    So lemme get this straight ? We've turned it over 12 times and are shooting awfully from 3 ? Yet we are up 1!?!?!? It's becuase we are playing good, solid defense and moving the ball around enough on offense to generate good looks. If we keep up the D in the second half and take care of the ball a bit better we will be looking good.

    That TO happened because Dwight refuses to set picks.

    He just seems to be lacking decisiveness at the end of quarters now. Last season he was not hesitant in such situations. But this year it looks like he's overthinking things too much.

    Only Harden is a dumbass. Everybody else on the team plays smart basketball.

    Also harden , Dmo , Dwight , and Trevor are playing excellent d this game . And pretty much excellent all around . Our starters are killing them . Getting our 5 out at the beginning of the third is going to be an opportunity to take a significant lead.

    If you rewatch it you will see Harden ask Howard to set a pick for him. Instead Howard just puts his hands up like he's open. Howard wants the ball, he always just wants the ball, lol.

    It's also because Pelicans have horrible interior D.

    He refused to set the pick but raised up his hands asking for the ball even though Perk, the anti dwight was on him.

    Yeah but we have scored in a lot of ways inside , a very balanced attack . Dwight and Dmo had some post ups . We got some offensive boards. James has been torching them in transition and going downhill . It's our ball movement that's created holes to get inside .

    D-Mo really helps on D. Great team D and rim protection. It's just nice to see that back from him.

    he is ok, still gets lost in pick and rolls

    don't make him out to be a good defender, because he isn't

    yes it is. most players dont shoot consistently. when your shots are off, you need to seek sth. else and look for easier shots rather than just waiting at the corners.
