    They don't get paid to be smart, researched people... or actually watch the games.

    1) You're talking past tense when that's not applicable.

    2) He had a bad start, but he's come around lately... He'll be okay.

    Another 40 point quarter. Oh sorry 38 points.
    Getting really annoying to watch Portland make the same mistakes over and over again.
    Not contesting 3 point shots.
    Not fighting over screens.
    Careless turnovers.
    Has been happening all year.

    Getting real old.

    I think he would be a decent addition to any team..... "if he wasn't given such a big contract."
    But that reads like our entire offseason. The pressure obviously hasn't helped him.

    Are we watching the same game? In the first quarter, we blitzed or hedged almost every ball screen and it was very effective. In the second quarter our bigs stood in the paint and watched our guards get picked and subsequently watched LA players get easy looks. Its the other way around. When our defense sucks, our offense can't get established. When our defense is good, it sets up our offense to take advantage.

    Blazers have beaten the Lakers 8 straight times. But the Lakers saw this defense and immediately got energized.
