I've seen it said quite often that our offense wasn't our issue. Statistically that may be true but in a very real sense it hurt us more than stats would indicate.
In our losses we had serious problems with taking care of the ball and the Warriors devastated us off our turnovers and mistakes. For us to ever have a chance to beat them we can not allow them to force us into turning the ball over, and we absolutely can not gift them with unforced errors the way we did far too often in the finals.
The other way our offense let us down was with poor, low percentage shots that missed and turned into fast breaks and early offensive opportunities for them, with one or more of our players lagging behind. Our offense must be able to generate cleaner, higher percentage looks at the basket. When our offense was bogging down we ended up with a lot of very poor looks.
These things were carry overs from our extremely lazy regular season play. We did not play the regular season with purpose, we just stumbled our way through. This team needs to work on making itself into a well functioning machine during the regular season. Last year far too often we played like a bunch of bums waiting for Lebron or Kyrie to bail us out.
I really believe this team can beat the Warriors regardless of how we fill out the bottom end of the roster. But to do so we need to work on becoming more like the Spurs and the Warriors in making solid, fundamental smart team play into a habit and a norm.
