprises this year in their progress. I am so excited about these young guys and how great they are playing.

    I'm with ya on the shooting for Jabari. He's too good not to be taking a lot more shots. I've noticed that too, with him being open and balls just not being passed to him. It's even more frustrating when the guys not passing to him are shooting at a lower % practically every single game.

    There is not much to account for when multiple players are running out of juice and not able to do that on a high level throughout 40 minutes.....

    It just shows you the team is 8-9 man deep and a couple of vets that are playing out of their minds.

    This revolving door or roulette of whoever has his A game this day will eventually run its course.

    ------and it is back to oh where is the next superstar, can we trade for (sign) him....(next)

    Of course they’ll look for a superstar. That’s unrelated to the culture that Udoka is trying to build imo

    Some of those Tari shots though were offensive putbacks. The Rockets don't really run any plays for the guy in the halfcourt. I do agree that Jabari needs more scoring opportunities and those will come with time as he becomes more assertive and Ime feels more confident running the offense through him. I loved how he was bringing the ball down the court down the stretch in the 4th quarter. If he improves his handles, he's gonna be a pain in the ass to guard.

    Tari keeps messing around and I am going to confuse him with a young Kawhi Leonard.

    Of course, the Rox looking good on D, teams as the Magic, the Wolves have shown.......

    Turning up on Defense is not something that is really hard to do but to sustain over seasons..... and the Spurs will get there in time as well if they find defensive minded veteran players and someone who can run the point .....

    The point is to become great at both Offense and Defense, then you have a juggernaut on your hands.....

    And the MDA Bigglydick team was great on both Offense and Defense, on both ends....

    We’ve definitely got to toss Tari into that mix. He’s got his Bully going!
    So does Bari, though he’s scratching his head, wondering if it’s a compliment. It is!

    I think we may be talking over one another right now, but I don't disagree with what you wrote.
