    They aren't kneejerk reactions, they're valid concerns.

    We were the youngest team in the league last year. It allowed us to... excuse our defensive liabilities. Blame it on the youth.

    We're (supposedly) a CHAMPIONSHIP contender this year. We CAN'T give awful teams wide open looks every time down the floor. We can't come out playing flat and uninspired. Harden is the Captain of this team, yet he's by far the laziest guy on the court. We will get smoked in the playoffs if we don't iron out these wrinkles fast.

    TBH knee-jerking about knee-jerking is just as bad and screams so much of insecurity lol.

    On one hand you have fans reacting emotionally about the game. That's normal, that's what people do when you're at the game live.

    On the other hand, you have fans reacting emotionally about other people's reactions and "opinions" as if they can be right or wrong.

    If you believe in what you say, then other people's opinions shouldn't bother you so much that you have to make threads saying "Mommy, make them stop!"

    We need a better defensive coach, that's what we need.

    Look at the Suns' defense coached by the former asst coach of JVG. Then we can survive offensive droughts. As it is, we're only winning when we get super-hot.

    Or we were just missing 3 of our top 5 players.

    I mean either way.

    Championship rosters don't lose 2 consecutive games TWICE in a little over a month's span! It's unheard of! November means everything when you overhaul a roster! Chemistry is a myth! We need to tear it down to the studs, and tank for Wiggins.

    I don't want to hear about missing 3 of our best 6 players to nagging injuries either. The god damn plane has crashed into the mountain!! OOOH THE HUMANITY!!!

    Lol. It's a part of sports. It's like asking fans to not be superstitious like the fans in the bud light commercials.

    So Tracy McGrady has a no effort game in Toronto and the BBS explodes. James harden has no effort games on a regular basis and we can't talk about it?

    I think McGrady had the disappointing effort and was gone not long thereafter.

    Harden is going to stay and have couple of more games with this kind of effort.
