Has nothing to do with youth or pieces we're lacking we just didn't play defense tonight
Nah, it did. Our pieces don't mesh together well which is why he struggle with our overall consistency. We got guys like Dragic, Winslow, TJ and Bam who need to be running the floor, keeping the pace up, and attacking before defenses get set. We got guys like Whiteside, Olynyk, and now Wade who need the game to be slowed down because they just can't sustain a foot race.
Guys like Winslow, JJ, TJ, and now J-rich (With Wade's return) start struggling because they aren't getting defined roles because they're playing as stop gaps in a variety of positions, never getting to build a rhythm. J-Rich started showing his worth when his role got defined and he understood his purpose on the floor.
