re: Fast Paced Offense?

Think our offense has been very fast-paced. Can recall plenty of shots very early in the shot clock.

Past that, drawing sweeping conclusions from 2 games with .5 Jrue, no Tyreke, no Asik, no QPon, and no Cole seems hasty. The first 1.5 games were an absolute train wreck, but the defense started to figure things out in the 2nd half vs. Portland and the offense showed some signs of life as well. 2.4% of our season is over.

Ish can get wherever he wants and is a solid passer, but he's not really a threat to score and other teams know it (see career percentages). Dante is unlikely to take a shot early in the shot clock, so creating an opp for him early is usually wasted. Kendrick Perkins' efficiency has been nothing short of a miracle, but screening is all he offers.

Despite all the things listed above that detract from pace, we've still managed to squeeze out a lot of possessions in two games. The pace is there.
