This was as close to a perfect game as you can find. Richardson has really stepped up offensively in recent weeks. DFS having COVID; being apart from his pregnant wife; it could certainly mess with my head at work. Maybe sometimes there are simply explanations for slumps we don´t see.
Ultimately we still have the same 2-3 problem areas.
We need a 2nd playmaker/creator. We need to consolidate that backup (PF)/C situation and we probably need another shooter.
There is nothing wrong with Luka, THJ, Richardson, Porzingis, DFS, Brunson, Kleber as core pieces. It´s just not enough in today´s NBA.
This is clearly the moment, where years of piss-poor asset management comes back to bite us in the a**, because we´ll only have one shot at this....with a cheap gun.
