    Wood and Harden inverted pick and roll was what Uncle Jeff did last year.

    I just realized Silas ran a drop scheme on Portland for 48 minutes.

    This guy is a dope.

    To be down 10 is a victory in itself. Don't see it for this one. Bare minimum rotation in mile high Denver is no good. I see hands on knees and a lot of sluggishness from them. They look tired. Maybe Denver can screw up and start playing badly or something but they are 0-2 and look sharp and hungry for a W.

    Down only 10 at the half is actually pretty impressive given they are missing 6 guys, in Denver, against a top 4 team in the West AND having to go up against Ken Mauer.

    We'll just have to accept that this is going to be a poor defensive team going forward. As good as Wood is offensively, he's probably the worst starting C in the league when it comes to defense.

    I see why Harden threw a ball at these bums in practice.

    James Harden 28 points 6 assists 4 rebounds in the first half. Christian Wood 20 points 4 rebounds. Combined for 48 points!

    The duo is on pace to 96 points for the game! Wow!

    Well, Harden and Wood will definitely do great with their unit.

    Wall and Boogie better dominate theirs.

    Don’t understand how they work on mainly defense in practice. Either something is going on with Silas’ coaching or they need to hire a defensive assistant coach.
