Have no idea what the **** the defense is doing....

That was one of the worst defensive halfs I've seen from us. Brutal effort on that end. And then when we do have good possessions, we do something stupid with 3 seconds left and give up a Jeff Green dunk (puke) or a Harden back cut.

Davis with the matador defense because of the 2 fouls. I expect him to pick it up in the second half.

They're clearly letting Harden have a lane rather than letting hit 3s... Smart actually... Reverse letting the non-shooter shoot 3s.

Now only if AD was rotating to protect the paint like he's supposed to... Or only if LeBron actually felt like contesting a shot now and then.

Caruso and Kuzma get zero respect from the refs on defense. Some bull calls this half.

AD and LeBron have to commit to contact in the paint. And if they're going to foul Harden or Westbrook, make it a hard foul.

I don't understand the lack of intensity from our team lately... All our junkyard dogs have been neutered.

If AD isn't going to play defense today, we need to have Dwight Howard get some run at C.

Just don't start McGee in the second half. The way they're shooting and the way we're playing defense we cannot let them get a big lead...

Lebron is cooking with 29 first half points. Both him and AD shooting a ludicrous 71.4% from the field.

Yeah, can't believe I'm agreeing with Barkley. Keep McGee out of the rest of the game. If we really wanna start a big guy, start a guy like Howard who's an offensive rebounder.

This game is being played right into the Rockets hands. Fast paced, lots of transition opportunities which has the Lakers scrambling on defense. We gotta slow the game down and lock in on defense. Some of the rotations that we missed that half are inexcusable.

This is scary... Barkley is making sense...

It's really annoying. When Eric Gordon got those free throws when he was spinning around and falling backwards at the bucket, that was ridiculous.

Shhhhh.. keep it on the down low fam.

I also don't understand why Kuzma played only 8 minutes. Especially with McGee and Danny Green being awful.

Great turnover to start...

The shooting on this team is so **** bad...
