    Bruh a pg wont solve this not unless you get Cade or Steph Curry. Its a coaching problem.

    Sengun 28/6/3
    Amen 18/9/8
    Reed 14/2/4

    Our point guards did great. The offensive execution was horrible.

    Why even sit Tari for the entire game and then put him in ice cold for the most critical possession? Last min call out a play, get a time out and still the Rox come up with nothing. Thats just bad coaching.

    This team needs a real PG so badly.

    This team needs a ****ing point guard, this loss can be directly attributed to all the bonehead turnovers in the second half and damn near every one of those stupid turnovers were from boneheaded decision making by the “ball handler”.

    What an absolutely embarrassing week losing to two teams who’ve combined for fewer wins than us.

    at this point, it's like, we're not that good of a team. we're solid, but we're not that good. zoom out a little bit - we still got really good core, KD is great but has never been a top dog of a championship caliber team, missing a veteran savvy PG who can read the overall game, we don't have a generational like wemby, we overachieved last year, it's just we're like a top 5-6 team in the west, not second best behind OKC

    Trade the end of our bench (Tate, G League players) for any PG that's out there that can just do their role as a PG.

    We don't have anyone controlling this offense.

    Yeah, I'm done for a bit. Don't mind watching a bad Rockets team struggle. Don't mind watching a chippy mediocre team scrap for wins. But it's too frustrating to watch a team this talented throw away close game after close game against teams they should be blowing out.

    See y'all in a week or so. Maybe even after the New Year. Merry Christmas, everyone!

    I thought the whole point of trading for a 37 year old Durant was to be a “championship contender”.

    Now pls tell me how trading more young players for [insert veteran PG] will actually make us championship contender.

    Yet another disgusting loss.

    Well, bottom feeders are always play hard for top teams to prove something. It’s their Patrick Beverly cup championship so let them have it, we gotta fix Adam resting back to back when he can just play very limited 10 mins to help us out.
