    Our defense scheme shouldve been zone defense. These guys got every type of layup. This man to man crap was slow and behind

    Terrible shooting as a whole and no freaking defense is what destroyed us in this game.

    Not winning many games giving up 131 pts to anyone... Got absolutely destroyed in the paint. Marques Chriss should improve paint D some but IDK, defense looks like a concern this season.

    Not taking any stock into tonights game. It takes time for the team to build a good defense, especially when you get new players in the mix. The Rockets defense didn't start all that great last year either. They gave up way too many lay ups but I felt like a lot of jump shots were contested. It's one game.

    That's their Achilles Heal! This wasn't as bad a game 7, but it was bad.

    Anything can happen. Tbh the only thing I'm certain of is that this is another year of the Rockets and Clutchfans. So welcome back everybody. :p

    I cant even be negative on this board because I have to go and defend our own team from horrible overreactions and bad takes.

    I wonder if Melo is chirping about how he should start yet.

    His signing was and is weird. I guess Morey missed Brewer but wanted an even worse shooter.

    That's a far cry from what I expected. I didnt expect a blowout for us, but I tell ya...

    Harden wasn't dominant.
    Paul wasn't in control.
    Melo wasn't involved past the 1stQ.
    Capela wasn't unpaid Capela.
    Ego had no shot or rhythm.
    Tucker wasnt 3/D Tucker.
    MCW was a runaway train off the rails.
    Ennis was.... (?)

    I don't know. That was just really bad. We didn't look like a TEAM at all, and even all failed individually.

    Sure, it's only 1 game - hopefully, it'll be our worst game of the season. Just too bad we waited 6 months to watch that bullsht. 'Nite CF.

    Yikes!
    But it’s just one game. The first game. And it was against AD and a 30 point Niko night.
