    That's awkward because it wasn't a turnover. No one took possession after the ball was dislodged

    I think you're right.....going to come out focused in the 2nd half.

    I just can't put my finger on what is wrong with this team. I can understand why people think it needs to be blown up because it's just hard to figure out.

    Their defense sucks. It seems like they're giving up 60 a half quite frequently. Their offense has come along, but it's still inconsistent.

    I still believe a real power forward upgrade would help, but they've been a good defensive team before with TJones or D-Mo in the lineup. Worried that we may be overplaying the Harden factor and overrating Ariza-Howard-Beverley, but I really don't know.

    I still go with the simple answer. We relied on Harden a lot and he was a top 3 player last year.

    This year he looks out of shape or drunk.

    Any team that has their best player decline that much is gonna look a lot worse

    Both Harden and Brewer hang out with a foot in the paint leaving their man open in the corner, wide open.

    And Harden seems to continually try to do too much when double teamed, pass the ball quickly......

    Defensively though, to me, it just looks like they compete only when they want to, or are down trying to make a come back.

    Very proud of JBB for yanking the entire starting lineup.

    I LOVE Bev....night in and night out he brings EFFORT. And IMO can't ask for more than giving it all you've got. Not bad from 3 over the last 10 games (50%).

    Isn't it possible that Harden was injured in the offseason? That would explain why he was limping at the Players MVP night and started the season looking so slow and pathetic. He's been balling for two months now.

    He hurt himself in the Drew league, I mean nobody brings it up because it doesn't fit the narrative and then he got hurt in a preseason game

    I have always stated that getting rid of Scola, the team has never recovered at the PF position. I am also hoping that the team is able to upgrade the position by the trading deadline. As for Dwight I will be alright IF Morey can get a deal done at the trading deadline.

    I've actually noticed this quite a bit for some reason our guards and small forwards will run towards the paint from the weak side when there's penetration and always leaves someone open in the corner.

    And there's absolutely no reason for it....
