    Excellent point, it’s the old slow news days on the hot takes shows, despite the fact that I do think this defense is laughably bad (as last night glaringly showed), we just aren’t outscoring the better defensive teams in the West in a 5/7 game series. That said there is still a lot of games to play and hopefully they get it together (or get some help at the 3/4 spot between 12/15 and the trade deadline.

    That pic is seriously disturbing ..

    How he deals with stuff in his personal life, whatever that may be, has nothing to do with the validity of his basketball takes.

    If he doesn’t have the confidence or insight about the basics of life then his opinions on basketball or other topics mean nothing to me.

    Same guy that said Harden isn't an MVP candidate after he averaged 50 for 3 weeks.

    Not sure what Jefferson's thing is, but he's definitely a Houston-hater. Whatever the opinion... it's gotta be negative if it's Houston.

    Our last season was more successful than Richard Jefferson’s entire career. Not sure what he considers success?

    Spurs fans call him Dick Jefferson and not because his name is Richard but because he likes...

    So far, I’m optimistic. There were 2 concerns going into this season.

    1) how would Harden and Westbrook mesh offensively?
    2) what about the defense?

    I think we have answers to both.

    Harden and Russ are great together. Their strengths contrast so much that it benefits them when they play alone and together.

    our defense is terrible.

    I’m ok with 1 of 2, because it give us a season to figure things out and I’m confident Morey will adjust the roster to strengthen the defense.

    defense is a fixable problem. Harden and Russ not meshing is not.

    I mean, 3(i think 4 now) games and being bottom of the pack in defense, aint a great look. Like...Im not saying he wasnt being somewhat dumb, but if the Rockets dont play at a top 10 defensive level, its gonna be bad for us. We cant out talent everyone like the Warriors and Cavs did cause everyone has superstar duos right now. Thats just my opinion on it

    Edit: And i just want to say, its not like I dont believe we cant turn it around, we def can. Weve sen how good are defense can be in the Bucks game.
