Rhythm is a key with players of this team. Watching the game, A.I. barely has any rhythm because he is one of those players that is so use to playing a long time before he sits down for rest and he's sitting down more likely he has his whole career so that can throw him off his rhythm. But as one, the team doesn't look "well-oiled machine" like they should. We have to remember that we don't play an 82 game season and we don't have to practice and use to a new coach, players, and system. It's only been 16 games and we are 10-6. I can see if it was after the all-star break and were playing like we are now. We all need to relax and wait how this team is going to pull it together. Even if they don't get to the Finals again this year, we know that more change is coming. I don't think we are manufacturing excuses, they are telling what they see and if rhythm is what they know that is not there, then they are going to be let it be known that is not there and will come as time goes on.
