    Lillard and CJ are going to force some shots. That happens when no one else on the team can dribble and/or create their own shot.

    You said yourself......" Leonard has a bad habit of passing up open shots and it results in someone else having to hoist up a bad shot"

    How is that Lillard or CJ's fault?

    I do agree that the offense works much better when Leonard is on the floor. He is a great target to have when things break down. The fact that he can shoot from all spots on the floor is huge. I agree he needs to shoot more, and that will come in time IMO. Crabbe is coming along nicely as well.

    There are no free agents really worth the time (minus the unrealistic ones like durant) so might as well keep this group together, keep the pick, and just trust Olshey can find a third scorer in the draft, even if it's not a top 5 pick. I trust he can.

    Damn I'm so stoked about that win. Where are all the Dame Haters? He came up huge in the clutch tonight.

    Crabbe is an excellent shooter, always under control, knows what he's doing and what he have to do, and seems to be starting to add shot creation to his game.
    On top of that, he's a good defender.

    Why isn't he playing more ?

    So much depth. It's a curse.

    Blazers suck at tanking. Players don't want to lose their job to Simmons. Stotts has his work cut out for him.

    Well, Stotts has prepared his notebook a few months ago and in that notebook he determined that Crabbe should not play big minutes.
