    Oh man, I hope so. I want to see us click.

    I think it takes dedication to defense as a team and taking good shots.

    This is beyond embarrassing....... you can lose to any team..... it’s then NBA...... but to be this horrible on defense is a damn disgrace....... I knew when we didn’t replace Bzedelik we were doomed........ D’Antoni without a D Coordinator is this team right here........ has nothin to do with Ariza..... this is MDA teams over the years with no D coordinator

    No way in hell I would let Ennis, Tucker, and Capela start next half. 71 points...y'all supposed to be defensive specialists.

    I CAN'T TELL.

    I really don't care how we look game 1, if we can look great game 82 and beyond.... But we look AWFUL. Of course, I said that the horrid 2015-2016 season.

    The Rockets have bigs but MDA will continue to play small ball even when it ain’t working.

    Pelicans already proved in the Playoffs that they are a force without Boogie.

    We did decently against them, last year. And they don't even have Cousins anymore.

    The Pelicans bigs are just abusing the Rockets. Killing the defensive rotations, sticking 3s, defending on the perimeter...

    It’s not even that... they are so slow on defense. They’re a step behind on everything.

    I'm not worried yet . But if we don't make some adjustments and play with more force I'll start to think to .

    We let them bully us around . Sure , they've got a few big guys ... but we need to be stronger and more athletic

    Nah.... we are a 56 win team with “ok” health. The West is just really, really good... better than last year. Only going to be a few games separating everyone.

    Pelicans shooting 61%...enough said. We better come out with some energy in the second half.
