But, stepping back, it is 100% expected that we'd struggle in this game. We'll look really good against bad defenses, but a new offense will struggle against what was the 2nd best defense in the league that only got better in the offseason.
This experiment may fail in the end, but we won't know until ASB at the earliest.

Yup on all of it.
Definitely looked hesitant after they scored consecutively and tied us at 10-10. As it went along it just got worse. They have been burned in big moments and that takes a toll. Last night was also another big moment even though it was 1 of 81 games. They had the pressure of a smoking preseason preseason renewed vibes and better chemistry. They knew it was Kidd and the 37 coaches debut here too. It really a lot to live up to.
We aren't going to be able to have any credibility to claim it's a fail for a cpl months.
It's really on the players for laying that egg though IMO. There were plenty of missed open shots that would have kept it closer we just didn't play well. When Luka and KP both sht the bed the team is gonna get blasted.
