I wonder how short McDonough's leash is
I have been a McDonough apologist in the past. But the more I think about it... why *are* we hanging on to him? What has he done to keep his job? He has certainly made a ton of mistakes. Sometimes change is necessary. There has got to be a better option out there.
Team construction has been his biggest weakness and we're seeing it again.

I love watching Bender just run back on defense as we get the offensive rebound. So tired of him sitting in the corner and turning to run back on d as soon as the ball is shot.

I mean... also talent evaluation, right?? Almost every pick he has made has been the consensus pick for the spot. Sure, we have Ayton and Booker, but is that really an accomplishment?

Did we just get blocked 3 times on a single trip down the floor?

57 points through 3 quarters. Booker and Ayton will have to play out of their minds to keep this team respectable
