    I honestly hope for more from him than that. I don't think he's as quick, but I think he's a heady player who can help you in some ways Terry couldn't. I think the key for him is learning to lull defenders into his pace and then changing gears ... that can trump his athletic shortcomings.

    The guy on each side tried to engage him and he just mumbled and didn't turn his head toward them.

    It's because Lillard is in the house.

    That would be my hope as well. I like some of things from him. Like to see him bring his percentage up. Think he misses a lot of shots maybe he shouldn't.

    I choose to think these two along with TRob is why Neil has had an abysmal offseason. He's giving them a chance and giving the team a chance to build chemistry. Kinda like the Spurs.

    Ever since Meyers Leonard stopped being on the SL team, it has made a 180° turnaround from last summer.

    If Motiejunas could do this stuff during the regular season, he'd be a real nice player for Houston.

    He needs to drive more. He seems to be taking a lot of threes, whereas last summer he got a lot of drives.

    Crabbe just floats a lot. He needs to be way more active as a shooter. He should be running off screens.

    That was either a foul or a block, but either way it should have been our ball.
