We have no answer for Shai either.  He is really good.  Seems to be getting into the lane very easily though.

Team defense (rotations, close outs, help) isn´t great when all guys are healthy. Today it is all time bad. Feels like lineups that feature guys that wouldn´t be in the rotation simply lack chemistry and reps.
I guess some would call it rookie mistakes. Forcing players away from the help defender. Giving up middle penetration. Miscommunication in the pick and roll. Not knowing when to switch, go over/under, hedge...Problem is that it´s not a rookie only thing (even though the Wright/Hardy stretch in the 2nd quarter was by far the worst).

Same for the offense. Spacing is off. Execution of set plays is off. Absolutely no chemistry. Resulting in broken plays and empty possessions with terrible shots against a late clock.
