    This team is playing some seriously bad basketball right now.

    I'd rather have LaMarcus take every damn shot than see the garbage jumpers the rest of the team is taking.

    Nothing like getting your ass kicked at home two games in a row during the playoff push.

    I'm hoping for some major adjustments at halftime.

    I'm not really blaming Brandon, because I don't think he's probably even aware that he's doing it (hopefully!) but he doesn't even look at LA in the post.

    I don't see it. The double teams are tearing him up though.

    You know for supposedly having "good defenders" in Matthews, Batum, Wallace, Aldridge, and Camby we are certainly a shitty defensive team.

    I know. I'd rather have him try to get fouled than see the desperation shots the guards are getting.

    Well he'll probably end up turning it over...

    It's usually not a good idea to force up shots that aren't there.

    Still 4 shots attempts for LMA is almost criminal. If there's no 2nd half adjustments to get him open, it's on Nate.

    A few problems...

    1. Rockets ridiculous shooting start.
    2. Too many dumb turnovers.
    3. LMA getting doubled, and us not taking advantage
    4. Wallace not knowing the offense (bigger than most people realize I think)

    4 isn't something that can be helped, but the other three can all be potentially different in the second half with small adjustments. Heck, Houston's shooting already cooled off a bit.

    Holy fuck. This is embarrassing. I'm officially concerned about our ability to make the playoffs.

    Behind the back pass to Budinger for the jam should count for ten points.

    Trading Cunningham has destroyed chemistry.
