Doing two things here.
1) Back to the O vs. D conversation
2) Bringing this from another, similar thread.
I think there's hope on both. There were plenty of sequences where we had great ball movement, but it appeared that we lacked confidence to see the play through... as in penetrate the lane. That's where the lack of game experience really hurts this team. Also there were several sequences where even DD stopped the flow. I suspect this is likely because he felt he had to "make a play". Finally, X, inside out...inside out!
On D, I think we will get better. However, we will always have issues with big, physical teams. Add another 20 lbs of muscle on Kostas, and maybe next year. CAG seems to pull a player for defensive lapses quicker than on the O, I expect that message to sink in.
