    You don't have to bring "alcohol" and "irish" in the same sentence. It's like: "I'm going to blame irish and irish for that";)

    Tonight was the PERFECT example of what the problem with this team really is. Found this stat on reddit;

    Dame, CJ, and Nurk scored over 70 of the teams 105 points, had 15 of the 20 assists, half of the steals, and a third of the rebounds and blocks. They also only turned the ball over four times.

    The talent drop off after those three is steep. Not only is there a lack of talent, but there’s a lack of versatility as well. We have too many players with repetitive skill sets.

    Fucking get to work Neil god dammit.

    DeRozan will have his way with us. Just like Jimmy Butler. Neither Dame or CJ have the physique to D up a full sized shooting guard. It's a real problem and one of the reasons I am for trading CJ if we can get back fair value and a better fit.

    He did not build a team,he collected and vastly overpaid a collection of misfits that he calls assets. Just beating a dead horse nowadays.

    The idea that you come to this place for the paycheck and then take a nap, is probably fixed in a lot of free agents minds. That hurts our chances of winning a championship more than anything else. Even just getting them to come to Portland in the first place. Luckily we have guys like Damian and Ed who play their guts out. But I think Turner frankly has a lot of self doubts about whether he's worth the money. That might be affecting his play. When he was hungry he played with his balls to the wall. Now he's got that big house and is set for life. Basketball isn't live or die anymore. Can't say I blame him.

    His numbers are almost identical. He’s actually shooting better now than in Boston. He just doesn’t handle the ball as much, but that’s not surprising considering our backcourt, and that’s not on him.

    I haven't read the thread. Did anyone notice how great Pat C was at playing the point in garbage time?

    I saw that, and I don't have his +/- handy for the BOS lineups, but he was utilized (to my admittedly poor recollection) a lot different in BOS. It seemed a lot more "if we need you, shoot...if not, know your role", especially in his 6MOTY-caliber 2016 season (that got him paaaaaid)
