Pretty fair assessment.

I look at our offense as mainly needing some "fine-tuning". if you look at the stats and metrics, they still look pretty darn great:
[LIST]
[*]52% FG%, 38% 3pt, 126 assists on 188 made FGs (67%), 1.85:1 Ast/TO ratio. These all are similar/better than last years team (and yes, I know sample size is small and level of competition for the sample is low)
[*]We are getting a ton of great 3pt looks even though our cutting/PnR offense is not even close to clicking yet...but we're seeing some signs
[/LIST]

Most import for short-term turnaround is gonna be shoring up the defense. I think this happens with a combination of personnel changes/minutes allotted tweaks, maybe some different approaches, and practice, practice, practice

It's year #7 of the Hurley era. One thing that we can be comfortable saying is that his teams have always gotten better as the season progresses, There's no reason to expect anything different this year.

The biggest difference is we're coming off back-to-back titles and a generationally-talented team with unrealistically high expectations.
