    We have probably taken more long twos than the entire rest of the league so far.

    I had to check. Utah 21 to Portland's 19. The eye test definitely deceives in this situation.

    Time to tighten up the rotation. I don’t see minutes for Hood, Melo, or Kanter(once Collins returns).

    Dame/CJ
    CJ/Trent
    DJJ/Trent
    RoCo/Giles
    Nurk/Collins

    That’s your 8 man, sprinkle in Nas and Simons when needed.

    Melo with the forceful elbow to the ribs, refs let it go because we’re so far behind.

    To me the issue is that Utah can defend one on one and Portland can't. There is no defensive scheme that can overcome a team with 4 people who can't defend one on one.

    we are good at getting the one pass to a shooter who dribbles twice and makes a jumper assist

    Giles should be getting every single one of his minutes off the bench. But Stotts doesn't want to hurt his feelings so here we are.

    You should compare film from 18-19 with the first 5 games in 20-21. You should be able to see a difference.

    If the Melo/Kanter/Hood lineup makes another immediate appearance at the start of the next game I'm going to fucking riot.

    The Melo Kanter front court is hilarious.

    This team is giving the Telfair/Ha team a run for their money for the worst blazer team I have ever seen.
