    Eric Gordon should NOT be handling the ball. Like, Sterling Brown should be doing stuff with it and Gordon should be running off screens.

    Boogie has to get aclimated to his new normal
    He simply CANNOT DO everything he use too
    HE has to relearn some things on defense

    He cannot OUT ATHLETE anyone anymore

    For such a tall team, much taller than last season's team, they suck at rebounding AND defense.

    Silas needs to reevaluate and go back to gang rebounding and making switch everything their base defense again.

    This guy has put Nwaba in the dumpster.

    I thought I got over it but I’m really not.
    This might be as bad was when MDA gave Joe Johnson time over Luc.

    I mean defense probably has a lot more value in the NBA. So there's maybe a reason why so many teams have passed on him. Some fans care about ppg, but impact is a lot more important. If he's giving up as much or more points than he's making, then there's really not much value there.

    He also appears to lack any kind of awareness on the defensive end as well.

    Defense has been bad, but defensive rebounding has been worse. PJ and House can't start together. Silas needs to start Tate at this point. The inside is so soft for with Wood as your main paint protector.

    If rockets played any defense they would be up 10 pts.

    Fear we will cool off badly but our D will just allow the Kings to continue to torch us from deep - they do have a lot of legit shooters to be fair

    the problem is CWood is not good at defense. He has potential but he’s somewhat lost out there at times. Then Tucker isn’t what he was.

    good nba defense these days starts with the 3/4/5 being solid and able to switch and guard the perimeter while also being “big” enough to guard interior and rebound.

    it’s nice to have solid backcourt defenders but anyone can get by anyone in the nba today.

    Silas looks to be as bad as MDA in terms of just stubbornly commiting to the same players without making any rotation adjustments. Did we just let go of MDA because of the price tag? We should've just kept him.

    They mistakenly seem to think he’s their best 3rd option as a ball handler/distributor.

    This didn’t happen at all last year.

    Detroit was good with him on court defensively and bad without him.

    I don’t know what you guys are watching. He isn’t Gobert or anything but he’s not bad.
