They discuss how the team's familiar struggles with physicality and rebounding resurfaced, particularly criticizing Jarrett Allen's performance. The conversation also focuses on the team's offensive "growing pains" due to injuries and the challenge of finding a balance between an Evan Mobley and Donovan Mitchell led offense. Despite the loss, they note it's only the first game and that facing adversity early could be beneficial for the team's development.
