    Saying this for years
    This is what I was talking about in the Hood trade threat. We have a tendency to become nothing but a jump shooting team. We settle. We have no P-n-R tonight. We aren't getting to the basket and consequently aren't getting to the line. We can't sustain runs and we have nothing to slow down Miami's runs.

    From that perspective, a guy like Hood could be an asset, because he has the size and length to post up and he can slash to the basket a bit.

    Dont really care who you are playing, could be the goddamn knicks, if you allow them to shoot 60% from the field you are NEVER winning that game. We are rushing everything offensively and they are taking their time and getting whatever they want.

    No defensive adjustments from Stotts this ENTIRE GAME. Switching screens or letting the ball handler get downhill towards a sagging big every time. Condtant layups for Miami and NO adjustments. Its pathetic. Lck of adjustments pushes me off so bad man.

    A message needs to be sent. Either bench everyone and let the rooks play or someone needs to get that technical to get them going. This is inexcusable because this is simply a lack of effort.

    Switched it off. Pathetic all the way around. I waited 5 days for this horseshit.

    We just don't do well against lengthy athletic teams that move the ball. And it's going to continue to be a problem as long as we have this coach and this roster.

    I dont think its effort. 2 guys are monopolizing the offense, everyone else is disinterested

    Nothing like getting blown out by an eastern conference team on national television.

    You’d think that eventually this team would have to find enough guts to mount a comeback win. They haven’t shown a single sign of that tonight, but maybe eventually? Right? Right?

    That's why I laughed when the 'announcers' said the Blazers would could out in the 2nd half with adjustments. What a joke!

    Honestly this could be said about everyone one of our players not named Jake/CJ. Everyone else is looking lethargic like they had been out drinking all night.

    So I say "false", you ironically call me confrontation and immature for that, then you hypocritically tell me to relax when you're in your feelings talking about PMs you sent me because you're in your feelings because I said false.

    Right.

    It's a lack of having a playbook. Can one send a message to ones self? Even if you can, I don't think Stotts has the self awareness necessary.
