    It probably could be reasoned either way. But, in my experience, and in watching, it seems that less aggressive defense usually shows itself in sagging off of a player, not closing out on a shooter, going under the pick on a pick-and-roll, etc. All of which lead to easier jumpshots.

    The perfect stats are the ones that back your argument!

    How many Blazer games do you think Barkley's sat down and watched?

    All teams are "jump shooting" teams then.

    Don't let a silly thing like "facts" get in the way of an old, oft repeated story.

    Well Barkley did say that Portland lacks a "go-to" guy. And this was right after Roy hit the game winner against Houston

    He was right when he said Denver's gonna own you, didn't he?

    Get ready to eat some humble pie when the Cavs beat you by 15.

    Humble pie? wtf?

    Nearly every sane Blazer fan thinks the chances of a win are highly unlikely tonight.



    Did you enjoy your slice after the L*kers got embarrassed in Portland?

    Then when someone attacks you dont say "dont shoot the messenger" expect the same crap back.

    Then why are you getting mad over Barkley saying what we all know? that you're gonna get ass whopped today?

    Meh, the Ariza foul made it hurt less.
