Breathe. 

I don’t like the way it looks either. Maybe this team needs to trade for three difference makers. Kyrie, Davis, & Lively. They don’t have a lot of draft capital, so it will be difficult to pull off, but those three could put them over the top.

In all seriousness, I’m not even the least bit concerned about Flagg. He shows flashes of IT. That’s more than enough to give me the patience to see his growth play out. I think Kidd is playing the long game with him, and I think it’s the right call. He’ll be special. Give it time.

Yeah, Flagg will be fine.  I would be lying to say I expected some of these rough games.   I did expect plenty of bumps but I thought there would be more of a splash.    I think it will come eventually.  I think he is learning that he probably needs to get stronger.   Taking on contact and finishing will come.   Next is a floater in the lane.  In time, he will be a monster.

I think the evaulation is how he plays with PJ, AD, and LIvely.    I think this team looks much different with 1-2 more players who are smart who can create and shoot.   That would open up a ton.   They are real limited with this now.    

They are better than they have shown.   It doesn't appear they are as good as I hoped though.   I don't see them as a playoff team now, while before the season I would have said between 6-9 range.  Long season though.
