Something interesting I've noticed about this team

Post by BloopOracle »

I know it's early but this team seems like it doesn't play down to the level of competition at all, provided we stay healthy this team should win a HUGE percentage of games against teams we should beat this season

excellent observation. That is one of the most impressive things about this team right now. In the past we have seen this team develop leads, and then stop playing effectively as a team, and lose the leads. This team doesn't seem to have that mindset.

One thing I've notice is there ability to claw back. I thought during the clipper game there was about 3 times were I thought they were gonna roll over but they kept fighting. I also remember listening to the clevaland game that was in Cleveland I turned in the begging of the 3rd because thought they were done. Woke up read the paper the next day sure enough the pulled it within one.

Pulled within one and actually should have won that game. Barea lost his dribble on the last play of the game. If he hadn't, he had a pretty clear drive for the win OR he had an easy dropoff to D-Will for the layup. Instead, Love's GW three rimmed out and he said he thought it was good. I'm fine with each loss we have except the Warriors one, but we'll get them back later.

I think the short rotation is partially responsible in that we don't have players on the floor that are learning the system or the NBA game. The players that are seeing significant minutes are all veterans who Adelman can trust, they may not always be hitting their shots, but they're always focused on both ends and generally run the offense as designed. The majority of the opposing teams offensive runs have come with the more inconsistent, inexperiences, or just plain stupid players on the floor!
