This franchise has lacked a physical game, for many of the 20 seasons or so, I've been following..
Meaning... when our 'skill' is not effective, we don't have an alternative.. which is winning the possession game with rebounds, making the game ugly through physicality, stopping the team with good 1:1 defense.
We don't build that option into the roster, typically.
When we had that option and a great player.. we won a lot of games (I think that was in 2011).
We build with skill and players that make the right decision. Does not work against every opponent every night... it can work a lot, but just not tonight, and not against this opponent... they are too strong right now for us.
