    Another L. I cant see Lillard playing like that. CJ is way better Defender and playmaker also more efficient

    If you could trade Lillard and McCollum for Russell Westbrook, would you?

    I think something behind the scenes might be going on between the players.

    Maybe this group isn't as tight as we thought? There playing like shit! Sometimes it looks like some players if not all aren't trying as hard as they could be.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Pretty insightful take. Maybe! Who knows, right? I mean, anything's possible and your guess is as good as mine. Could this have something to do with Trump, maybe? Or maybe not, but they sure are playing badly!

    Name names. I can't think of one person who isn't trying hard.

    Had a chance to win? We lose every game that comes down to one clutch shot. The 76ers, Warriors, and Mavs are all examples of that. Detroit, Phoenix, Memphis, the first Mavericks home game. Even when we tied it I still knew we were gonna lose.

    We can't pull out games anymore and that's probably due to Lillard.

    Stott's needs to set a rotation and stick with it. If he is going to have guys start then have them play starter minutes. He needs to choose between Meyers, Davis, and Vonleh, one of them needs to leave the rotation. The team cannot play consistently with an erratic rotation.

    We have lost our identity this season. Last season our identity was clear 360 degrees. This year I don't know who we are
