Usually when you’re about a quarter of the way through the season (20-25 games in a normal year) you start to have a sense of what a team’s identity is. Or at least what a coach is trying to implement and what adjustments David Quinn would need to make. You’ll also have enough sample size to start culling through data and analyzing the team at a granular level.
Obviously this year that number of games is like 40% the season. That’s way too late to start talking about tactical shifts. Ultimately, we need to start drawing some conclusions on what’s working, what isn’t, and hope that Quinn makes the necessary adjustments.
