    The problem is Luc, Ariza and Tucker are all stiffs on the offensive end. Our offense is so easy to guard.

    Amen. D'Antoni needs to think long-term here and pick his battles.

    Our roster being exposed for what it is unfortunately. Too many passengers.

    Brown is hopeless, Ariza mediocre, Tucker and Luc great role players but still limited in what they can do night in night out. Nene garbage so far this year.

    Anderson has been great

    That's my whole point. We all knew the durability issue with cp3 and Gordon, which is why we wanted to kept isiah Taylor Ron another primary ball handler you need at least 4 primary ball handlers who can facilitate the offense (in any system)and Morey ignored this issue

    Obviously If you take 2 of your 3 best players out of game, you get way easier to defend. No F'ing **** Ashley.

    This is an example of fatigue. It's early in the season, and it's the first, blatant game where we've just run out of energy.

    That, and we're very unhealthy tonight, considering injuries, healing injuries, illnesses, fatigue and Clint Capela's strength.

    I think MDA should pull Trevor and James out. They looked gassed.

    Yea ur absolutely right, but thats our system. I don't like it either. We don't rely on movement but on elite PG to create 3s (which i also dislike.)

    But we're in that direction now - there's no way we can turn the roster now.

    You guys getting on Bobby Brown but THERE IS NO SYSTEM. Bobby Brown is driving and shooting because there is nothing else to do. No one else will do anything. There are zero plays to get an easy shot.

    Nene is good in the post there is no play to get Nene a shot

    Anderson is hot form 3 There is one play to get someone a 3, but no one is using it to get Anderson shot.

    it's embarrassing.

    Once the Astros get a Hit, the Rockets will make a run. We'll be ok.

    Agree, but Isiah Taylor cant run this type of offense. Elite/All-Star type PG is the only way it works.

    They're a decent but boring team. They give the Rockets a good fight every time out. Something about sucking the Rockets right into their style of play: slow & boring and it's a slow, painful death.

    Memphis is playing their bench against our starters because they have a system. Those players aren't any better than the people we have on our bench.

    You are right they aren’t running any plays to get any easy shots
