Let's hope it is..... Morey to Harden: Be a better defensive leader. It starts with you. Your effort defensively will trickle down to your teammates. They will follow your lead, the example you set.
I really wonder what is being said behind closed doors, but as long as we accept mediocrity as a team, we will continue to slip.

We have the same roster as last season, and we adding Ty Lawson and Thornton, but we still lose games. What the hell with this team. I blame all this on the coach. This coach can't make anyone be better.
I have the complete transcript: Morey: James, your defense is terrible, you need to be a better leader. Harden: Daryl, your decisions have been terrible, you need to implement a real system and hire good coaches. Morey: I see I see, we both f***ed up bad this year. Listen, my job is on the line and you need to keep your reputation as an elite basketball player, so let's just agree to keep doing the same thing and deflect criticism away from each other. The last thing we want is to be accountable for our actions. If you need help on PR-spin, I'm your man. Harden: I agree, good talk.
Meh who cares at this point. Players show no interest in defensive effort, coaches show no interest in a system, fans show no interest period.
cant wait to see that nba level defensive scheme aka switch everything or the defense packing the paint at the slightest dribble, leaving 2 guys wide open for three. i love that one and of course nene popped dwight's shoulder. not bad, good stuff going on.
