    Gordon needs to sit out and work on 3pointer with a shooting coach. Only return after shot is fixed.

    Gordon should always start at SF he seems to have Melo itis and only plays well when he is starting.

    Discussing areas of improvement is easily misconstrued as "whining". Tonight the team went down by 15. In the 4th they had a 17 point lead cut to 5. I see nothing wrong with guys discussing how to avoid these occurrences from happening again.

    agreed, he had a stretch today where it was he entered and missed 3, missed 3, missed layup, turnvoer, 1/2 free throws??? horrible stretch similar to what he did vs the mavs. I think our superstars both are down from last year in terms of quality of play moreso CP3 but Harden as well as he just isn't trusting his teammates. Role players always follow the lead and today we saw them finally get involved with Harden and Cp3 they played insanely hard defensively. Can't expect this from Nene either. Our Superstars are the biggest reason for our lack of success and second would be the depth which Morey definitely needs to work on with now Ennis being out. Can't have Gerald Green and Nene be the only guys in the next few games

    Well one thing is CP3 needs to run the offense the 2nd half of the 4th quarters for the rest of the season. Harden is just hacking up shots and turning the ball over.

    I tend to agree, but is CP3 back to normal?

    It was only a game ago where he missed a layup and 2 back to back free throws in the 4th quarter.

    Im happy with the win. But im more and more convinced we may not be a playoff team. It took a hella game from nene and house to get us a comfortable enough cusshion. But 9 times out of 10 good teams will beat us because we cant make stops, even when we do... we cant rebound the damn ball.

    EG at the 3 is counterproductive. Both him and tuck are so undersized. EG couldnt rebound to save his life. Only cp3 and nene are the only 2 players we have that im sure will scrap for rebounds. Tuck can but will always lose the ball to long and athletic guys.

    I liked and saw potential in on the minute he hit a athletic layup which didn’t count in Washington. I saw the ability and the athletic prowess with a ton of potential. He is big, athletic and unlike Ennis he plays smart defense.

    Thanks. I wasn't sure what happened to Ennis either.
    I didn't get to watch until the start of the 2nd half, and I don't think
    I even realized until the end of the 3rd that I hadn't seen Ennis in the game.

    They won and still 2 games behind the Kings and 2nd worst in conference.

    This sucks.

    The team can officially be called messed up front last year.

    GM fault? CP3 fault? Who's fault is this hot mess???
