    They double our best defenders and give us fits, we let Nowitski go one on one against a guard. Fuck Terry Stotts defensive strategy. Portland has over-achieved this year, but come the fuck on.

    Our defense is just pathetic. Last 15 games or so, just fucking awful.

    Stotts, don't be mad at the refs. Only YOU are stupid enough to put a 6-4 SG on a 7' PF.

    I know Kareem said Dirk's a One Trick Pony..... but I have to admit, he's a pretty good pony.

    I will never understand the strategy of conceding the switch on Dirk. I think Stotts mentioned somewhere that when he was with Dallas the lowest ppp plays were when Dirk went Iso in the post..... But he didn't Iso in the post against fucking 6 3 guards.

    We used to put Mighty Mouse on Dirk so I think it's a thing.

    In all honesty though, do we have anyone who would even give Dirk fits? He just does his little spin move and he is open on everyone on our players.

    Finally stopped conceding the switch. I mean if you're out of position and have to switch that's one thing. But choosing to switch on every pick and roll is just asinine.

    Aminu has done a great job when he's actually guarding Dirk.

    As usual Wes is awesome with his quick 3 point set shot, and below average with every other shot.

    I know, and it's not just us. He's been doing that for 17 years. He's a HOFer for a reason.
