The Meltdowns are many right now. Pretty much about that #3 pick the Blazers wouldn't trade to keep Lillard. I'm on record wanting that pick traded for players that would help Lillard. I'm on record not wanting to give Grant all that money. I'm also on record wanting Nurk gone. (Can't be right all the time).
I assume this is where we talk about getting outscored 26-2 over the final 8 minutes of a game, yeah?
You know? It was almost like you knew they weren't going to score? I was watching every open look they had bounce off various parts of the Backboard, Rim, Goal standard. Sometimes nothing at all?
That's what happens when you have guys who don't pass the ball in at crunch time. The defense knows what's up, so those guys get off balance, contested looks, and they are playing Hero Ball. But they aren't good enough players to do that, so you swap the H for a Z...
Yeah gotta let the kids shoot and if they miss then they can live with it. If they make it they gain a bunch of confidence.
Missing also gives them incentive to work on that situation to be better prepared in the future. All good
It's where the fire is started. You get them wanting to get another chance to be great. Then you give it to them.
the kids will get their chance. Cronin has big plans this trade deadline. If the Blazers get draft picks, they win. That final score thing, watching the opponents high fiving & happy during victory... it's all fake.
Since we're not a 3 pt shooting team can we just stop trying to be one with a game on the line? Also, hire a Mark Price as a free throw coach or something, seems like we miss half of them.
That’s part of the problem. Without having a 3 point threat they guard the paint. Last game they had multiple good looks from three because of that issue.
Obviously in six weeks we'll at least have Ant back, but if we want to compete, we will need a real JJ Redick style long bomber you can stick in at the right time.
