Even if the Pels win this game, they are so bad it's embarrassing you can have this talent on paper and they can't use it.

What a pathetic quarter. Whole team should be ashamed.
Basketball.
Naji getting cooked this whole entire 2nd half and Willie won't bench him. Wtf
We desperately need another top 5 pick
This game was house money. As long as we keep pushing Lakers down
I'm trying to figure out how tf are we gonna lose to a 2 win team.
Again.
Who cares if we need energy and loudness from the crowd to win. Just win baby
CJ can’t shoot from 3 so why is he?
Eric Gordon has never fouled anyone in his life.
This game is so weird. First, second, fourth, we dominate them. Third, we randomly just get mown down. This should be a 20+ point blowout based on 36 of the minutes - hell, more than that, on like 42 of the minutes. Just a dreadful run to give up in the third.
Obvious names aside, big props to Jose tonight. Really important player on this team so far this year. We're just better when he's on.
Saw Zion fighting for and getting some key defensive boards under 4 min in this game. Very good to see that. You could tell he was feeding off of Jose's energy and wanted to match it on D.
Pels are 7-6, keeping their heads above water. Next game is against the 9-4 Grizzlies, which is obviously a much larger challenge than the Rockets.
I guess the good news is that while the Grizz are 5-1 at home, they're only 4-3 on the road? We'll see how that goes.
Last year Garrett Temple is this year Naji Marshall. He was a statue all 2nd half and he was getting cooked on defense. If Naji is getting 5+ minutes. He's a detriment to winning. The game quickly turns to 4 on 5 basketball the longer he stays in and it doesn't help that they put him in a line up that's just putrid on defense and has an ice cold CJ laying bricks
Why can’t Dyson play more? Give him some of CJs minutes.
In no way, shape, or form has Naji's play been anywhere close to Garrett Temple last year. Like AT ALL. He has not played "putrid" defense. Most NBA players will get "cooked" a few plays by Houston's back court.
But even tonight he at least got a steal, and sparked two buckets with assists in the lane.
Like seriously...wtf
It seems to be a mental battle with this team right now. The dumb unforced turnovers continue.
The brain dead passes. Get completely confused by zone defense. And it seems to crop up against teams they should easily beat on paper.
I guarantee you they'll look like a focused top 4 team Tuesday against Memphis....because it's Memphis and not Houston or Indiana.
