Unbelievable stat I heard from Andrew Schlect on the Athletic NBA Show. Youth and inexperience personified.

Link here for first half stats, and here for second half stats.

    We’ve trailed once at half, and it was by 2 or 3. Every game with the exception of two so far follows the same script: get out to a nice lead at the half, then completely forget how to play basketball in the 2nd. Just a matter of whether or not they fully complete the collapse or hang on.

    Spacing is just non-existent, especially with Gary having been out. Teams pack the paint on Paolo and Franz and allow anyone to shoot.

    All that said, it’s honestly a pretty ideal start to the season — the team’s issues are glaring and will necessitate a fix sometime in the not-too-distant future, and yet they’re above .500.
