    Nobody gets "up" for every game, but just getting back to the sort of ball movement and spacing they played with on offense last year would go a long way to cleaning things up (along with just a little more urgency).

    with the exception of Kaman/Blake/Starters, the bench played 23 of 248 available minutes. The scrubs didn't play a ton (were actually a positive +/- when they did) and weren't on the court for most of those 14 offensive rebounds. This one's squarely on the starters.

    I agree with that. I just wanted a better rebounding effort. There were way too many "gimmie rebounds" we let slip away. That's the effort im talking about

    We came back, we were hitting shots, we were up 4, looked like possibly we'd blow them out, and then Matthews missed an open three and Kaman missed some easy shots and we lost our momentum. And then, way too late, Lillard turned it on.

    At no point in that game did it look like we were going to blow them out

    The Blazers scored less points then the Kings and then time ran out.

    The problem is painfully obvious.

    Meyers Leonard did not play.

    Can LMA start rebounding? 3.5 rebounds the past two games.. that was typical for Aldridge back in the day, why is it so low again. I hope he steps this up, we could really use him on the boards
