Wiggins falling asleep in transition as Ariza outruns him. All the warts are starting to show up for each of our players! (Except KAT's defense....unusually good tonight).

That last series further illustrates what I've been saying about our offense. Butler starts with a contested two after no passes. Then he takes another contested two after one pass, resulting in a non shooting foul. Then Teague dribble without purpose while absolutely none of his teammates move or cut. Seriously, nobody moved. Then Teague takes a terrible two-point mid-range floater. Yes, a mid-range floater. Doesn't catch iron and then the Rockets immediately score on a fast break dunk. This last series was also a good example of how our offense actually makes our defense look worse than it is.

Yes, KAT's defense is the one bright spot tonight. I'm pleased that it's carried over into the second half. He's overwhelmed on the offensive end. At this level against a championship caliber team, he's not ready to dominate in isolation.

No transition defense again. Nice pass by Towns to Gibson. Great to see someone move off the ball -- in that instance it was Gibson.

What was Teague doing? TEague can't leave Chris Paul to double Harden at the three-point line.

He doesn't have to guard anyone on this team. All he has to do is defend the ocassional P N R. He should look good on D agains this offense

Ya all he is being asked to do is sag off massively and then wall up.

Another Teague travel. He has four turnovers. $19 million a year for three years. Wow.

Cant watch the game, but going by this thread Wiggs is the single biggest reason we are getting blown out.

Social media will be out for his head tonight.... again.

Where did you get that. He has been our best player (not like that is saying a lot)
