I hated being right, this team cannot play a full game, let alone, a full quarter of defensive basketball. They need to have a moment of reality and dig deep within and call in Dr. Phil or something. I am not making the same old excuse of it being a bunch of new guys or LBJ's first game back, these cats are professionals and if they can't find a way to defend, its on them.
I did see some aggressiveness from LBJ and Smith combined that I absolutely am salivating over when this squad find's a rhythm. Smith will shoot unconsciously and this squad needs that off the bench.
Sigh, a team of this caliber below .500 in mid January. Seriously, this is kind of embarrassing and should have never came to this. All I gotta say is while its disappointing, it's still a work in progress and they just made that progress a tad longer with the recent moves.
If this team loses to the Lakers on Thursday, I am burning this place down...that's for sure.
