Or you know...a healthy starting center.

Bi and Scottie went off and we still got smoked. Not an offensive issue tonight

this obsession with a "1A" needs to stop. If you give up 140 points every night, you're going to lose.

I keep seeing posts about the offense... the defense is far and away our biggest issue. It's really not close

Scottie and Ingram are scoring fine. The problem is defense and lack of size...

We need number of legit NBA level bigs (PF/C) besides a starting C. This has been evident for last few years especially with the huge drop-off whenever Poeltl goes missing. But this FO has refused to address this problem and at times even actively avoided opportunities to address the need.

And we have that. CMB and Barnes say hello.
But you're working without your starting center vs multiple teams with a few good/great bigs.
It's not rocket science.

LOL good luck with that. That's the exact kind of mindset that's got this team into the trouble it is in now.

Good thing you're not a doctor. You're diagnosing abilities absolutely suck.

Bi is legit number 1 but we really need big.

Rebounding was the issue tonight...didn't watch, but the box score tells you that.

We need functional PG and C play, and a defensive scheme that matches the actual talent we have.
Scoring has not been a problem. If anything, Scottie has really impressed in that regard. With passable defense this team is where most ppl expected prior to the season.

He really isn't, but not every team gets to have a legit number 1.
He's not the problem right now, but he would be if we wanted to make noise in the playoffs.

Yep, biggest issue, scoring is not the problem. Completely opposite over last few years of Darko.

This is where I sit as well. A legit 2 way starting PG. A legit starting C & legit backup C. Probably a new coach as well.
I think the rest of the talent is fine for now.
There's your shopping list Bobby. Work that magic. 1st order of business is to.find a decent C. 2nd order of business is to find the next Lowry.

I think he comfortably fits the definition. One of the key criteria is being able to truly score at all 3 levels and having an offensive game that holds up in crunch time AND with high volume. He checks those boxes.
I do agree he's not the problem (or that the offence in general isn't).

The defence has been abysmal but if you’re not going to play defence you should at least be scoring at high efficiency. If you watch the game there’s no flow to our offence, it’s just guys taking turns trying to do something.
An offensive hub would score efficiently for themselves and also be able to create easy looks for other players. If you’re only going to play on one side of the ball you might as well play efficiently.
