    There are honestly a lot of things causing issues.

    But if I had to sum it up to just the biggest, it would come down to poor Defensive communication and rotations, particularly on the perimeter…

    A serious lack of rim pressure and dribble penetration…

    And youth related unforced errors

    The team is very easy to generate open perimeter looks against. They over help at times and other times completely forget to rotate to wide open Shooters

    When the game slows down they lack the players with the ability to get downhill and cause defensive collapse and open up easy Looks on the perimeter. So instead they have to move the ball aimlessly swinging it around the horn. Hoping that someone either hits a contested shot or that opposing defense make an error

    And they quite often create problems for themselves. Defensively with live ball turnovers paused from forcing the issue and making overly ambitious or poorly executed plays that will get a lot cleaner and sharper with experience.

    I actually think this team has played really good stretches of basketball and every game except the Indiana and clippers games. It’s minimizing the mistakes and finding more consistency that’s going to start bringing in the wins. I’m not as doom and gloom as a lot of people on the subreddit and I do think we’re going to see some success in the quality of basketball product sooner rather than later.

    Our wins are against a Rockets team who hadn’t gelled yet and a Suns team without Beal both games and without Booker for 1 game. It’s not a slump this team just isn’t good

    Young team that needs to find it’s communication and habits, many players in new roles for the first time (Wemby rookie, Sochan PG, Keldon reduced role, Vassell primary creator which he didn’t get a full season of, Collins full time starter…)

    We were projected to win 28 games. We’re not struggling as much as this is who we are. At the beginning of the season I thought we would go 1-9 in the first 10 games. The only win coming against the Rockets.
