    If you have 1 or 2 guys who don't know how to rotate it all falls apart.

    We have guys who are just not all that good on D, and there you are.

    I remember when Harden was first here and I thought myself Does Harden know he can get by anyone? it took him a couple of years to realize what I saw. Jalen will get there trust. It would be faster if we had a real point guard.

    One guy can never EVER have a defense this bad. Period. End of story.

    Green's defense is bad but no one on the team is good.

    For those who aren’t mathematically advanced, Mavs are on pace for 160 points

    You got to be a special kind of flat footed team to routinely give up 70 pts in a half...without their best players at that

    The offense could be so much better if he would set a good screen. I think I saw the whole half and he scored from it.

    This offense is ****.

    Btw I don't want to hear anybody talking about Jalen Green's defense tonight, all these guys are awful

    Wood is a joke on defense. Hope he drives home at halftime

    One of the worst defensive halves of basketball that you will ever see.

    I feel like Green is very coachable and catches on fast. If CP3 was nagging him every day he would learn quickly. Rockets have nobody for him to learn from so he flounders.

    When you have guys who aren't great defensively being forced to play essentially 4 on 5, this is what happens.
