Its hard to pin down exactly what the problem is when everything looks so bad. But what I see is that if we aren't scoring well, we aren't doing anything... and if you don't do anything, then you aren't going to score well.
I think the crux of the issue is pretty much the roster. If we aren't shooting well for whatever reason, we aren't scoring. That sounds like a "duh" statement, but other teams have guys with talent to do other things until you start scoring. Some teams will miss a lot get offensive boards, if you get offensive boards with second chance points and get free throws, eventually you'll start scoring. Or else just have a perimeter guy who can at least draw contact, none of our perimeter guys shoot free throws. Get going on fast breaks, get easy buckets that way. We haven't been doing that. Even our defense, our defense doesn't power us because its all Dwight and not great team defense.
That's the best I can think of anyway, we just aren't that good. I hope we can pull it together somehow, make some extraordinary efforts. That's the only way we're going to win games until we get out of this, in very, very ugly fashion. But I'd take any kind of win.
