Maybe im wrong, but we lost Tyus and Dillon, which were the "veterans" (most experienced) and lead the mindset of the team. I believe JJJ is a bit soft and Ja has his problems and all we need is playing meaningful basketball. And also what should we do once Ja is back, shutting down him again?

I believe it's too early, even if we end up something like 5-20. A 36-21 record would put us even, at playoff zone, a couple win less 33-24 would mean play-in like and i dont think is unreasonable to achieve with Ja and other guys healthy. I understand a pick could be more valuable than a first round exit, but losing culture can do more damages.
People thinking Bane is better than Ja are delusional
People saying Memphis has no grizzly, Toronto show me your raptors or Utah show me your jazz
It's insane, yes, but we always allow the opponent bigs an insane amount of blocks because we tend to play on the paint. Like look at how many blocks AD had on our playoff series, he's a great defender but he had over 4 blocks (4,3) per game
It's crazy how much mediocre (good?) player Biyombo is as a player but he totally makes us infinitely better. He did some mistakes but he literally won us the game.
Typical Westbrook monster game against us is coming, nothing new.
I totally agree with Silver, NBA media cover so little strategies and actual aspects of the game and are more interested on drama or making rankings or tier lists, and it's a shame cause there's so much strategy on a single basketball game.
Basketball coaches have a lot of impact on trying to figure out the best lineup to counter the opponent and find the right schemes before a single game and then adjust in real time. Sometimes tho, especially in NBA, when you have a team with 3-4 "stars" and mediocre players, coaches have to find a compromise between managing their ego and playing "the right way", and sometimes it's a game of individuals trying to put the ball inside the basketball.
Idk about the NFL, but basketball coaches have way more impact than soccer coaches, mostly because there are more pauses during the game and it's more difficult to manage 11 players in a bigger field in real time and also because basketball games are mostly about two phases (offense and defense) which repeat themselves for like 100 times really similar between each other and it's easier to make adjustments
