    Nope it's pretty much everyone but I Jones was labeled as a great defender and he's been very underwhelming on his weakside rotations.

    CJ, Trent, Hood, Collins, Giles.

    That's what we need.

    Here's the crazy thing about our defense. The two weakest spots are the 3 point line and directly underneath the hoop. How in the world is that even possible??? How many teams in the NBA right now are killing teams with midrange jumpers and floaters. How can the front office not see what every arm chair quarterback can?

    we are well past the idea that schemes are playing a role. much of this first half was strictly lack of effort. And coaching does play a role in that, esp when there's no accountability

    yeah, nice mind set to have going into a very tough early schedule, Utah is probably drooling

    To be fair @THE HCP called this shit.

    I mean at least @Darkwebs gets the teams, location, city pics, game time and TV broadcast right but John did tell us this would happen.

    I know, it's either a lay up drill for the other team or wide open 3's - only in Stotts defense and these slack defenders

    I HATE PRESEASON! I think I'm never going to watch another preseason game. I know it doesn't matter, but I'm always starving for basketball and we always just suck and I get all negative.

    Because our helpside rotations suck. Either we're overhelping, underhelping, committing two, or ball watching while Denver cuts.

    79 point first half. On a real team heads would roll. Team is soft

    Honestly, if this is how the team is playing 10 games into the season, they have to fire stotts.

    I agree for maybe defense but offense if CJ going take majority of the shots without getting other involved you still going be on loosing end.
