They are out of flow and rhythm. Offence is stagnant.

We do not look like a team that should be ranked ahead of Boston so far.

Because they are not moving enough around to get open. Only yaks screen are creating a little bit of space to operate at all.

Essentially, everybody is waiting for the ball, but dont bring themselves in a good position.

It's their first game with all the starters, it might take some time.

I’m sure they must have practiced before this game. Offensive flow looks ass

With the schedule being hard the 1st 20 games, they might not have the time.

Offense looked better in all the games in which Scottie and Ingram didn't share the floor.

Scottie to the bench so lets how this plays out now...

I remember reading about Dwight comparisons and I can definitely see them. If only he was as good though in his role. It's sucks tbh, I hope he can turn it around for our teams sake or we find some good deal for us.
