Last year we were 10th in offense, 23rd in defense (if I'm recalling correctly). Went back and watched the Miami game toward the end of the season (because THT, Ochai, Markannen, and Olynyk all started that night -- one of the few times all were in the lineup toward the end of the year). THT wasn't great that game; nevertheless, it seemed like we somehow moved the ball/produced good shots fairly well against a good defensive team. It just seemed that Hardy's offense produces good shots in spite of individual playmaking limitations (which seemed to be a theme of the whole season).
So we've all (myself included) been saying that what we really need now is a playmaker/distributor. But I'm wondering whether it's more likely that our problem this year (without further moves) is still likely to be good offense and poor defense.
Or are we on the path to real improvement already on the defensive end?
