    This early in the season it's obviously chemistry and Mchale ****ing around with line ups.

    Well, one problem is that they aren't shooting well right now.

    Defense and I don't think the team knows it.

    As Doc Rivers has said, "Offense without defense is fools gold."

    The team is too focused on offensive output and just trying to outscore the opposition.

    Coaching... it is obvious. Whoever blames the player, does not know basketball.

    All of a sudden, our chemistry was gone. To my surprise, even Parsons force himselve too many drives recently

    While not the main problem - but still a big problem - is turnovers. Even with reducing in the last pathetic game. Enough already.

    Harden's ISO and twin towers, both can be/should be fixed by the coach. So coaching is the root of the problem.

    5 games in 7 days is our biggest problem right now. I don't remember it getting that jammed up even during the lockout season.

    I'm going with perimeter defense. Offense takes time. We have to gel. We're getting killed from outside the paint. Defense doesn't take time. Contesting a jumper doesn't take time. At least attempting to close out on a shooter doesn't take time. McHale has to implement a defensive mentality in these guys. At least freaking try.

    defensive chemistry, and now, surprisingly, offensive chemistry.

    Maybe it's dwight... I don't know how many annoying die-hard Laker fans said that Dwight will ruin Houston's chemistry.. I'm beginning to see it.
