Odom was good, Luke was decent, and we controlled pace.


Nash is good, Artest is decent, we're running the pace we want, we are getting killed.

well i mean they played with awesome energy and effort but the problem is most of the guys playing tonight just flat out suck. half of them belong in the d-league and the other half are just straight up bad nba players.

This one wasn't so much of a lack on energy, but more a lack of talent.

I don't even think I'll be watching the next few games. It's too hard to watch such unbelievable players like Kobe and Nash have bull on their team and expected to come out and just "do it".

Sucks our coach doesn't give a crap about defense. Everyone is just so lazy in defensive rotations, getting back, etc.

Nope. Mike D'Antoni doesn't care. If they score 120 we need to score 121 and then he'll say that the defense was pretty good but we need to work on our offense...because f*** logic...

This 1000%. We seriously gotta consider bringing in hungry players who can bring some intangibles to the table. I was against getting Delonte West and Kenyon Martin. But of those guys can bring something Darius Morris for example just cant bring. I feel bad for Metta, Kobe and Nash all 3 left it on the court tonight. Even Sacre played hard but the guy isnt that good.

Do we even have a defensive coach on the staff. One that at least teaches that end of the floor?
