Yeah....it's prolly more truth to this than I'd wish were the case...at the very least, this ain't a team that's gonna win many games just off of pure talent on the floor...they're gonna have to execute flawlessly...cause they're not getting anything easy out there...no easy buckets...not forcing turnovers which means no fast break points..
dwight hasn't really regained his explosiveness yet, don't know if it's just an issue of him simply working himself back into game shape or whatever,...offensively he's solid despite that but defenisvely he hasn't been the force he's known for...and that also basically means there's zero athleticism on the entire team at the moment...
he didn't look particularly hot the couple game he was out there, but Nash being injured means they have no point guard...it leaves kobe trying to do all the playmaking and he's turning the ball over way too much so far.....
we have no 3 point shooters...Meeks was brought in for just that purpose, and finds himself getting DNP-CD's in favor of giving Metta World Peace most of the minutes at back up SG ...
speaking of the bench, along with meeks, Jamison was supposed to be the big acquisition to shore up scoring from the reserves..and he's doing jack shyt...the bench is abysmal...the starters were like +5 tonight...but the bench -14...a 34 year old kobe can't play the whole fukking game....
pau, don't even get me started....I just pray to whatever gods may be every night that his trade value hasn't fallen so low as to effectively make him untradeable...the front office knew it was time to cash out on him two seasons ago, caught the worst case of front office transactional blue balls maybe in recorded history when they completed the pau/odom for CP3 trade only to have it vetoed in that whole fiasco...and likely got spoiled because of it, wanting too much from other potential moves that were on the table last year (the josh smith trade that fell apart because they wanted another piece )
Basically...bad coaching aside (and it's been bad), i've seen little thus far...barring dwight getting stronger throughout the season and returning to DPOY form...that leads me to believe this is a championship quality squad right now
props on being honest
