    Melo needs to start for Ennis. This team hurts to watch compared to last season.

    I think this is a common misconception amongst the first 2 games.

    The lakers and pelicans are 2 of the highest paced teams.

    It's more about efficiency, which so far this year hasn't been great

    Doesn’t seem like capela has added to
    His game over the summer

    I’m losing my mind watching this **** game. Everything is just so sloppy compared to last year. I don’t get it.

    It dosen't seem like the team has an identity, unlike last year. What happen to the pick in roll offense with with iso ball and the hard defense?

    Early thought Harden not trying on defense not switching right, it’s like he got his mvp and is content

    It's embarrassing to have your team this unprepared .

    No one knows were to be on either end of the floor .

    If it wasn't for the brilliance and knowledge of Paul and Harden we would be getting blown out again

    Not in the first half. 24 points in the first half is solid--no matter when you score.

    But if you disagree with me, I guess the only reasonable conclusion is I know nothing about bball

    I know I've been negative about Melo, but man am I rooting for him to get hot from 3.

    Harden already gave up on this season, he knows we can't beat the Warriors so he's just dialing it in after he won his MVP.


    This season so far giving off that McHale got fired season vibes.

    Melo is washed. Capela since adding the Schroeder hair patch has also added Schroeder’s inability to make layups.
