Can we play defense or no? I thought Clifford was supposed to be good at teaching that.

Whole org has a lame duck stink on it. I don't think anyone from ownership down to the ballboys give a single **** about winning anything this season

+1

I am truly sorry for the posters here that thought we'd get 40+ wins. This is a loser organization. They got hoodwinked again

This has been my impression. New ownership wants to "see what they've got". I wouldn't expect any moves that add finances, they'll pick a new front office/coach/etc when these guys are off the books.

I want more Mark on the court, bugger small ball.

Please end Clifford’s second stint before we throw away a season before the all-star break. Defense ain’t gonna magically improve with Miles comes back. Clifford doesn’t have a clue how to use Williams defensively and it shows

This was a bad loss.

Our defense was especially bad, letting Houston shoot nearly 60% from 3.

They had 35 assists on 44 made shots. Half of which were 3's.

If the FO insist this is a playoff team if healthy, then they better do something sooner rather than later.

My bally still isn't working. Is yours

Yep, was able to get it working at beginning of Q3

Mines still screwed. To hell with this.

lol, everyone is getting fired soon! we are a trash fire.

Yeah so I think the "really good defense" we played against Atlanta was really a product of them missing so many wide open 3's. In reality we are just a really bad defensive team

Cody Martin would help but he's probably played his last NBA game.

"The thing that obviously stands out is the readiness to start the game and in the third quarter. We’re down double digits early again. We shot 50 percent from the field and 41 percent from 3-point on the road and lost." - Coach Clifford

Clifford citing readiness. Isn’t that a coaching problem?

Our defensive tactics are currently:
1. Corner trap
2. Zone and pray
3. Play Mark Williams

Optimistically, maybe Cody helps soon. They can't rely on Miles. How long until Ntilikina is back?

Anyone know of any other way to watch the games other than the Bally sports app?

The Zone and Pray is classic Cliff. Kills me.

Seriously. Not like this is a new/recent development in his second tenure here.
