    Also, Terry never trusts the hot hand. Always plays his "safe veterans" in his static rotations.

    If he is hurt, then he should sit. Period. 2 threes for a guy who makes $18 millions? You seriously kidding me?

    Yeah, Stotts has a short leash with Rookies.

    But guess what you can do? You can pull him over to the side and say, hey, next time just shoot that. And then leave him in the game to give him confidence. Instead of taking him out for a simple mistake.

    Fucking christ. Guys like Aminu, Turner and Pat have apparently earned the right to make mistakes over and over and not get pulled for it.

    Pat Connaughton for fucks sake. Why does he deserve this leeway??

    Baldwin was passing up open shots all night and it really breaks our offense when it generates an open look and you pass it off to an even worse shooter. Memphis clearly knew he didn't want to shoot and they were sagging off of him all game. He played well and ended with a good stat line, but his lack of willingness/ability to shoot was clogging up the offense. Can't dump it to Nurk in the post or have CJ drive with that extra defender in there.

    Two things: 1) Kemba Walker hit 10 threes in that game and 2) Once you lose by 61, you start playing harder to not embarrass yourself. They just beat Minnesota. As far as I know, most of you picked us to go 2-1 on this road trip. So there you go. Hopefully, Dame is back on Friday.

    Yup. The only hot hands he rides are Dame and CJ. Idiotic. Baldwin should’ve finished that game. Not only does he not, he puts in that dumpster Pat.

    2-1 on that road trip is still damn good.

    Stotts does some things very well, but other things (Looking at you substitutions and timeout management) he is abysmal at.

    Kinda hard to fault him for this loss, though. At SF he has...ET? I guess he can run Pat there, but Pat is just an awful offensive player. Putting Aminu there wouldn't have helped this game at all, either. Maybe take a chance and run Baldwin there, but Napier was pretty horrific, too. The talent the Blazers put out today (other than CJ and Nurk) wasn't any better than what Memphis ran out.

    Wade was amazing, but other than CJ(except the 4th qtr.), Nurk, and Zac, poor team play.

    Dame may have just texted Paul, "I need more help."
