    One of the worst halves of basketball I've seen this team play all season.

    Do they not see that they desperately need a good PG? This makeshift thing they’re doing is garbage.

    The real story of the first half is Sheppard leads the team in +/- with -2.

    18 percent from 3, 9 turnovers, and bad Ime coaching.

    Pretty much it.

    They are getting good shots, not making them. If they made 30-40% of their threes they would have the lead or be down 1 or 2 points.

    They'll have more room if the kickout pass for 3 came against a collapsed defense. More space makes mediocre 3 point shooters better. We saw it for years with Harden.

    OK, this might turn out to be a boring loss. Same effect for those who want to go to bed.

    This roster lacks talent @James Harden Stepback 3
    Maybe the coaching as well.

    3 centers, 10 forwards, no guards and just 2 guys who can get their own basket. (1 currently out)

    Reed is going to have a strong 2nd half. He probably doesn't deserve a ton of minutes but i hope udoka plays him

    Ime is probably telling Amen right now, "Keep putting up those threes. They're going to start to go."

    Their threes were wide open bro its not like all of those misses were contested. Harden was part of that 0/23 team so we can see all the dribbling cant help shooting.
