    True but as much as I hate to agree so much with @DaDakota DMo positions himself well in the paint. He boxes out and he can switch pretty well. There were to many times tonight where Nene, Capela and Anderson did nothing.

    These two men are hideous gremlins and losers. We are so screwed. Also, Jeff Bzd!cklick needs a one-way ticket back to Memphis!!!

    about what i expected from an _'Atoni team.

    he's never been a good defensive coach so you have to either live or die by your offense and if it bogs just a little, you're done.

    MDA needs to fix the rotation. Still probably tinkering and seeing what works best.

    Hint: it's not Brewer getting key minutes

    It's just Harden carrying the team just different coach and team mates lol

    We didn't play any defense last year, feels like we play even less now

    Yall weren't kidding about how little he cared about defense. You'd think he'd try his hardest to coach against that knock on him....... nope. He lost game #1, to a young team, to a young coach. You'd think a seasoned coach would be more prepared.

    Why are you guys complaining about defence?

    'Hell yeah we worked on defence, we spent half an hour on it'

    The decision to play ennis late in the 3rd and early parts of the 4th was a huge momentum killer.

    I think this thread is coming early enough that it's meant to be an anti-jinx.

    Not sure that we are going to fare too well with 81 more games with no defense. At least we have our draft pick next year.

    WHile Mike Anthony is just your average coach, a lot of this rests on Mauri. Y'all keep defending this triple chinned mediocre GM while pointing fingers at everyone else.

    Murray is the one who has constructed this roster. He is the one responsible for this injury prone roster. He is the one responsible for giving us Tyler ****ing PEnnis as the back up point. He is the one responsible for the Corey Sewer contract. He is the one responsible for drafting scrubs like Dekker.

    This is not all on the coach. A coach can only work with what he is given from the GM and the GM has given him quite the poo poo platter

    At some point you guys gotta realize it's not a coaching problem.

    I think Les made him do this.

    This was the least Murray-esque offseason ever
