    They are better without Cousins. They play super fast now. Playing fast is better for good teams. The Pelicans are able to exploit bad defensive rotations right now. The faster they play the more opportunities to exploit.

    Ariza and Moute knew where to be at all times and were great at making rotations...Bzdelik bounced at the last minute and we look clueless right now

    last thing we need is defensive slippage when going up against GS...more offense isn’t the answer

    Maybe the Rockets have to sacrifice the home opener so the Astros can win game 4? ( Currently my theory is not looking good according to the Astros score)

    Melo is absolutely clueless on defense. Watch how he loses his man and gives up basket.

    Playing Melo + Harden together on defense = Suicide.

    Melo sucks at rotations, and if u leave him in there when he’s in foul trouble he won’t even try to contest

    With the defense looking this bad, we really aren't going to play Gary Clark...one of the best defenders in college history????

    Im confused.

    unless melo improves on his awareness this is what the defense is going to look like if he gets significant minutes together
