    Parsons is literally useless apart from being able to cut to get the odd point. Can't defend, doesn't box out, can't shoot anymore.

    Team comes back at 2nd half, plays defense and actually start making shots. Rox win 99-97

    Why wasn't Patrick Beverley in at the end of the 2nd quarter?? This really baffles me.

    Anyone who bashes those shots is an idiot. CP3 does it EVERY TIME. So does Tony Parker. IT'S ****ING BASKETBALL 101.

    I think part of it is mental. They think they can gamble more since we got another elite defensive center. Other part probably due to McHale not really good at enforcing defense in his team

    apparently so, and all three guards over help on centers that aren't even average. so it's just not one player.

    Actually looks like the defense got worse.
    For all the flaws of the Twin Tower lineup, I don't remember ever giving up this many layups with them.

    So, Mr. Harden isn't the only one to blame for our bad D, aye?

    I think the difference is not that Harden isn't a great defender, it's that he doesn't even TRY.

    Lin is struggling defending some of these guys on the perimeter, especially since he's giving up a lot of length, but he IS trying to stay on his man on every possession.

    And that's not even bringing in the difference in expectations between Lin's average NBA PG contract and Harden's having a Max contract. You *should* expect Harden to at least play hard BOTH ways every game for a Max contract.

    Lin on the other hand is at least trying and working on it.

    It's odd to me too. I thought pb was supposed to come in for Lin. Lets hope pb finishes the game in place of Lin.

    No twin towers
    No Harden

    Who do folks blame!?

    There is still that Kevin McHale fella. Surely he'll take the fall.

    Garcia is sick. Couldn't even leave his bed two days ago.

    Am I the only one who finds this game boring?
