    That is something I don't understand either. Seeing it so many times makes me believe that it is not Harden, Lin, or whoever but it is the coaches instructing them to do this.

    I'm sure his detractors will be more than happy to assign blame to McHale as well.

    Where is Casspi? He played great in first quarter.

    Only 7 points from the bench, just shows how vital it is to have Harden playing with Lin from the bench. With the way Lin is playing he has to get starters minutes every night.

    T Jones needs to hit the boards a bit more, also needs to be confident in the corner. Often he steps in before a pass can be made, throwing the spacing off a bit. It is possible he isn't expecting the pass and wants to get inside for the offense rebound.

    Perimeter defense is still a major issue, even though we have not gone to the TT line-up at all. With Harden out I think Brewer needs some minutes.

    And if he were to miss games, we have Sampson to blame.

    I'm guessing you've never played organized ball.
    Yelling is the standard mode of communication during the game.

    This is the worst defensive effort all year. Right up there with the Clippers fiasco. There is one guy that actually has solid defensive skills and that's Dwight. Lin got torched by Anderon, Evans torched Parsons and Casspi.


    Offensively we looked good though. ;Lin had some beautifull passes, pat moved the ball and Casspi had some nice passes.

    Lin is playing most minutes with Harden out. Hope he will not be exhausted by 4th qtr.

    Seriously though, what is going on. I can't watch the game. Is Lin getting destroyed on D? I can't make out from this box score why the heck we're losing...

    Can we kill it with the LOF crap. I hope this don't continue throughout the entire season.

    They need to put Ronnie Brewer on James Anderson for a few minutes and slow that basturd down.
