    Rockets backcourt looks spooky

    We were so shook from that. They scored 33 points off turnovers, and we missed 12 free throws. That's the game right there.

    silas lacks the coaching stamina so he never got to teaching his crew how to fight it

    We weren't particularly bad on half court defense. The shots they made were really tough. But we gave up random points off turnovers and it's really demoralizing

    It might be worth using some of those big thesis savings to invest in a stellar defensive coach in the offseason. Can we fit one more person on the new plane?

    Yeah but if the other team is scoring an insane 33 pts of TO, it means your transition defense is raw sewage...

    Team defense isn’t really bad, it’s the stupid turnovers … and lack of defensive rebounds that kills the Rockets …. Wood is soft and Sengun isn’t a great rebounder either … Tate is small …

    Missing free throws and turnovers are a direct result of a poorly coached team.

    KMJ is such a likable player and does a lot of good things but unfortunately also a liability. Can’t dribble drive, no handles, and no 3 pt shot. Just not enough talented personnel on this team.

    It’s everything. Its all bad. But To me losing isn’t the issue. The issue is poor decision making in critical moments or when the team has momentum. Another issue to me is also how this team was built getting troubled players with some talent for cheap in hopes of turning them into something more and building a team around them is just absurd to me. No team in the league built their team this way. None. Really a bunch of parts that simply don’t fit. It’s apparent in every game.

    Warriors are 20th. Raptors 23. Cavs 24. Spurs 26 in FT% Warriors 29 in turnovers.

    Sengun just hasn’t played well with teams adjusting to him. Sure he had some good passes but overall Frustrating and disappointing.
