    4-game in a row, all kinda losses in same fashion.
    Bad things would not come up for no reason (assumptions)
    1. Certain conflicts (falling-out) happened in locker room after Celtics game
    2. A wile strategy to sink for an early matchup as well as saving energy in remaining games (LA team)
    3. Players keeping the door wild open for MDA/dM to leave
    4. Showing hatred to tilman (his interview with ustoday?)

    Almost…It is collectively for this whole team showing no interest to play. I'd rather the 3rd one, though thats insane.

    Our shooters aren’t very good at shooting.

    Sheesh. Remember Ryno and EG in their first year here. Remember the good old days?

    Erase small ball. There is a reason now a lot of teams just go to the basket at-will because we don't have a big body to defend. NBA fundamentals!!!

    Honestly. . .I would tell all our players to stand in the paint and fall down
    Every Team now is doing this against Harden and Russ .. . and getting a crazy amount of Offensive fouls

    Make the offense less predictable where defenders can perfectly time when to draw charges.

    They are not perfectly timed. . . . .They are simply falling
    If you cannot see that . . .well it is what it is

    They are perfectly timed and it's because they know that Harden will do a straight line drive to the basket if he's not doing a step back three and nothing else outside of those two things.

    I love harden but its time to stop calling him a high IQ b-ball player. 2 or 3 elbow jumpers adjusts the defense. Quick decisions in iso >>> dribbling for 15 sec and taking crazy shot. Everything is so methodical now and a switch/hunt fest to a fault.

    Our players aren't very good at playing.

    BMac, House, Rivers - to his credit, MDA has gotten production out of the lot, but let's be honest, these guys were all cut before landing here.

    PJ. Love him. But he's a specialist, not an all around basketball player.

    Ego, he can hoop, but he's injured, which is nothing new.
