    TT, when will they give up on this? Six games is enough, I don't want this to continue.

    Twin towers. Why isn't this obvious to some by now?

    I've been saying this for the longest. Now people finally noticed!

    Our coaching staff is ill-prepared for games, and this has happened since last year!

    We are an elite team in second halves but a lottery team in first halves.

    Not true. I will make a thread soon and show you it's not because of TT.

    TT are not that bad just inconsistent

    It's just not working out to have this constant experimentation.

    Lin is the starter... get a decent PF..... shore up on perimeter D
    Isn't that hard

    "slow" start?

    consistently losing 15 points in the 1st quarter is not a slow start, it is suicidal start

    i expect the team to have slow start but the most surprising is the non defense in the first quarter.


    you would expect opponent would score less against your team when you're team have Asik and Howard but that's not the case. it's the opposite. team scoring at will left and right.

    I am seriously questioning the chemistry on the coaching staff as well....
    and some in the management....

    How can you draft a guy like Royce White?
    How are you that bad at setting up line ups.... and getting the right talent to play together?

    Twin Towers only work when you have 2 complete players.....neither Howard or Asik are complete.

    BTW - DMo is a gifted offensive tower too...he is as big as Asik...start him.

    That TT would work.

    Can't believe they can just approve of losing games just to keep Asik happy or raise his trade stock

    But, but but…. The Rockets used Ralph and Hakeem back in the day, and it worked.
