The Kings came out this year with a new look and started pushing the ball after a defensive rebound, out of bounds play or even on made baskets. We used our youth to run some teams into the ground. We shot the 3 ball well and got plenty of fastbreak layups. We scored 125 routinely and sometimes over 140.
Now we are not sneaking up on anyone. The Kings' are playing better defense, but having trouble getting much more than 100 points in the last 10 games. Sometimes they are in the 90s. Our shooting percentages are down. We get fewer points in the paint, and we are not winning the fast break battle like before. We turn the ball over more now.
We out rebounded some teams at the beginning of the year, but usually can't do that now.
Besides teams figuring out how to play better defense agains the Kings' style, what do you think the reasons are for such a drop in point production per game?
