I think the recipe for the 10 wins that our young team has collected so far has come down to two major ingredients and that is good defense and ball movement. Last night, we had some ball movement but there still was a bit too much of Iso ball going on down the stretch and we can't afford to do that unless the ball is in the hands of a shooter like Lou or Uncle P who are more than capable of creating their own shots.
Also, there needs to be better defense and especially TEAM DEFENSE. I know a lot of people in this sub have conflicting opinions about how to fix that such as switching less to purposefully create mismatches and things of that nature. I'm not a basketball genius of any sort but I know one thing and that is we're still ranked 29th in overall defense in the NBA and whatever the team's defensive system or mindset right now.... it's not working and it needs to be fixed ASAP.
It just sucks because we know that our young team has great potential to be a dark horse in the league but when you lose 6 in a row because of bad decisions and turnovers... it just really fucking hurts man.
But at the end of the day, I still love basketball.
