    This team sucks. If Harden isn't healthy, SIT HIS ASS. If he's sloshing around on the court only playing offense, it does not help this team, as seen during that half. Even if we can score 65 points, GIVING UP 71 IS WORSE.

    Because that offensive score is inflated when both teams are jacking up a **** ton of threes. It's a high variance game now .

    The offense sucks dick. It's a **** ton of contested threes after contested threes .

    Time to waltz into the locker room and pull out your clubber. Let them know you mean business.

    The lakers scored 72 points and we scored 65, but you are here saying we have a gimmicky offense that defenses can easily stop.

    How is anyone supposed to say anything u say seriously after such a stupid comment. We scored 65 and you are worried about our offense lol

    Dude we aren't going to beat the Warriors relying on making contested three after contested three. 90% of this offense is shooting a three with a hand in your face. Not sustainable.

    GS has been pushing toward breaking win records for 4 straight seasons now. They almost swept the entire playoffs and did 99 DRTG through the entire WC last year. The NBA is not luck as much as it is coaching, discipline, and skill. GS is proving that yearly.

    The Rockets are LAZY - they just don't play hard, they play like they expect the other team to lay down, and teams like the Lakers are gonna bring it...

    We have to up our PROFESSIONALISM.

    True but we are missing open 3s man, you cant complain when we get open shots like that. Our D on the other hand has been HORRID.
    We will probably win this game if we tighten up defensively, we can give up 27 a quarter and win for sure. but if it gets to the 30s again we wont.

    They should get him to consult... He's a master at man-to-man and blitzing (trapping)... at least in Year 1

    We need Paul, Clint and Ego to wake the hell up

    I expect nothing from Ryno now, so anything he does well is a plus

    this is the biggest take away from the L streak. You can tell vs port and the pelicans too we played defense for one quarter in those games.
    Coaching has put us at a disadvantage too, it doesent look like mda has an idea which groups work best together, he just knows he has to have either CP or JH on the court at all times. Expand your thinking a little ffs they look clueless playing together on D.

    Harden is painfully slow for an athlete. His defense is terrible largely because of this, and it negatively impacts his offense too

    I honestly don't think it's laziness except Harden... They don't have a legitimate offensive plan B... Havent since Rudy T

    Lmao what? The lakers are literally walking in to the paint... the high variance is what’s allowing that?
