    @wizenheimer keeps saying CJ isn't in a slump, this is just who he is.

    Terry's robo-rotations. Jake is always moving without the ball. He needs to play more. Period.

    He's been worse than normal this year in terms of passing, rebounding, defending, and 3pt shooting.

    His stellar 2pt shooting doesn't make up for that.

    To hell with BlazersEdge. I stopped reading SB blogs over a year ago, and I don't regret it at all.

    Denver leads in every category except bench points. I hope our bench stays hot.

    Just sucks... His 2016-2017 season, he had 23ppg, on 48/42/91 splits (.585 TS%), as well as 3.6apg (Not good but not terrible).

    I miss that.

    Because Stotts is a robot.

    We have a very stagnant offense, and Jake is great at moving without the ball, and is a lob threat backdoor as well as a good threat off the curl or flaring out to 3. He's a good option in transition. He helps unstagnate our offense...

    But nah, we have Turner out there to end the quarter with the starters...

    Terry is so bipolar when it comes to his coaching style.

    I'm Bi-polar I. Trust me my friend. Terry's coaching style does not encompass the psychological traits of that horrible condition.

    Probably because he didn't shoot over 50% from both the field and 3pt line last game. So he's getting punished.

    I'm bipolar too. Same with my father. I meant no offense; it was just a criticism of his coaching style.

    So which is it robostyle or bipolar. Not much chance of being both?

    Just seems to be struggling to get the ball to the rim... It's so weird. He's missed front-rim a lot on his 3s this season, but he's fine from mid-range.

    Needs to release the ball a millisecond earlier when he's going upwards slightly faster which would transfer a bit more power into the ball. I think this is the problem, he's releasing the ball too late. Sometimes he misses left/right because (IMO) he's straining his upper body to try to force the ball all the way to the rim, when instead he needs to fix his timing.

    When he's shot well, it seems to me like he's releasing the ball a little bit earlier, and getting more power from his legs.

    They should just show him a scan of Bortles' brain.
