    Yes they are. They have a really good big rotation.

    That said, Rockets have been prone to games like this before. People act like we didn't have games where teams lit us with Ariza.

    Tucker can't guard Randle, Ennis can't guard Mirotic and Capela DEFINITELY can't guard Davis.

    Meanwhile CP and Harden are pulling up for long 3's while they have bigs on them lmao.

    He is not going to improve his defensive awareness after 15 years in the league.

    Wishful thinking.

    Nenê where are you —> Capela on Davis just see what happens. Let Clark just stick to Davis. The answer is on our bench—> Coach needs to reinforce that we are a really great team and then make a few adjustments. Remember who and what we are. Believe in ourselves.

    Ariza and Luc wouldn't be making a difference so far . Ennis and MCW have been playing fine INDIVIDUAL D .

    The problem is the team D and Clint capela looks high .

    Chauncey the only person to allude to the fact that we lost Biglydik.

    We need time for our defense to come together as a unit.

    As others have mentioned, our front court is anemic right now. Capela looks bad right now and we currently have no other bigs behind him. All N.O. has to do is put up a shot and crash the boards.

    their rotations would be on point so they would be making a difference. granted its the 1st game but theirs a glaring difference bw playing with guys who understand what to do defensively and those who dont as a team

    Capella can't guard everyone! Ariza is missed!

    I can’t believe how bad we look. We’ll see if the 2nd half gets better but this is rough.

    Is Carmelo Anthony worse than Ryan Anderson on defense? I mean I think he might be. If MDA couldn't play Ryno because he was a defensive liability, why can he play melo?
