    So basically if we rely on our less talented offensive players?

    My goodness. Hes been finishing really well all season, but is struggling to finish well in this game. You probably extrapolated one poor game into the common narrative, and got corrected. I dont know.

    We're not passing the ball enough or protecting the ball well enough

    I missed the beginning of the Gm broadcast tonight. How come Mo Harkless isn’t playing?

    Or maybe run:
    Cross-Screens
    UCLA Screens
    Backdoor Screens
    Pin Down to Curls
    Post-Ups to Nurk
    Or simply make the right basket cuts when their there? If only that was established as a priority by the coaching staff.

    None of those things involve talent.

    Yeah. I'm in total agreement. As long as I don't have to go through a creepy exchange like that again.

    They are not playing him on the second of back to backs until they know it won't set him back

    The Blazers have to play better. Memphis isn't going to play like shit the whole game.

    As it always is every time we play Memphis. My question is why do we always seem to get suckered into playing their style of game?

    ISO ball....

    Because this team lacks talent outside Dame/CJ/Nurk.

    I'm seeing just fine.

    What I see is a team dropping their bigs and packing it in and the Blazers have yet to make them pay...

    There's ways to account for that. The offense dictates what happens.
