    Starting? I've been there. The team fundamentally doesn't know how to play defense and the coach has continued to do nothing to address it for seasons on in.

    The game is over if Dame sits to start the fourth. What do you do?

    Has there ever been a 9-7 team that comes off more like a lottery team than the Blazers do?

    Because the fact that they're the 5th best team (record wise) in the WC, yet feel like they're barely in most of the games, is sad.

    It feels like last years team that just won't ever turn the corner.

    Our three main bench scorers are now starting because of injury.

    Because when we get a lead, everyone on the Blazers thinks it's going to be easy and starts chucking. Then we forget what we did that got us the lead in the first place and think we have to keep chucking to get back into it.

    Hood as know lateral quickness at all probably due to his the surgery on Achilles. But I see with this unit out there we really don't have any size and the ones that does they move like 80 year old men.

    It seems to surprise them every time. Coaches need to stop tolerating it.

    You are not allowed to enjoy any part of this game! Focus on the negatives!

    Oh boy. 2 out of our 5 current starters. That's a bigger percentage than you're letting on.
