Ehhh I don't think his weakness on D has anything to do with softness. He's often too aggressive and draws unnecessary fouls. True enough that he deserves criticism.

Especially when it's the Timberwolves.
right on dmo but he doesn't need to start anymore. in the first 5 minutes of the game, he looks like he just played 50 minutes.
The problem is that the team is just too flawed, from the coach to our star players and down to the 13th man who plays. Talking will not solve anything, even more so because we don't have a leader. There's not one of Howard or Harden who will set the example and even if they remind guys of those talks or whatever, they are not going to buy it. I wouldn't. Can you imagine Harden telling you to play harder on defense? Can you imagine Howard telling you to get him the ball in the post all the time?

Hopefully this one is more serious than the last 12 Players Only Meetings that we have had this season alone. The Rockets have almost killed my love of basketball this season, but they have definitely killed my opinion of Players Only Meetings. This crap doesn't work. It's all about ACTION not TALK.
Was food served in these players-only meetings? No meeting is successful without at least snacks. I bet that's why it hasn't worked the first five, six, seven, eight times.
A-1 sauce... Well done steak..... A copious amount of condoms... and "ass" was served, compliments of Doc Rivers' creepy eye.
A1 sauce with the food? Wins coming. Dmo isn't happy about all the talking - he loses his breath too fast and is pooped out by game time.
This is true... Change starts with play on the court from your so called stars... ALL of THEM!!! T_Man
PLAY HARDER! TRY HARDER! YOU LOUSY MOTHER****ERS! <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Yes.

So much for his disrespecting the game rant. “Over and over again, we’ve disrespected the game. Our priorities need to be clear, and I need to do a better job of playing people whose priorities are clear.” Yeah, okay. Spewing more bull**** like the players.
