    I see no improvements defensively and they only seem to try on that end once they get behind big

    Our poor offense is contributing to our bad defense IMO. The 3s we consistently miss result in long rebounds by the other team and puts pressure on our transition D.

    Also, Luke needs to call timeouts quicker at the beginning of games to slow momentum of the other team and get things in order. Especially when you know this team starts of slow and has a frustrating tendency to have to dig themselves out of hole. Last night he should have called timeout when the score was 0-5 in the first few minutes.

    Defense. To give up that 3 to Rudy Gay when we were up 4 is absolutely unacceptable...and that falls on LeBron, who btw, has been terrible defensively. Yes, everyone has been bad, but LeBron especially. He can't be this bad defensively as the leader and best player on our team...eveyrone will follow suit if LeBron continues to not care about defense.

    Two players lost weight this off season: KCP and Zu. They both suck worse than before. Get these boys a BURGER!

    Free throws. Offense. Defense.

    Yup, sky is falling until we win our first game and that could take awhile looking at the schedule. I'm totaling calling Booker and Ayton having their way with us tomorrow.

    Yes, someone pissed in my cereal this morning.

    Totally forgot PHX had Ayton. I just hope McGee can give us quality minutes without getting in foul trouble or you know...dying from asthma.

    Everyone on our team tonight played at least 20 minutes and had a positive +\-.

    ... except for Zubac who played 2 minutes and was -4.

    I have to think part of it is the wild pace we play at gets guys tired so they miss the easy stuff. Hopefully it normalizes after a couple more weeks.

    Yeah. We've at least 2-2 right now if we could get those layups to drop.

    Definitely need to step that area up too. The layups aggravate me more for whatever reason.
