    That would be GSW defense...focus on Harden and what else do we have?

    For some reason Calvin Murphy would make a good coach. I like his attitude towards the Rockets. Imagine what he could do, I wonder?

    This team has showed pride and hustle tonight. But the difference in strategy is glaring. It's like a bunch of savages against a formal military. You can have all the heart in the world but with no cohesive gameplan it's moot.

    I think people are forgetting this is the best defense in the league. They are going to challenge our offense. Need more precision offensively.

    Too slow, can't box out, can't coach, can't move the ball, can't rebound, and can't close the paint. But nobody seems to care.

    When Adelman was here, everyone complained about his defense...

    By the way I hate numbers because they lie.... If you look at Howard's numbers tonight it would say he's having a good game...

    Easy. So easy for GSW. They run plays.

    I don't remember the last time I saw Mchale get t'd up for standing up for his players... I'm sure it's happened though, right?

    I think he could be. The suits alone would distract the opposing team.

    This is sad. I am thankful that we're not mediocre anymore, I really am. But when we got Dwight I thought we had become a contender, a true championship contender. As I watch this game, I realize that these are only 4 games of the season, meaning that we will be fine in our seeding this season. Probably somewhere 3-6.

    However, this team won't be able to last two rounds in the playoffs. McHale just doesn't seem to have the ability to raise a team in big moments. I believe this team can win the championship, with the current roster and everything. But the fact that we cower in these kinds of games, and we have no composure when we're backed into a corner indicates a weakness in our mental fortitude. That falls on McHale as his main job is to elevate the team when necessary. Just not seeing us get to the WCF if this current style continues.
