Also, the increased movement Kidd is asking for has some of them not knowing where to be at a certain point, which leads to confusion and bad shots.
This is an interesting one. Brian suggested the bolded language as the intuitive conclusion. However, when Mark actually studied the data, he discovered that the team really is generating a ton of good looks, and opponents would be paying for overloading Luka if his teammates could only make their shots. I can get a visceral sense of this when I get increasingly frustrated with every missed unguarded shot.
Having said that, there are still many instances when the spacing is off and the guys are clearly confused about where they are supposed to be, as you point out. The podders hope that this is just an early-season problem, as guys are learning the new sets and, in some cases, adjusting to different roles.
