    I have issues with Turner/Harkless/Aminu jacking threes.
    But I more have an issue with the defense portland is playing with those three out there.
    They should be much better defensively with those three on the court. Specifically the two who start.
    Right now though they aren't. And it's far from the guards fault. Our forwards aren't living up to the defensive expectations most of the time.

    Crabbe hasn't lived up to his contract either. Incredible

    We didn't like him last game either. He had 4 turnovers. Everyone but you can see it.

    More to the game than occasionally shooting well. I don't understand why you're choosing this particular hill to die on.

    Because out of everyone who is playing like shit, and the list is fucking loooooong, people are choosing to go after the guy who is new and still learning the system.

    That's why.

    I give Turner one thing- he had a critical 3 point play in the fourth quarter of opening night. Otherwise, he's been awful. Why do you defend him, Nate? I'll shut up and listen to your argument.

    I would of rather turner not be on this team and develop layman. He looks promising as fuck. Get him minutes. Just like we did with cj and crabbe and developed them. I'm over turner, even when he plays great, it does the team bad. Layman would have an impact

    Because he's had the ball in his hands a lot and the majority of the time he does, we look like shit. He's not just not playing well, like Crabbe. He's visibly fucking our shit up on both ends.
