    at the end of 3 quarters the FT disparity was 19-5. no team can overcome this kind of crap on the road. that being said, this roster construction and this coaching staff have so many holes i'm ready to just tank the rest of the season anyways. this organization is going absolutely nowhere and it all starts with the MFer at the top

    This is where coaching comes in. MDA has not adjusted at all when his plan A of “Harden score tons of points” isn’t working.

    2016, first half of 2019, now 2020... it's amazing this type of thing has happened lately. Clearly not playing up to potential.

    I halfway agree. Our wing depth was obviously much better in 2018, but the remaining pieces are the same. We even have a better backup PG than we did back then.

    Capela
    Tucker
    Gordon
    Rivers
    House

    There's no reason why these guys can't go out and play defense every night. Capela defense two years ago was solid to very good. This year he's a ghost.

    You last point is by far most important. If this team came correct this season with a proper attitude, was held accountable and approached every game like professionals, they'd be a 60 win team. Maybe not 65 but still very good. This roster isn't great but it's better than what they're showing, by a lot.

    Wing depth variance is the key. There is a huge difference between lockdown rotation of Ariza/Luc/Tucker vs. Tucker/House/Thabo.

    HUGE.

    And even length/rebounding/offensive spacing of McLemore vs. Green is understated.

    Expectations not realistic.

    Ugh, sucks that Doncic is hurt. Now it's just an opportunity for a bad loss, can't be a good win anymore. Lame.

    If Tim Hardaway Jr. plays he will put up Luka type numbers. Carlisle will easily outcoach Dantoni too.

    Poor Luka. Maybe you shouldn't try to be Harden. It's hard on your ankles.

    Well, Snyder outcoached Carlisle on Saturday, and MDA wildly outcoached Snyder on Monday.

    Rockets open as a 5 point pick over Dallas tomorrow night. How is that possible? Rockets play a good game, then lose to bad teams. This is the most inconsistent team in the NBA. Dallas all ready has beat Rockets. If you like your money don't give Dallas 5 points tomorrow.

    Harden is still grieving due to Kobe.
