    Good loss. No reason why they can't play like that every night, and if they do, they will win a lot of games. But we still need a center really bad. Second chance points is what killed us the most.

    Again, these close losses I can handle... Nice fight, guys!

    Wheels just went to town on the clippers, and it was all true: "And only Connaughton and Napier shake hands with Chris Paul. Anyone who played 48 minutes against the clippers wouldn't shake hands with them. The clippers don't play with sportsmanship."

    He said a little more than that about clips and the lack of it with which they play. I loved it. Because it's true.

    No one on this team has a single clue what to do in a tough defensive situation. None of the players or the coaches understand. It's time for a complete rehaul of the defensive identity and it starts with bringing in SOMEONE (player or otherwise) who actually has a clue as to how to play team defense.

    I could stomach these close road losses a lot easier if the score was 97 to 98. This team is D'Antoni bad.

    Just clueless. It's like they keep doing the same thing and making the same braindead mistakes and wondering why it isn't working. They believe what they're doing is correct, even if the results are saying something completely different.

    I didn't see a problem with the defense. I saw a problem on the boards.
