    I've noticed that thrown around after the Toronto game, the Washington game....i think you get where i am going with this.

    This team lacks a killer instinct and a desire to fulfill expectations bestowed by others let alone themselves. Its difficult to watch for a fan who supports and knows no other way :(

    I hope they turn this around soon, but what exactly will it take???

    I don't know man, there are so many things wrong with this team it's crazy.

    -Predictable, easy to defend offense
    -Failing defense
    -Injuries to star players
    -A coach that has no clue

    We have had so many that I don't even believe in the "Philly" game anymore. We lost to so many of the teams we were suppose to beat.

    we are going to pay for this at the end of season...when every game counts for playoff seeding.

    The streak spoiled us. I don't think we will have a true "Philly" game this season, we have a lot to fix.

    No defense, bro...that is the big elephant in the room that few people want to admit because they are mesmerized by Adelman's motion offense.

    You lose your identity, your bread and butter, your only consistency, and you suddenly do not look nearly as good anymore.

    Cannot say I am surprised, I semi saw this whole thing coming when the Rockets proved to me game after game that their defense is completely gone, and that the JVG defense had finally wore off. This team might win a few games in a regular season, but I guarantee you they won't go anywhere in the playoffs, healthy or not.
