    If we are going to lose, lose big. It's time to clear house this summer, starting with Stotts. We need a truly putrid showing to get changes made to this team.

    It's not the number of points we are down that is getting to me, it's how we are playing. We look like shit. Memphis isn't doing anything special, we are just pissing down our legs and look uninspired.

    He won't. He didn't take over when he got denied All Star game. He didn't take over when Aldridge got hurt. And he's not taking over now.

    It's nobody's fault but Lillard's. He's letting everyone down.

    Aldridge, RoLo, and Leonard are playing great and ZBo is 0/6. Not everyone is pissing down his leg.

    We're not playing our best. Lillard and CJ can't shoot.

    Whatever happened to our offense where we'd enter to LMA in the post, have him back down and kick out and then swing the ball around to the weak side for an open shot? That was our bread/butter LAST SEASON and we haven't really seen it since. I do recall that it got scouted pretty well by the end of the 13/14 season, but it's been long enough that it'd probably catch MEM by surprise for a couple of possessions.

    It's not Stotts' fault that Lillard is blowing it.

    He looks mind fucked. Just throwing up shitty fadeaways from 20+ feet for no reason. He needs to find that zone where he's not forcing it, but he's not going totally passive either. Seems he used to be praised for not letting guys push him out of his pace, but he's doing it this game at least.

    We're outshooting them and outrebounding them.

    True. But then we have Lillard, CJ, Batum, Blake all getting lit up and bricking wide open shots. Those guys get paid to make open shots :(

    They need to take the ball to the rim, not settle for outside shots. That's the only way they get back in this game.
