    That possession was like a college team playing four guards and one undersized big, can't get rebounds, and always giving up second chance points. Frustrating.

    The bench plays well, like they have tonight they can play with just about anyone. When the bench plays bad its all on Dame or CJ to have big scoring nights and that is their only shot. The bench is holding their own in fact their actually doing well. So thats all good news for the Blazers. Especially now that they took the lid off the basket from defense. Memphis has to extend on their shooters.

    Its been both ways ML and Zach have made plays on or around the offensive glass too. Boxing out really is a lost art!

    Do you want to hear their atats from December? Both are shooting over 48% from 3 and over 55% from the field. Try again.

    This team as currently constructed won't be able to hang with a playoff team in a series.

    :(

    I really thought Layman played well enough as a starter he deserved to be the starting sf. I simoly dont get this Aminu/Harkless thing like Stotts is just in love with that pairing. He sticks to it like its KD and Lebron or something...

    Yep. Layman earned a spot in the rotation... then Harkless comes back and it's back to rigid rotations by stotts. It's maddening.

    This is the story of their entire tenure though, super inconsistant. Sometimes good sometimes not, but really every team basically begs those two to beat them because theyve proven a good portion of the time they cant.

    Their defense is so keyed in. Some of the best help I've seen this year against Dame

    Over the past 7 games, Harkless is playing better than Layman ever was. The people complaining about Harkless right now are kinda ridiculous.
