or chuck up a dumbass 3 with 18 seconds on the clock. 21 assists with 4 turnovers is exactly what they need. they're still not good enough though and I can't quite pinpoint why. kuminga and moody still not turning a corner maybe? or everyone else plateaued while steph kept getting better? rip klays tendons

it's because they don't have enough size and smart passing to actually run their motion offense. the only lineups with enough passing+shooting to run it are tiny or can't defend. they don't have a roll man that can actually finish (their best one might be the rookie TJD).

Kuminga's been way better but is also kind of a knucklehead. moody is really good but can't really guard 1 on 1 because he's not strong enough yet. he doesn't fall down constantly anymore though! I think it's more of a thing where 25 year old moody is gonna be really good but he just kinda needs to mature physically (or the strength training staff sucks)

they have lineups that will give most teams problems but will probably always struggle against LA if AD is healthy. but steph gives them probably the best weapon against Jokic in the league

Find a mature coach that instills fundamentals in the pre-season then sticks with their structure until the players grow into their roles/assignments.

Like achievably with Dame still on the floor they cannot play Beasley, and honestly probably shouldn't be giving a lot of minutes to Crowder.

They do actually kinda miss Grayson Allen and Jevon Carter in this situation

For the warriors, you typically only get to small or slow and the warriors are mostly both. They are good at everything else but I think that's going to be an Achilles heel.

For the Bucks yeah their backcourt is bad defensively but they'll round out better over time. (Don't give in to October haterisms)
