10 Spoiler a.) Jason Terry defending anybody. Terrible. b.) Jason Terry defending the initiator. Worse than terrible. 9. Spoiler Dwight posting up on the left block. He misses the opponent guard sneaking baseline on him constantly or he turns and the help comes from his left and he never sees it for some reason. Gets stripped all the time. He's much more effective on the right block going left. But he keeps working that left block. Gag. 8. Spoiler Having to hear Ding Dong Clyde calling for Dwight to "get more post touches" when Dwight finally drops one in after stumbling/fumbling away the prior two possessions. Just dumb. Shut up Clyde. 7. Spoiler DMo pumping 3-balls without his feet set and no knee bend. He's probably 0 for the season on those shots. Boy if you can't set your feet, square, and bend, don't shoot please. 6. Spoiler That one game about every two to three weeks when the league office gets their 50th complaint from all the other teams about all the foul calls Harden gets so they tell the officials not to call fouls against Harden's defenders. Just pencil in a "L" for that one. It's ridiculous how regular this happens. 5. Spoiler Trevor Ariza dribbling the basketball. Why? Only bad things happen when he puts the ball on the wood. Please stop it already. 4. Spoiler Dwight at the free throw line. Recurring bouts of sphincteritis ensue. Ugh. If he gets to the line a dozen or so times by the end of the game you've got gastritis from all the air intake. 3. Spoiler Tarik Black defending the post in crunch time. It's like watching a beagle fighting a pit bull. The results are inevitable. Wished we could hit fast forward on the live feed on those possessions. Looking forward to JSmoove eliminating this one altogether. 2. Spoiler Pat Beverley dribbling the basketball around trying to act like he's a point guard or something. He's like a blind hummingbird out there. Just a lot of herky jerky movement that takes him in circles going nowhere....but he sure finds plenty of stuff to run into while he's doing it. 1. Spoiler McHale playing the wrong combination of players together. For instance, giving Harden a blow and running JET and Nick Johnson out there together and leaving Canaan glued to the bench. It makes our half-court offense just terribly inefficient with all the turnovers and bad shots. Or...playing Nick Johnson (a rookie second rounder) and Tarik Black (an undrafted rookie) together for extended minutes. Makes no sense. Two raw rookies together. We get toasted every time. Or McHale running Shved out there to handle and proclaiming him in the rotation when the guy hasn't been with the team for a week nor barely played while leaving more experienced and proven players on the bench. Just all Mchale's stupid decisions basically that you know are going to come back and bite us in the butt at some point in the playoffs just like they did last year. It's like watching a train wreck coming in slow motion. I hate that. Something needs to change there in Mchale's noggin. Gotta get that loose screw snugged down somehow. This team is too talented and Harden is playing too good for this season to be wasted on poor game decisions by coach.

Shut up. But I actually completely agree with the points about Bev trying to run the offense. It makes cringe every time because more often than not you can count on that possession being wasted unless Harden bails us out or someone makes a really tough 3 pointer. It's painfully obvious how much this team needs an upgrade at the PG spot more than anything else.
