    I feel bad for Green. Silas is not good coach at developing young talents.

    A nice sentiment but Silas isnt teaching any lessons. He is just getting a check at this point.

    Porter is like the QB who reacts to seeing the open window instead of reacting BEFORE the window opens. He's just like a tick late on every pass. Maybe that's nerves or lack of experience but his anticipation has to get better.

    Jalen Green really is lightning quick. Why he isn't catching and shooting 3s off of screens is beyond me. At least he flashed some playmaking.

    Tate no hustle impact. Nwaba even play? House is out but...Martin getting DNPCD this year??? That's ****ed.

    Wood. Slowest 4 of all time quite possibly. At least press the ball and make him run around you. 6'10" trying to back off like you don't have help defense and getting shot over. What good is that length if you try to defend from 10 feet away? RUN PICK AND ROLL IDIOT. Ran right down the court into a set defense with everyone else watching and just bowled over the defender lol THEN COMPLAINED. Dude. Who is this guy Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde act. Last year he was the perfect compliment to Harden. This year he thinks he's Paul George and he's not even THAT. Paul George SUCKS MAN. ****.

    Theis sucks too. They are flat ass ignoring him after he made a 3 too. Either you feed him and hope he makes 33% of them or you tell him to stand under the rim (no pumpfakes). You don't let him "space" the floor and have your other 4 guys on 5 defenders. They signed up for this mugging.

    Where you at coach? I don't need wins but this is bullshit.

    Big Dick Eric Gordon back tho. Trade value all-time high. That would've been a game 1 massacre without him.

    Oh my heck.

    Gosh dang.

    I had him mocked to us so many times. He's a shooter with some dog in him. We needed that badly.

    Took the whole preseason for granted. A 20 year experienced nba coach did that.

    I think I saw 2 or 3 plays maybe where he did a nice pick and roll which is an improvement from his G-League days. Sadly, him being all-or-nothing from the 3 point line is about par from his G-League days. I think he's just streaky out there. And he probably hasn't figured out driving the ball yet because he used to be above everybody else in high school once he got there. Now he's finding it difficult to get there and there are people going up with him.

    No. Don’t do this. They aren’t tanking, they just suck.

    At least next years draft class has some talented bigs. Back to back lottery picks is a reason to be excited.

    We have a lot of talented scorers on this roster not being used effectively. Everyone looks lost even the vets.

    I did like the Jalen & all vets lineup tho.
