Last year we had three elite shooters, currently we have none. Seth is gone, KP is injured, and Tim is back to being Tim. There were so many missed wide open shots by Tim that you can't credit to the opposition defense.
We currently can't defend the rim or end opposition possessions by collecting the defensive rebounds, because a team with Powell at center as the lone big body is fundamentally crippled.
The difference between a win and a loss is missing a couple of easy shots, and then giving up a couple of easy field goals on the other end.
It is acceptable to be not so good without your two All-NBA caliber players. People may get frustrated because they assume this team should be good enough with Luka and consider KP as a cherry on top, but KP is essential for this team. We can cover for Luka's production here and there, but we can't make up for what KP's presence on the floor brings. He is our Anthony Davis.
