    Not sure why everyone is shocked. OKC lifted there defense, made some adjustments and our 3 ball went cold (which happens with shooters, sometimes you get hot and other times you can't make anything).

    A good defensive team can shut our team down, then our fundamental flaws end up killing us.

    Jones think he's Magic half the time. He should be ordered never to lead a fast break, only encourages him to make these half court bullet passes where he tried to thread the needle.

    JVG has said many times that the most underrated thing about a team is coaching. We don't need a trade. The players are there for the most part. Sure there can be minor improvements made but at the end of the day if the coaching isn't there it doesn't matter who we get. What are our problems? Lack of identity and half court offense and defense. That's on the coaching.

    This is one of those change games. Has to be. You have too many expectations on the season for this to be OK.

    2nd night of back-to-back is gonna be used as a reason, but that is just downright terrible.

    This team has no identity. One game Lin is playing PG, running and gunning and connecting with Howard allowing him to dominate. The next game they are walking the ball up playing ugly slow half-court basketball.

    This falls on coaching staff being inept. Develop a damn identity and stick to it already.

    Dmo was the only bright spot tonight. Hopefully they incorporate some plays for him in the post.

    better yet , OKC team is more aggressive on defense than Houstons team and played tight on the perimeter. Houston cant run, they struggle to win. Mchale is barking orders but the players aren't producing.

    Anyone else thinks McHale coaches better without Sampson by his side?

    Harden, Howard, Parsons, and Lin all played below their standards. Can't win like that.
