Offense isn't the problem..

Yes the fact that we are 26th in the league in points allowed is no worry.. In preseason and regular..

Yes it isnt. Sample size is too small. Know who else is tied with us at 26th? Golden State..the team whom you've mentioned has Draymond Green, a rim protector and rebounder.

Knee jerk reactions aren't going to solve anything because if they did, we'd have blown up this team every single time we had a 2 game losing streak... lol..

FYI last year we started off the season 1-3..worse than this year. Things can turn around very quickly, it just needs a chance to find its footing.

We have not yet had the whole roster available to play at the same time. We started with Smart and Olynyk both out for the first 3 games. When Smart came back both Horford and Crowder went out. So now we may get Olynyk back and they are saying that Jae and Al may be back on Wednesday. It will take a couple of games to get all on the same page. I'd say another week and then we can talk about what needs fixed.

The problem with all of that rationalization is the FACT that we don't rebound well.. That is most of the defensive issues.. As I stated our 2 point fg % is good.. But our 3 point fg% and rebounding is leading to being in the dregs of points scored..

My belief is that rebounds are kicked out to open three point shooters... Plus when you are asking your guards to rebound because the forwards can't : whose covering their man!

Marcus Smart had a -22... 😞... Sounds like he should be covering his man instead of rebounding..

And it ain't getting better.. Al is a 7.5 rebounder.. low for his position.. Amir had 4-5 rebounds in 35 minutes... Jae isn't a great rebounder..
