Completely agree offensively.

If the sum of VTs parts beat you, that is what you cannot allow. Allow Neo to get his 20 through firm physical defense. Hold everyone else to nothing. But I think the answer is defensively frankly. Given the already outsized reliance on Neo as a producer (and the fact I don’t see anyone else on the roster stepping up in that way given Pasha isn’t there and that’s not Hammond either), attack him on the defensive end every single possession. Get him in foul trouble or, better yet, make him be the sieve to score on pace. So let him score when we he wants and then do everything you can to take him out of the game on defense. Especially in the first half there were a number of moments he got blown by. And I don’t think his conditioning has caught up yet with his frame. Make him defend and I think you see a good amount of difference on the offensive side too.

If you saw shot stats from game 1, you think he had a really great day Sat.
