This team might be even worse than I thought. The centers are atrocious and dooling has no clue how to run the offense. And what is wrong with pierce?
Pierce is going through whatever Odom was going through to start the season . . . out of shape, out of rhythm, etc. He'll get there, I'm sure, unless his injury is lingering (or he picks up another injury).
As for the centers, I think we just have to accept that we're going to get very, very little from that position this season, barring some major trade. I think that's going to be the major bar to this team going anywhere in the post-season, honestly. No identity or presence in the paint at all.
I'm okay with Dooling. We could do better for a backup pg, but we could do worse, too. We really need the rest of our bench -- with the exception of Bass -- to be much more productive and reliable, though.
There's just no chemistry or consistency among the bench guys. Dooling is a net zero for the team, I think, which is fine, but Bass is probably the only guy on the bench who is regularly a net positive. That's a huge problem.
