    Nene, cp3, tucker and Gordon make much of the money on this team and they are playing at either average or at a replacement level

    Even westbrick had an oladipo, kanter and Sabinos is 2017.

    Outside of capela harden has been given nothing this year

    No question, i actually though he was going to play Nene in the last 5 minutes since he did it in the first half but, welp...Faried basically got Ryan Andersoned out there lol

    I wonder how many knee jerk threads will address the real reason for this loss.......lack of height.

    Nope I expect to read about CP3 (even though he had nothing to do with this loss) and Harden ball hogging (lol).

    In each thread i see missing the point I will post a number (1,2,3 etc). I'm just trying to see something.

    Clint will be a huge help, especially with all these mismatches that teams are obviously exploiting on us. Only worry is Harden's composure going into this last leg of reg season. He needs this break more than anyone. But he needs to work with CP3; tonight, I saw the opposite. Would love to see EG have more of an impact off the bench.

    We gave up trying to play defense easy in this game . When you do that and you go with the 3's .... you better be insanely hot to win .

    Mike has some good ideas , but more and more I think he's just as much of a fool as he is a genius .

    We couldn't stop their pick and roll all game .

    We needed to do more to make towns work on defense .

    Eat ass. Paul's still easily a top 20 player in the league. He's coasting and still making a good defensive impact somehow among defensive trash and idiots.

    If we had House and Harden wasn't chasing stats, we win this game.

    But we gave up a first round pick to help with our defense.

    Paul George has definitely rose up to #1 for me. Efficient offensively and defensively. I respect that. Harden chucks up shots. There are games where a lot of them go in. There are other games where they don't. Either way, if Harden isn't bringing it on defense in a particular game, I'd take Paul George any day. It's a close battle right now.

    Y’all said cp3 would bring back the killer instinct so meltdowns like this wouldn’t happen again :confused:

    I don't know what to say. D rose scored a quiet double figures.

    Far"weed' disappeared after that alley oops. Is it feast or famine like Kelvin Cato for far'weed'?

    Mike is just old, in many cases just old.

    Offensive rebounding, struggling with the smaller midget guards, off the ball defnse, lack of consistent production outside of Harden, Green and Faried on offense. Austin Rivers would have been a better matchup on Teague

    No, it's just that all that PeterKingX knows how to do is whine and complain.
    Has to direct it at somebody

    Besides a select few, not sure majority of our team could make another NBA team.

    Tucker is no longer a starter and is too short to play center.
