    We already play poor defense when we have our stars, didn't expect anything better from our 3rd stringers.

    If Morey doesn't address our defensive issues before deadline, then it really means we're not all-in on winning anymore.

    I definitely dont think hes to blame for everything, but the same nonsense happens no matter who's on the court, so it's also difficult to defend him.

    Mike had EG out there to start the 4th knowing he had a minutes restriction. EG could have been the Rockets closer..

    Really nothing to judge here. At least Gordon came back. Too bad at least one of the big 3 didn’t play because this was an easy W.

    Literally a hundred million in salary in 3 guys not playing though. I'm still proud of these guys. They showed they can play some minutes for us but they aren't ready for crunch time.

    Our guys were fine. Lonzo just had a career night. I couldnt imagine him doing that again.

    A good showing. Attention to details on some things. Hopefully build more confidence in the guys.

    There is cause for concern. Check out our opponents points per game average and then compare it to every other playoff team in both conferences (we’re dead last).

    Defense collapsed. Coaching was non existent during that Moore stretch.

    We didn’t have any busy winning this game. Guess we proved it. Nice to see Gordon coming back and stroking it. Hartenstein and Clemons earned more minutes. Almost forgot Clark, who played well. 3 quarters of fun!

    I took the bullet in fantasy basketball and cursed josh hart. I needed to hang on to points so thinking oh well he averages 21 vs houston this year, I pick him up. Well I got 0 and he missed FTs and literally screwed me this week. I have to watch a loss and dont even benefit.

    So MDA decides to rest Westbrook even though we had no Harden and Capela? Great idea, coach!

    Also, if this doesn't prove it to the Harden haters that he needs to have the ball for us to win most nights, I don't know what else to say. Our depth literally sucks so badly.

    Im hoping Dantoni plays Hartenstein more after this, he proved he belongs as a back up for this game. He should have been in a long time ago, him and Clark, Mike has to play them. Gordon looked really good too, that was great.

    He doesn't do himself any favors. It's his job to put the team in the best position to win. Sometimes he does it, sometimes he doesn't.
