    Tucker is NOT the problem.

    EG, Wall, House (yes House), Harden (yes Harden), PJ, Nwaba, Brown and Tate are good defenders. The defense will be fine.

    Im worried about the rebounding. Rockets just need to get rebounds and finish off the defense.

    He is a center. If you have championship aspirations House is not going to be starter

    Our spacing is not good either.

    Tucker is now too slow and small to start

    House can’t create, gets lost on defense and shouldn’t start

    I mean, he's certainly part of it in that he's not a starting quality player, but he's still playing starter minutes.....but he's not the only guy that doesn't belong on the court out there forced into a bigger role than they are capable of handling.

    Notice how much closer the game got when it was Denver's 3rd stringers out there against our 3rd stringers who were forced to be the primary backups.

    Switch everything requires you to simply switch everything. There is not much to think about unless someone slips a screen. Silas defense requires more thinking. Even PJ is getting lost.

    Bruno has doubled the points that House has and more rebounds.

    In 10 less minutes.

    Think about that for a second.

    There goes all the optimism from the Portland game. Dammit.

    Wall, Cousins and McLemore are not good defenders, so I have no clue how we're going to improve on the defensive end when they're back. Wood isn't that good on the defense, but he can at least score. Gordon may have decent defense, but his shooting has been off the past 18 months or so. And, we have to worry about Wall and Cousins staying completely healthy after missing 2 years of basketball.

    Yeah, we'll no doubt win more games when they're back..... but I just don't see us coming close to winning the championship. Our defense simply isn't good enough. We don't have any good defenders. Maybe Tucker, but he hasn't looked right for a while.

    Spacing wise, That should definitely improve with Wall, EG, Cousins and Mclemore coming back.

    Defensively i'm not so sure it will move the needle.
