Episode notes
Team Needs More Aggressive Bench
- The Warriors lack aggressive, hungry bench players who attack the rim and set tone.
- Marcus and Tim contrast Golden State's hesitancy with Houston's young, attacking role players like J.D. Davison.
Insert Attackers To Spark Offense
- Insert energetic, attacking options like Pat Spencer, Moses Moody, or De'Anthe Melton to create immediate rim pressure.
- Tim Kawakami and Marcus recommend playing those who will aggressively get to the cup and rebound.
Roster Philosophy Limits Aggression
- Warriors construction favors high-IQ, coachable 'thoughtful' players, which can yield hesitancy.
- Tim warns that this self-selection can leave the bench short on instinctive drivers to the rim.
