Sadly, we are a flawed team.
We're great when we play perfect, but playing perfectly is not always feasible.
We are missing pure shooters.
We are missing quality passers.
We are missing cutters.

All I have left is that they've been incredibly resilient since February.
The biggest problem is that there is literally no one you can count on to show up every game. Robert has been the closest and you never know how his knee will be. Tatum, Brown, Horford, Smart, White, PP, and Grant all disappear for long periods or even whole games.

But we are so close. What will Brad do?

Find a floor general. How many times do we have to watch our offense bog down at the end of games before we recognize and admit we have a problem getting good shots when the opposing D clamps down. It's almost embarrassing at this point. Smart can't turn the corner on anybody. Jaylen gets stripped way too often. Same with Tatum. White won't shoot unless he's been hot all game. Those are our four main initiators.
We need either a new offense, some new players, or both.

I don't necessarily believe we'll win it all, but am grateful we're gonna have a Game 6 NBA Finals game in Boston considering I wasn't sure how we'd recover after the injury/chemistry-disaster of the Hayward/Hoford/Kyrie team. Watching the Warriors offense makes me sad when watching our inept offense - but, I know it's just more exposed because of the caliber of our opponent. Agree with floor general, but it's also clear our depth is lacking. What would you rather have? A 7-man rotation with White & GWill or 8-man rotation with GPII, Poole, and Looney?

Was just going to say that RunRondo. I bet this summer, Brad's major goal will be to improve the bench (quality depth and not just quantity).
Last year we messed around with Jabari Parker, Enes Kanter, Juancho Hernangomez, Dennis Schroder, Joe Johnson, and a whole lot more. Only Josh Richardson was worth holding onto, but Derrick White fit us better.
I think our brass learned what type of guys, what characteristics, what skill sets works best with this team.
Brad cannot waste a year, he has to strengthen us this summer so that we'll be right back in the Finals next year.
