    It seems almost as if Eric Gordon and Chris Paul weren’t playing arguably both top 3 players on our team

    I don't know. If you look at the statics for the season, the defense is the issue. Our defense is pretty consistent in a bad way.
    I am not looking at one game, I am just looking at things statistically over large sample size.

    At home:
    Ortg: 115.7 Drtg: 111.3

    On road:
    Ortg: 111.0 Drtg: 112.1

    So then they're mediocre. Mediocre teams lose to below-average teams. Last year's mediocre OKC team did that a lot.

    Today and tomorrow's game will bring the fanbase back to reality and maybe get Morey off his ass to make a move before other teams do.

    Unfortunately we're in a market of buyers but since we're in win now mode, we have no choice but to give up a lot of picks to acquire star players.

    Means zero what they're done at home. They're really good at home, sure, but if you're not very good on the road, you're not going to do well in the Playoffs.

    Bet you guys weren't making this excuse when Rockets were beating Warriors, Nuggets, OKC, and those other teams. Not a very good excuse. The fact that they lost to the bum Magic just means they're not very good on the road, which is just something you accept for a mediocre team.

    people always sound dumb as hell when talking about tanking for a top pick...foh

    it can’t, and won’t happen

    yeah, let’s tank for the 10th pick and pray for a savior... :rolleyes:

    OP needs to eat a snickers and then have a seat...

    Yeah 4 games back from 1st and literally all on Hardens and Capela shoulders.

    I would say having two of our top 3 players back make us better without a doubt.

    Hardens greatness is what is keeping us afloat, I don’t think it’s an excuse to acknowledge two of our best players are hurt?
