    and yet, here we are. Still watching basically every f*cking game.

    Is this what an abusive relationship feels like..?

    At least u r still here. Suffering like the rest of us.

    The dumbasses who said "I rather watch us lose playing team ball than Harden win with iso ball". I wonder how many r still active on this site. Only bright spot for me rn is watching green, Smith and sengun get better.

    Oh dear god, it is the entire team who sucks on D......I don't know what Lionel Hollins is doing but it ain't coaching D.

    Why are you acting like bad defense is all Sengun's fault?

    He had 4 blocks tonight, which is the most in the game.

    We were all so sure that we were promised the #1 pick for doing Harden and the NBA a solid and trading him to Brooklyn instead of holding out for the best deal possible and now look at us, sitting here looking like this at the GAME HAS ENDED screen on League Pass

    He always has that ipad out, too. Must be playing RAID: SHADOW LEGENDS™ or something instead of actually setting up a proper defense

    For me the one good thing about a close-ish win, finally, is that we can kind of be a little tongue-in-cheek about our despondency instead of ending the game in a flat-out catatonic state.

    I hope we get a few more wins and fake comebacks soon, the last couple of games against the Clippers and Kings were just straight depressing.

    “Uhhh we had this one, great leadership from the bench by Kevin today. Saw a couple good things from Gordon tonight. We Uhh, we win this game is LeBron doesn’t have an all time great game. My coaching was great, really could feel the energy from Porter too. Can’t win them all. We will learn and get better.” -Silas

    Blocks are not an indicator for good D. This would mean that hassan whiteside is the defense goat. Hes not.

    The good thing is...player and ball movement were good tonight. the bad thing..our defense, we cant create stops. every possession were points or foul.And its not on 1 player, its a problem of the whole team. our backcourt D, transition D, rim protection...

    This isn’t shocking, look at who the Rockets have drafted and how they are skill and effort wise on the defensive end.

    WTF are you smoking?

    Nowhere did I blame Sengun for our crappy D.
    It is a team wide thing.

    If I'm Lebron I'm insulted if I hear that.

    That was the easiest 48 Lebron had in a while.
