Yeah, that was very clearly an issue against a strong rebounding team with a size advantage.

Yup. We scored 121 points on 64.8% TS. Offense wasn't an issue. We had some turnover/poor possession problems in the second half, but we were giving up so many easy baskets that ultimately, the offense was never going to catch up once we got behind by double digits.

The focus on the 1A has more to do with title contention than being a competent team. The latter is more of the hurdle on which we should be focusing, absolutely. We have enough scoring potential to be a decent squad, but we need to be able to defend at a basic level or it won't matter.
