    No, let's stop the season right now.

    No ****. Stop beating up strawmen.

    This isn't a circle jerk message board praising this team no matter what.

    We had a 5 game stretch that was just as bad, not to mention teams are playing at a faster pace and are scoring more threes, you gotta calm down.

    No I am not, I am concerned but Im not blaming the coaching and I'm not writing off our season. We have a new team that havent gelled and our worse defensively. Trades will have to be made, I just dont know how Morey can pull it off.

    The empirical evidence is sample size.

    You are smarter than this.

    I can say Hartenstein atleast besides bone headed move showed some hustle and some finishing skills. He has a lot to learn in terms of defense but could atleast set picks. Melo was atrocious through preseason and first 3 games. Shutting him off opens a spot for Clark or Chee which might benefit us in the long run.

    Just sad that we are wasting Harden's prime years. Now with CP3 locked in for years, this is not changing soon. We have peaked and barring a trade its all down hill.

    Sure is alot of pu**ies on this thread....

    Many are the same ones that said Harden and CP3 would never work....

    It was a back to back with a key starter out over some crazy b.s. the night before

    The Warriors lost with no back to back and at full strength. Sh*t happens

    You dont have reason too, not yet. We had a system in place that was rocked over the off season.

    It's all we have to go by unless you want this to be nothing but a circle jerk message board.

    Giving up the most pts in the paint so far is worthy of criticism. Just from a pure eye test, this team is a revolving door in the paint. It's a major cause for concern.

    Been here a long time. I support the team. There are issues with the team but if you know basketball, there are a handful of new players still learning their roles. So if you want to b**** and cry about it, i ain't stopping it.

    I can criticize the team and still be a fan.

    I will always support my team no matter what, but I’m a realist and this team as presently constructed has no chance at competing for a championship, unless they make a trade for butler.

    But no, Tucker is too important for this team, he’s untradeable!

    I agree. Ennis is not an NBA starter. He should be an energy guy off the bench.

    Every team has some role player personnel changes within the off-season. Our core was intack.

    I understood defense might become marginally worse from top 5-10 to middle of the pack but not last in the league. And yes, given Dantoni's history, even with the small sample size, I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt. He's an incompetent defensive coach and these first 3 games show why.

    Give the team time to gel and get their mindset on the same page. Probably would need a few games I reckoned
