Re: Houston, we have a problem

I don't think it's a lack of talent. We have talent. We see it offensively. Could we use more talent? Of course. But that's not the problem right now. It's a lack of effort. If we score 91 points every game, we should go 31-0. Defense isn't always fun. It requires digging in and grinding........effo...
