Offensively, Desmond Bain has helped, but...

You need additional people who can sink a three because these other teams are building a wall to the rim that – Palo can't literally go through someone.

He can't.

As talented as he is, he can't get called for a charge.

And so it's very tough for him to get shots –

at the rim, in the half court, with the way the offense is structured.

They have little to no ball movement much of the time.

They have very little player movement most of the time in their half court offense.

And that is, I think, what the three of us are discussing here.

And yet, they could still be successful if their defense is elite, which it hasn't been, without Suggs and Franz, the two best defenders.

Yes, and I think they wait too long to get...

moving yeah that's right their initial lack of activity again we're only talking about the half court they wait too long to get going they're waiting for that matchup that mismatch okay and by the time they get going well they've exhausted a lot a large part of the shot clock and pace means many things to some it means number of possessions per game but i'm really talking about

speed with which you run your offense, how quickly do you get into your offense and then get into your first action?

Because once you get into your first action, that gives you a chance to get into a second, a third, a third, a second pass, a third pass, so on, so forth.

And there isn't enough of that.

And again,

Rudy Gay said on a recent broadcast on, I guess it's Prime.

I lose track of it now.

Yeah, I know.

And it was a great, great point that he would like to see the Magic get Paolo the ball as he's going to the basket.
