    So the Bucks shot 50% from 3s. Clearly, CJ is too short to cover the perimeter.
    At some point, they might not want to leave players standing all alone at the 3 pt line just so they can help out on a player attacking the basket.

    Pay refs better and the 3s become a foot on the line 2s!

    Dwight was trying to tell Stotts that Nas is so talented, but he doesn't realize it.

    Same narrative he had with Meyers & Stotts.

    I wish Meyers had been able to make decisions quickly like Nassir seems to be able to. Meyers is in his 9th year and STILL makes the sense slow to react mistakes.

    That has happened in almost every post game interview. Even in wins.

    Stotts said that holding players accountable on defense is just a “catchphrase.”

    This is not a joke.

    The excuse that our perimeter D sucks is because our guards are short has been an absurd topic for years.
    Our perimeter D sucks because Terry has everyone leave their man to help out with players either attacking the basket or posting up.
    That strategy only works when the other team can't shoot threes. Not many of those teams anymore.

    The entire league is building around the three point shot and Terry is like “I like my odds.”

    Yep, instead of letting players defend others 1 on 1, they double needlessly and repeatedly, and leave players WIDE fucking open for 3.

    So, somebody asked him if he believed in holding players accountable for defensive lapses?

    Meyers is now with coach considered one of the best in the league and can't even see the court. Let's hope Little is better.

    this is cringe worthy



    dwight jaynes asked an idiotic question. terry did what he usually does.

    the idea that "melo has earned the right to play through a shooting slump" is annoying as hell. No he really hasn't. Not here in Portland.

    And the accountability response... ugh

    Yup. Jason Quick flat out asked him how he held players accountable on defense and that was how he responded.
