I put "other". There should have been an "unrealistic expectations from fans" option. Walk back from the edge people. The loss was a heart breaker but it will not be the last one. This team is a work in progress, even before the addition of Dwight, these guys have only had one full season to play with one another. And the team added 3 new pieces this season: Dwight, Casspi and Brewer (yes, Brewer will be part of the rotation as the season progresses and in the post season).
It's overall defense of course this team was saying in the first couple of games in the year that we need to win with our defense that isn't happening no more everybody wants to get out on the break shoot 3s or make highlight plays but nobody wants to man up lock somebody down rotate on D and the biggest thing COMMUNICATE look at the heat and how they play tremendous defense and they turn it into offense we can score with the best we can score on anybody but once we get locked in defensively that's when this team is really going to be special
Harden's defense. Followed by Howard's FT. Those are your two max players. With those glaring weakness in their game, we aren't going anywhere if they don't improve.
TURNOVERS AND FREETHROWS. Seriously, if we had made two more FTs of the 12 that we missed the other night we'd have a W instead of L.
