    Without stops we have no fuel for our offense.

    Some of that is them making shots , most of that is we can't rebound .

    Play the big man MDA . At this point hartenstein can't hurt .

    Although I admit Gary Clark looked pretty bad . Wtf was that display btw ... he wasn't engaged at al

    Maybe Melo was acting in a larger role than ideally suitable for the team but Clark has contributed NOTHING to this team.

    I have faith. But this defense is something else. It’s almost as if half of us want to switch the other is going under screens.

    This team cannot defend. But they cant defend us either.

    What's the Rockets record with James Ennis in the line-up? Hint, it's not very good.

    We let their defense settle with the refs. Their "length" was sold to the refs, all because we couldn't do a simple entry pass to Cp. The only way we get into this is if we start looking to draw fouls and slow the game down. They're too good in a groove. Cp hasn't taken one shot. Clint ain't going to fix this. This is on our wings and guards.

    Our $160 million piece of glass with a sweet 3-1-2. What a bum that dude is. Christ. This team's defense looks bottom 30 bad...

    It's early. Harden is having a good game. He just needs to take over. Now would be good.

    Just don’t show up and play if you’re not going to give a damn. Embarrassing defense.

    So Cp3 is an even shorter version of our short PF

    He looks trigger shy and hesitant. Back and hammy.

    They are feeling zero defensive pressure and getting good looks every trip.

    We are simply scrambling on defense and also outsized at every position.

    59-69, buddy. The Nuggets actually have decent defense. They usually pick it up in the second half, so this garbage team is going to get blown out.
