Really good stuff here from Andy Larsen. I thought he really hit the nail on the head on what's causing our offensive woes.
I guess I see the glass half full, you half empty.
Dante and Royce were the only plus players in the game. Everyone else was minus.
We traded valuable assets and space for Conley to do better than 6 assists and 6 rebounds. Yes, Donovan is more to blame for last night's loss. However, Conley was supposed to come here, be a threat, and make life easier for Donovan and everyone else. Conley has disappointed.That's not true. 6 rebounds and 6 assists for Mike. He was after the boards, and gave a bunch of effort to get them. He also had only 1 turnover to those 6 assists.
Donovan was only good in one part of the game, for a guard. And that was rebounding the ball himself, with 7. If you were to ask me as to who lead the charge in this loss, it's Donovan. You should also expect more from him, than 5/24. A lot of his shots today were some of the worst forced shots you will ever see from him.
But you can with a top 5 defense and a top 10 offense. So far the offense has been ugly. I'll wait at least a month until I really worry.I see an offense that has never really clicked in a way we need it to click to be a contender. You don't challenge for a title with an offense that's half a glass. Whichever way you look at that half.
2016-2017. We were 12th in ORTG (109 per 100 poss) and 3rd in DRTG (104.7). Per NBA.com
Edit: in 2015-2016 we were 16th. I think you need to check your sources.
