I would say offense is just fine. Even today with all bad non Luka/KP performances they scored 111 points. Problem is on the other side of the court.
Not really. The offense isn't just fine. Sure they scored 111 but when the other team scores 126, you can win by trying to shut them down (how's that working for you so far) or you can score 130 to their 126, that works too.
Its also true that if you score more points, they take the ball out of the basket while you setup your defense more and they probably don't score 126 anyway. They score off your misses at a high efficiency. You don't have a great enough defense to beat these teams you're losing too. Sure you have to play defense but at the end you just need more points than the other guy, no matter how you do it.
If the offense were just fine it wouldn't consistently get shut down into cold spells when they need to hold a lead and win a game, would it?
