    The offense in the 4th was very reminiscent of the patented Clap Clap Clap McHale offense.

    This is the difference. D'Antoni when it's crunch time goes Offense instead of defense. Harden, Ego, Anderson couldn't get a stop. KJ and Capela probably could have made a difference defensively.

    Losing this games was more about match ups than talent. Brewer should not get more minutes than KJ. You need scorers on the floor with Ennis in the 2nd unit. Ball movement can't stop in the 4th Quarter. Might want to see what a Ennis Harden back court looks like to get Ennis comfortable on the floor and keep Harden in the attacking state of mind and get Ennis some easy scoring looks to build confidence. I don't like Harden playing the PG in the 4th.

    I'm not going to overreact here. Sucky loss but they'll get over it I think. MDA needs to learn that Brewer sucks and Ennis as well. Also Nene needs to sit if he's not playing with heart. Put in Montrezl.

    The sad thing is, the Lakers are gonna look like straight feces covered vomit for the rest of the season.

    Poorly coach first game by MDA. Feels like he's still feeling this team out but Nene and Ennis should have been yanked when it was obvious they were killing the team.

    I'd say back to the drawing board, but I don't now if there is a big enough board.

    MDA played the reserves WAY to long the 2nd half and he played the wrong line ups. Every time we had a lead and they would come in it was awful.
