It just feels like we are constantly patching holes in a sinking ship. Fix or address one leak, another 2 sprout up. I guess I’m still holding out hope that they are coasting a bit. I still feel like we have really good pieces but no one knows where they fit in.

There was this game against Jazz when Book didn't play and the team had great ball movement, 37 assists IIRC. With him they seem to fall into the trap of thinking ISO ball is good enough. A lot of great players didn't win anything before a great coach made them fit into a proper system. This could be very well the case here too.

We also had games against Jazz this season where we had 35 and 36 assists, both with Book playing.

Yeah you can still rack up assists without much player movement, like the Mavs for example, but that guy Luka is much more dependable in this role when the stakes are high. Jazz game was just an example of the most fun game to watch this season. With a playmaking C in Nurk on the floor I'd still like our offense to look more like Kings/Nuggets/Warriors than the Mavs one with everybody feeling more involved. Also in KD at C mins there is no excuse to not move the ball and take advantage of mismatches against players like Saric/Gafford and shoot more 3s.
