    Meh, sometimes we run an iso-heavy offense and we score lots of points. Sometimes, our iso-heavy offense kills us (especially in playoffs).

    Either way, it's still crappy offense.

    I totally agree with wanting a new coach and GM. Im also more and more over the CJ and Dame experiment. Id like to see CJ!!!!moved for Otto Porter Jr or some wing that can shoot.

    Edit meant to say CJ

    The problem with the 2nd unit there no play maker. I know they want Turner to be it but when he running the offensive everything is really slow to get in the offensive. Nik occasionally looks decent and Curry he more scorer. So there really know flow. Defensely they actually play decent to help get within 9 points but one bad pass by Collins the whole unit pull.

    I really don’t feel comfortable with keeping Stotts around long enough to break Dr Jacks win record. If I’m remembering my numbers right that could happen by the end of next season

    I'd like to see Collins inserted into the starting 5 next to Nurk. If Harkless pouts again adios. And the bench needs to set more screens to get Curry open.

    He seems to be a good dude and he has been a good Blazer in terms of just being a good dude. Unless Dame goes super saiyan and wins them a championship this year I dont know how they could bring him back...

    20/20 cricket is the best form of cricket for a novice to watch, and learn the game. It’s the shortest form of the game, with matches only going for about three hours. It’s full of big hitting, and wickets (outs). The best 20/20 competitions are the Indian Premier League (starts soon) and the Australian Big Bash (on now).

    It’s so obvious this version of the blazers has gone stale. It’s the same inconsistent cycle over and over again and nothing ever changes.

    Ramsay won 453 games as a Blazer coach, which is 162 more than Stotts at 291. Pretty safe to say that Stotts won't get there, IMO

    Our GM is afraid to make a move..we can't attract free agents..we don't have cap room..we don't have a high draft pick..I'll still watch every game for the rest of my life but fuck I want a championship

    I actually hope he does get past Dr. Jack. That would most likely mean the team is having success. I just think the team needs more talent at forward.

    We do need to make a trade, either an upgrade at the F position or some consistent bench scoring. We are basically counting on ETs ugly turnaround fading 12 footers to keep us in the game when the starters are out. I don’t like those odds.

    Test match cricket is an art form. It’s the purest form of the game, and is as much a mental battle as one of skills. There’s so many nuances. Plus you can get away with telling the missus you’ll do something when the cricket’s finished, and do it five days later.

    Patience is a tough thing. I do think Neil is contemplating moves to help further strengthen the team. The Ownership sitch could end up being a problem though.

    He'll also never make it anywhere near the HOF; college or pros.
