    and why is it that the other team always feasts on them when playing us?

    Definitely an area we can work on

    "ever"
    "always"

    Do you always have to create such hyperbole in real life, too?

    Because we play at a slow pace...Harden prefers to operate in a half court setting, and he controls the ball the most

    The Greyhound is gone. Now our players are THICK. Too much meat equals bump and grind, slower pace.

    We are older team that likes to play slow and breakdown defenses 1on1. We do get clean looks this way but having fast breaks would help. In a way, we do have fast breaks with 3 pointers and Capela rim running with a pass. Saves a lot of energy to play defense.

    We don't hustle up the court, we walk it up.

    HARDEN in the open court gets undercut
    No call....a turnover is called

    Ego rushes and jumps and then thinks where should I pass

    Clint gets a bunch of buckets in transition. We shoot a lot of threes in transition.

    But both Chris Paul and Harden prefer to walk the ball up the court rather than push the pace.

    I think if Harden just Freight trained every fast break to the rim we would get a lot of points. He used to do that back in the day in OKC. But age catches up to you.

    Harden and CP3 need eight seconds to cross half the field

    3/5 of the starting lineup is either Undersized or not athletic.

    Cp3 is undersized and struggles to finish over size.

    Eric Gordon is a weak dribbler and finisher around the basket

    PJ tucker is slow as dirt
