Lots of assists. I don't think we're actively trying to ISO and bog down the offense. That was the offense we were running.Teams got could at countering. Trap Brunson. Put a center on Hart. Put a wing on KAT. Hart loses confidence in taking open 3s. Guys get bunched up in traffic. Brunson has to ISO for us to score. Bad habits ensue...but guys have to take the reins and be confident in what they are doing. This time with Brunson away hopefully renews their focus and helps define their place in the offense again.
good post, you watch BOS play, and they just move, move move until they generate an open 3. And that's a benefit of continuity, and we're seeing it with CLE also who seemingly out of nowhere is the best offensive team in the NBA. Yet CLE fans were so down on that team because they didn't dominate right away. They won 48 games last year.
Now look at us year 1, on pace for 53 wins, yet many people are disappointed. But give these guys some time, especially with Mitch back now, and maybe we can add another decent bench piece this summer, or maybe some of the rookies become impact guys.
