    The effectiveness of screening actions are still largely based on the personnel involved...

    But yes, we could have Dame screen for guys like Hark and Layman more often....but let's stop acting like Stotts is holding this team back from being the best offensive team in the NBA.

    I'm sure it wasn't. I agree Nurk has been indispensible this year. Esp. On defense.

    Our last four possessions:
    - Skip pass to Dame, missed 3.
    - Throw to Nurk at the elbow, one-on-one, spins into a 10-foot hook, missed.
    - CJ pull-up 3 off pick n roll, missed.
    - Dame dribble up, no passes, drives baseline, missed layup in traffic.

    Every possession since 5 minutes left in the second hasn't had action towards the rim unless it was one-on-one basketball.

    His name sometimes should be C.J. McAllhim.

    Dame cross-screening for either of those guys to cut across the lane than running a zipper screen for Dame would be better than this in terms of trying to create an interior look.

    He is holding this team back. It's fucking obvious.

    - Circular action with a flare and pin down to the perimeter, CJ gets the ball running away from the rim, misses mid-range shot.

    - CJ tries to create by himself towards the rim, misses.

    The refs must be into bestiality because they really screwed the pooch on that Layman block.

    Who knows what our ceiling is. Just trying to open your eyes man. Tired of people making excuses for Stotts.

    Those DAZN commercials have officially replaced the Blazers Outsiders commercials as the worst thing about this season.
