    Oh I agree with you on that.

    Too early to call losses with our team, I have no issues with guys in here b****ing about players ( though Harden gets too much bs to this day... which I just smh at). Ive been trashing Ryno all night and will continue too, he's making it that much harder to win now.

    no, it's completely fine to criticize them when they're playing bad, but i never understood the losing mentality most of this board takes when we go down early/come out slow... it's like they haven't seen our ability to demoralize our opponents quickly.

    So when MDA warned last game about complacency early in games, the team really took it to heart, lol

    Can we please shut these guys down in the second half? I'm a bit shocked they managed to drop 63 on us.

    exactly. if a guy is making layups, you can blame the D. when a guy goes 6-6 on 3's, the last 2 of which were heavily contested, there's not much you can do. most nba players can get a 3 off and/or most 3's are somewhat open off passes. if a 1.7 per game guy goes 6-6 in a half, that's just a bad break.

    they are probably gonna do what they can to take harden off in the second half....cp has to help with his assist more then his scoring today. His 1v1 matchups are tough because the lakers are all really atheltic, unless you can get bogut on him.
    He needs to keep getting help from screens and find the open man. Harden needs to keeep Bearding. We need to keep Streaking. Lets go for 15!!

    we've played bad defense for the most part but they don't have KCP and Lopez tonight. naturally, their offense has been ran at a higher pace and they get better quality shots.

    It's definitely becoming a pattern where the opposing teams are shooting lights out from the three. I think it's mostly a combination of 1.The other team being mentally prepared for a three point shoot out 2. our weak perimeter defense
