Second team ineptitude.

These are some of the dominos falling from Nene's absence.

When we aren't good on defense, we foul a lot, don't get stops and subsequently can't get out on the break.

Compounding that is that in our half court sets, we don't have any real beef ... hump is a perimeter player, so we can't go inside, outside.

Our second team, without Hump is not great.

Nene drives me crazy at times, but without him, our chances of winning games like this one are significantly diminished.

The fact that this team relies on Nene's defense is incredibly infuriating, especially given the fact that he's been pretty horrible offensively so far. I wish EG would trade him for somebody like Ilyasova, I really do, but he'll never do it.

Also, Randy's aversion to playing small ball throughout all of this has been INFURIATING. He waited until the game was out of hand to match Atlanta, and he played Pierce all of 2 minutes at the 4 against the Cavs. When you watch them go small, you can tell that a lot of guys don't know where to go and are mostly free styling, which tells me that Randy doesn't even devote sufficient practice time to running a small lineup. **** makes me want to puke. It's really really telling that all of our losses (save one) so far have been BLOWOUTS against teams that place a premium on floor spacing. We don't have an elite post presence to take advantage of a teams lack of size, so there's little point in continuing to attempt to bully (and fail) against teams, either that or he swaps out players with the exact same skill set and try to get a hot hand. Randy's response to this so far has been "herp derp work harder". This old school approach isn't good enough to win at this level. Sure, we'll get by based on the talent we have in a weak conference, but if we run into Cleveland or Toronto we are going to get SLAUGHTERED. I'm not sure we'd even make the playoffs in the West.

Two game losing streak and the Ersan fanclub is back in full force.
