    Was it the previous game he made a mistake and Chauncey took him out after he got very little run and he came out looking disgusted. I don't think he even acknowledged Billups going to the bench and I don't recall if he went back in. I wonder if he said something and got benched as a result.

    call a timeout. That is just stupid coaching. Now it's as good as over.

    To be fair, when our defense gives up, the other team can go from 6 to 14 in nothing flat.

    same guy knocking down back to back to back 3s you call a timeout and address it.....Chauncey has not coached a very good end game more often than not.....not all on him but he's gotta control the game better than he is if they want to grind out wins..8 minutes 51 seconds without making a shot....you address that

    I wouldn't disagree with that. Just saying that when our defense goes they give up a lot of points fast.

    Simons has gotta sit. His defense is allowing all of this to happen

    His 0 assists says he can’t pass very well either

    He's saaaawwwwfffft. He's athletic enough but he doesn't like contact. He should get to the line on every drive but he's too finesse.

    That's why he's infinitely tradeable. As much promise as he has, he can't stay in front of anybody, and we already have several other guards who defend that way. He also shoots 1 FT a game.

    Powell might be just as bad as CJ defensively. It’s crazy.

    He really is. He's fading away any time he drives and sees a potential defender coming to contest.

    All of our guards are so bad defensively. It’s one thing if it’s just Dame and CJ, but how can you survive 48 minutes of terrible guard defense each game?

    Look at that possession for Memphis. They had their pick of about three shots better than anything the Blazers fire up.

    Good spacing. Good ball movement. Got the ball up the court quickly so they had time on the shot clock. They didn't even have to move well without the ball. Just got the Blazers scrambling and the Blazers stopped and it's an easy 3.
