    Not really. You can get scored on and still play good defense.

    The players are playing lousy on National TV so they won’t get traded.

    It's getting to the point you have to think it is intentional.

    Why is Turner playing? If Stotts gives Hood's minutes to Layman instead of Turner, the 'Fire Stotts' thread is getting bumped.

    All he's got to do to be an average defender is stop jumping as high as he can every time he sees a pump fake. The scouting report is obviously out on him. Everyone pump fakes him and drives right by.

    The Blazers are allowing the Heat to dictate the tempo of the game. Feels like a L

    The bench is 6 for 17. Shouldve let Hood play because it's not like were running any sort of competent offensive system...

    Let's hope that by some miracle this is his last game with Blazers.

    We wouldn’t be playing him if it was. We’d be like, “he’s good, trust us”.
