Condition still? I posted this on reddit.




The starters playing between 7 and 8 times worse in the 2nd half compared to the 1st half. The +/- mess is largly 2nd half, and not 1st half.

This was roughly Luka +/- over the two halfs before the Grizzlies game.

1st half -10
2nd half -80

Any other explanation than condition not being NBA level for the team in the first 20 games.

• Kidd defensive schemes demanding more condition? tied to shooting woes?
  
• Team collective being tired in the 2nd half?
  
• Luka + KP clearly condition issues and therefore performance dipping in 2nd halfs on both sides of the floor
  
• Defense falling off the cliff the longer the game goes
  

I think the injuries multiplied the problems and have a way bigger effect on the team. The team could use a 10 game run of being healthy.
Anyway if they would have just done the same in the 2nd half compared to 1st half, they would probably won quite a few more games. Despite the shooting.

1st quarter: -0.2
2nd quarter: -0.5
3rd quarter: -2.0
4th quarter: -1.7

Thats avg per game

Luka net rating quarter by quarter

1st: 0.8
2nd: -3.7
3rd: -10.5
4th: -10.9

The discrepancy in performance between 1st and 2nd half is legit insane ....
