    I actually feel bad for Cousins.

    I dont think he deserved to be thrown out of either of the last 2 games, and we really could have used him tonight.

    You would think we learned something from previous years, if the three doesnt go try something else. Play good defense and be rewarded. Nada...

    Its still early, I always like to give it a bit time...

    I don't trust these shooters. Gordon shot better back then. Wood and Cousins aren't great 3pt shooters. Tucker has seemed to gone worse from the 3pt line. McLemore is probably our best spot-up shooter, but even he has some bad shooting games.

    But, I do agree we'd probably win more games with Harden running the point a lot more.

    The playoff game version would have been more irritating.

    This team went through it.

    I have seen worse.

    Harden’s stagnant offense and careless TOs kill any momentum. His foot is too slow this season.

    I'm fine with Wood. he just may be a PF that needs to play alongside another real C until he puts on weight..

    Been saying that. But but cf’s said Silas is this masterful coach where other guys need to get the ball :rolleyes:

    now people are b****ing at how the offense has sucked. What a surprise.

    No matter who the coach is. You are not going to win like that. Especially when the team can't hit the broad side of a barn. I guess people want Coach Silas to suit up? I get more Iso would be good but the team has to hit shots regardless even if Harden ISO's all game to keep it close he will be tired at the end when we need him most like always.

    Never forget, we cut our 3rd best three point shooter (Gerald) because we couldn't afford his vet minimum salary.

    Lmao

    Silas plays Harden even more minutes than MDA except he plays Harden with handcuffs on.

    And Harden is still gimpy.

    Crazy.

    Can't wait to play LA again, after Voegel has a chance to adjust and really turn the screws on this abomination of a team

    Something else like what? The only player that’s effective from midrange is Harden. We have no post up options. The PnR was bottled up. What else was there to do?

    the defense needs to improve big time tho...especially in transition because it’s a straight up joke

    I mean if it didn’t make sense before it makes complete sense now why James wants to get the **** out.

    I think wood circled the second game on Tuesday with lakers, instead of this game. So there is still hope

    Where all these people coming from saying we need to spam Harden iso all day? I'm sure he deserved more touches after going 2-8 from 3pt land with 7 turnovers and no defense.

    You are creating fake alternate realities dude.

    Harden WON those games in the past.

    If you are talking about championships then you need to get a grip and realize regular season wins have to come first.
