CP3 is SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Not the same player - he is not a leader or top player anymore he is at best a complimentary one.

Melo is even slower and he is DONE as a good player.

This team is not constructed well, that is on Morey and Tillman.

DD

 

He looked like crap against New Orleans and looked eve worse tonight

 

I agree... the part that i find baffling is that other than Jeff, the coaching staff is the same... like 75% of the player rotation is the same (CC/PJ/Harden/CP3/EGo/GG)... yet it seems defense has totally gone out the window... was Biglydick operating a vacuum where nobody knows what he was coaching and saying? ...or did the focus shift and there hasnt been a strong enough voice preaching defense?
Thats why i say man, this is a focus thing... this is about priorities...

 

Morey was able to turn a title contender into a lottery team in 5 months time...gaw dam!! impressive!

 

You know, youve made some posts today I havent liked but haha, you are pretty funny.

At this point, no one really knows anything. I think its just sounds way too much like a conspiracy theory when in reality its probably hes just old and his family wanted him to retire.

 

Highly paid crap at that. Speaking of crap, I will add EG's 3 pt shooting to that list, our defense, our team chemistry, and that gold blob of dye in Clint's hair. What is that blob anyway? Was it supposed to be a crown? King Clint?

 

#runitback

Yup, there goes the other team running it back down court for an open layup/dunk.

Montrezl Harrell just scored again.

 

at this rate, we have a very good chance to get Zion Williamson tho, let's run it back next year..

 

I'm totally onboard.

 

Nope, jeff bzdelik was the mvp, I think the success all of last year due to his defensive schemes and relationship with the players

 

this prob has some real validity to it... As someone who has managed stores his whole career, if yer busting your butt and delivering good results yet mgmt continues to undercut you and not support your efforts - you get fed up and (if yer in the position to do so) you leave...
in this case, we all know that DM is about the stars... and MDA is all about the offense.... if jeff and his defensive efforts are being crapped on... why would he stick around?

 

I get your point BUT this comment is insulting tbh.

 

obviously he was getting defensive efforts out of guys last year - that they arent giving this year... jus sayin...

 

This dude literally said people should spit on our players.

 

Of course I wasn't. I watched almost every game last year and enjoyed them. But, it ended up being a huge disappointment when we lost.

 

That actually made me laugh. The sky is falling, the sky is falling!!

 

Well it was an injury and those happen, the fact is, we had our best regular season ever and were one hamstring away from beating what could be the best team of all time. The Chris Paul trade was absolutely worth, dont act like he isnt worth the money either cause he is.

 

This start reminds me of that other season we made the WCF only to barely scratch the 8th seed and get rocked by the warriors in 5.

In the end, here's my main gripes:

1) Our switch-everything defense. I swear, it should be obvious that we don't have the versatility from enough players to continue to switch everything. Mcw & Ennis are just not going to cut it guarding bigs or guards. They should have the athletic capability/gifts but they simply don't.

2)I don't get the stubbornness in this defensive strategy. I swear we're giving away easier possessions to teams that are offensively challenged (like the clippers) instead of making their average playmakers work for it. This is how guys like Montrez get 30 points. Every single one of his freebies come from our smalls switching onto him on the move, out of the pick n roll. It's not like they have the allstar guards to play-make. They were doing this with their 2nd string pgs and montrez was feasting. Yet, after montrez gets 10+ fts, we still stubbornly stick to this stupid scheme.

3) MDA's coaching is really coming out right now. It's obvious that ennis hasn't given us anything and that even in these last two losses, Melo has been producing offensively at least, with not bad defense either. I swear if ennis gets the start over melo when he comes back, then D'antoni is as clueless as Mchale was when switching Jeremy Lin onto Dirk time and time again, or assigning terrence jones to guard Lamarcus in the post instead of dwight.

4) Capela may be getting his numbers, but he's not playing as well as last year. He's continually shown himself to be soft when trying to finish over other team's bigs, hasn't been able to convert point blank hooks, and just isn't asserting himself to be a positive factor when our team is playing like trash. If we thought he'd assert himself to be somewhat of a 3rd "star," he'd be able to do things like PJ Tucker was in stretches tonight. It's still early, so I don't lose hope on this point. Yet still, bothers me.
