What's it going to take to get this team up and ready at opening tip off? They tried starting Tate. That didn't work. Have we tried starting with Cousins and Wood? Nwaba instead of Tucker? Aerobics? Gummy bears? Our first 12 shots were from 21 feet or more and 90% of them were from 3. WTF?
But we are a good offensive team. Wall, Wood, Oladipo, Cousins Gordon. All very good offensive players.
We arent. The only one out of any of those guys who are efficient scorers is Gordon. Other than that......its not so good. We also dont have shooters on this team. Our best shooter at the one of the most efficient shots in the game, isnt getting his shots there. Our playmakers arent that good at passing, it is what it is. Oh yea Woods is efficient too....but not efficient enough.
And winning games against bad teams. Wiz/Pistons are the worst teams in the league, Blazers/Mavs had a ton of guys out These guys need rhythm, we don't have any tier 1 or even 2 scorers. We got tier 3 guys, above-average offensive players most nights, borderline all-stars on good nights in Wall/Wood/Oladipo, but none are solid stars, and none are superstars. I have to imagine, as time goes on, as Silas (if he's a good coach) sinks his teeth in some more, as the chemistry forms, players find their roles, we should begin to have better starts... but honestly, I think it's way more likely the whole game starts to look like our first quarters once we face some real teams.
