    Agreed. We're in a horrible spot to be in now. Okc and Spurs are about to take over for a decade. Interesting summer coming up. BIG DECISIONS

    Bring in a new GM and coaching staff. They will have to move somebody.

    Either one of them has to be traded, or their offseason program should be to develop a reliable three-point shot. To be honest, they both should already have one.

    I'd like to see an offensive strategy that doesn't consist of four guys standing in one spot watching whoever has the ball

    They just don't cut, they don't set off ball screens, they don't ****en move. The tanking teams were easier to watch than whatever this **** is

    when there's no offensive rebounds and the refs don't favor the rockets

    they're the worst team in the league

    JD 3 assists and Capela 3 easy score dunks.

    is basketball that difficult for the starters?

    Oh I agree, but they were like that last night. Ryan even said last night opening tip that they looked like they were lacking energy.

    I'm just saying, I don't think the comments have much to do with it, it's been a problem all year I feel like and most of that presser was them saying "We believe in this group" etc etc etc

    I think they play like a team that's losing trust in their coach, that's just me, I'm not in the lockerroom or anything

    Yep.

    Even with Amen and Sengun not being shooters they could still generate offense and open looks with more offensive movement. When defenders have to scramble and constantly look over their shoulder for screens they tend to make mistakes.

    Its so easy to guard this iso stuff unless you got prime James Harden.
