    Just stupid. Dantoni doesn't coach basketball throughout the different stages of the game. Deserves to get the **** beat out of him then fired.

    The defensive end is concerning as well. Harden has been our best defender

    we can’t guard them

    I haven’t seen our defense get dominated like this since we played the Pelicans one game in 17-18 I think where they could not miss a shot

    this was a final score in the JVG era.

    this is so frustrating to watch our switch-heavy defense is easily breakable

    It’s like no one knows what to do when Harden is double teamed. Just pathetic.

    I don't think they'll ever learn.

    The defense is so trash. Why don't they hire a good defensive coach?

    They need a rebounding presence, this is embarrassing

    This is the first basketball I'm watching since March and already I remember why I'm falling out of love with the sport. Every time I hear the ref blow his stupid whistle I roll my eyes and contemplate doing something else. It's out of control.

    We let them score more points than a JVG led Rockets team did in a full game.

    Zero adjustments made by D'Antoni. Once again happy to watch the team embarrass themselves defensively.

    Defense seems to struggle a bit with no tall guys.

    I’m not sure what the defensive adjustment is because I’m not sure what they are trying to accomplish. Are we trying to clog the paint or run them off the line?

    To be fair Dallas was on fire and could not miss.

    We'll see if that holds in the second half

    How the **** do you score 75 in a half and trail by 10?
