    When you say "Yes, the players play the game, but the coaches and management have to set them up properly to do it", I agree, but I focus more on the part "players play the game". At the end of the day, players have to play. Yes, they need to be set up for success but they need to go get it. I don't necessarily think management did the best they could've either, but they've done enough for me to earn the benefit of the doubt - Harden, CP3, developing Capela (and signing to a reasonable deal)

    Would have been nice to have a Melo on your team last night when you only scored 9 points in the fourth and 29 in the second half. But Clark and Ennis are better options right?

    I really thought with JeffB coming back, that they defense would drastically improve. So far I haven't seen that. Maybe it really does take a full training camp and elite players to make JeffB's defense top 5 again.

    I disagree with the thought of CP is not giving his max because of the Melo situation. CP is a professional and knows better. The FA contract the team gave him should be good enough to see the commitment the team has made to him.

    How did I miss this fun thread? MeloOFs are comparable to LOFs in many ways. "He is not doing well because so and so are doing him dirty."
