What’s up squad? Couple of questions as it regards to MPJ:

On court: The backside help defense has been rough from him, obviously. But I get the sense that it is because he is avoiding hard contact. What does he need to do to sure up his defense, and as a result, become a staple in the rotation?

Off court: He made an IG post on 2/11 that just said “Lone Wolf” as he was walking in for a game. Watching him on TV, it seems like he IS kinda the lone wolf on the team. i.e. after timeouts walks straight to the bench, doesn’t really talk to any one. Being in the locker room, do you get the sense he is isolated from the rest of the team? Do we see that as a potential issue in the short term (this season) OR the long term (next contract)?

Hey guys, going into another national TV game – question on how much the media can realistically watch each team. Doris (The legend) last week sounded like she had watched every game, others clearly don’t put in the work. Can you talk about what national people are able to do for coverage? Comparing the tv guys to even Zach Lowe or the guys like Duncan & Leroux – how much do they watch and how much of their analysis is statistical only?

Do other teams run hockey type subs like Malone was so fond of doing until recently? Seems like pretty basic stuff to stagger your starters (shots at Scott Brooks) but am I missing something?
