    4 assists to 8 turnovers. That can't be a good ratio, right?

    Start Hartenstein , and bench House ,simple solution , 3 high effort guys in your starting line-up, maybe even replace Tucker with Green or Carroll does Dantoni have the humility to do this?! Probably not..don't tell me that this will effect Russ , he'll adjust...this s**t isn't working

    We were apparently taking advantage of the league not having scouting/film on our new position-less team.
    Our players were fresher and eager to prove this works.

    Fast forward now that there is scouting on how to beat the Rockets, a tired team switching and guarding bigger players and harden losing his lob-decoy Clint Capela.

    Harden is no longer an elite player this year. Hopefully he figures it out next year and this isn't the start of his regression

    Can you honestly say they were wrong? Their biggest question across the board was sustainability. We didn’t sustain ****.

    It cannot be overstated how disastrous that trade has gone

    You think I like being right? Hell no. I always knew Harden wasn’t a true winner though. I know it sucks to realize that.

    They caught lightning in a bottle and yes the shooting was better but this small ball thing just isn’t going to work with this group of players. Harden and Russ aren’t Steph and allay in terms of being pure shooters, we’ve got no one like DG not prime Iggy, this system was a terrible idea long term as we are seeing it didn't take long to figure out at all and there are no other options like GS had with true centers who played D and were physical like Looney and the bearded **** I can’t think of his name now lol
