    Yes that is on the coach, but before you sit him for doing it, you have to actually tell him not to do it. He likes them to do it, and I don't understand why.

    His whole philosophy is to let them play. At times it can unlock some players' potential, which we thought we saw with players like Aminu and Plumlee last season, but the other side is that we have to suffer through players trying to make plays they simply aren't capable of making over and over and he never seems to say anything about it to them.

    Last year 11-20
    This year 12-12

    I'm loving the improvement. Go Blazers. Some of you said you'd prefer close losses to blowout losses so there you go. It's bound to happen. Let's win the next one.

    I blame @HCP. He's rubbing off of them, soon they'll be playing at the level he works at, barely competent.

    Gasol is one of the guys some here say Fabio plays so well. Man, how bad would it have been had he not D'd up and held him to 36 and 9?

    I'm sorry guys, the more i think about this game the more pissed off i am!

    I mean, what's wrong with Terry? can't he see? does he not understand?
    The same SHIT throughout the ENTIRE game:

    - Plumlee was ass on both ends, could do jack shit against Gasol's size and power (and i like Mase, he just had a really bad night and matchup).
    - Aminu jacking up threes with his HORRIBLE form (MUCH rather see Jake put them up with his correct shooting form).
    - Gasol shooting open threes, laughing his ass off while running back on defense.

    I just don't get it, is Terry a real coach? how many practices have these guys skipped?
    This is Knicks defense from 1-3 years ago.

    I would even rather see Billups as new head coach, Pippen as assistant.

    Honestly if this defense doesn't improve Stotts needs to be fired. And I like Stotts. But you can't just be one of the worst defense this league has ever seen. Even though Gasol kept hitting those 3s Plumlee was still sagging back daring him to shoot. It was shocking

    Well that was an enjoyable read. Tough loss last night, ugly game.
    Couple things, wondering if you guys still like that we have aminu instead of Nico.
    I got bashed on here for being such a big fan of Batum, just wondering .
    Also, Dame, fouled the shit out of that guy on the last procession......had he got hit like that while shooting, we'd expect the whistle to blow for sure.

    Actually I am. I think Aminu has more hustle in him than Batum. However I still think he should be on the bench and we need a starter.

    Yes. Aminu needs to come off the bench. Behind Batum. Oops. Too late. ;)

    "Has more hustle in him" What the hell does that mean? I'm talking about results. I could give a damn how hard somebody works, they must get the job done.

    Aminu gets it done in the playoffs.....Batum...not so much...the job is done when the last game is played for the season...Chief just got back from injury...probably was hobbled leading up to it early in the season...he'll be fine.....watch Nico disappear late in the season
