    thats because they were not forcing it and the driving was the focus...3s only in rhythm not as a bailout and substitute for the real attack

    Why tank. We have a deep team and a treasure chest. Make a run and see where the chips fall.

    So f'in what. This offense doesn't look like **** like many proclaimed on here. Defense didn't look like **** either.

    Harden was the big cancer in that team. Doesn't matter if we end up losing a lot more than we win, after losing your MVP star player that's to be expected.

    Just keep that same energy when we go thru slumps and struggle. You are hyping yourself up for a letdown. It’s incredible hard to make the playoffs in the NBA let alone The West without a legitimate all star type player.

    So looking forward to the next game. I so loved seeing the the cutting to basket for a potential easy bucket after going to set a screen.

    Yup, road is long ahead, would like to see how this team build on momentum. Maybe put together a string of wins. Need to stay humble and keep working.

    I'm not sure if Wall will slow our flow though. Also when EG comes back he also.need to Chuck fewer 3's

    Tucker's leadership was apparent tonight.

    We have an all star player. Wood.

    What’s crazy is the lack of energy from fans like you about beating the Spurs without Wall and Gordon. Not to mention VO.

    Yes, we need to keep this style that we played tonight. Such great teamwork.

    Except the Rockets did that multiple times with Luis Scola and Shane Battier. Wood and Tucker way better than those guys not to mention Wall and Dipo being better than Pablo Prigrioni and Tate and Nwaba better than Ryan Bowen and Juwon Howard.

    This team already went thru a slump and struggle on top of their star player leaving, new hc, new system and a boatload of new players on top of a crazy strong schedule. Just look at their past opponents compare that to Philly.

    Wood is not an all star caliber player yet stop it. You earn that right after doing it consistently night in and out.

    I hope we go full rebuild. We dont have to make the playoffs. We're still good if we miss the playoffs but develop a couple of young players into stars. Trade Wall (eventhough I like him) and gordon and get us some new young player who will all buy into Silas's system and not hold the ball and chuck.
