    One thing I am not a fan of is with Kanter in the game, cuts and shots for Jake seem to have all but disappeared. The Blazers don't even look for him anymore and if he cuts to the basket, Kanter's defender is always right in the paint. The one good game he as had recently was went Kanter was out against the Raptors.

    Kanter is unplayable in the Playoffs

    well Jake has 3 quick fouls...I think that has an impact..he got 3 fouls in 6 minutes and bricked his one 3pt attempt

    Yes, I'm aware of the fouls. But reference a much bigger stretch of games than just the last 24 minutes.

    We just got lazy with the cutting and passing. Forcing stuff now.

    I want to see them just clear a side and let Dame/Nurk run pick and roll.

    fair enough but Rodney Hood earned his touches and Enes did as well...it's part of getting them into the groove in my view more than ignoring Jake...feed the hot hand...can't argue with the results so far

    Damn they are being way too careless with the ball and making stupid lazy high ball turnovers trying for highlight plays. At least a half dozen or so and that no look from Dame to Nurk was the worst, just make the simple plays and they will beat this Memphis team.

    Again, bigger picture. Jake was playing much better than both of them and then when they arrived, his opportunities immediately started to diminish. He was very good the one game Kanter was back out and then is back to limited looks. Hood has had 2 good games and a lot of meh other wise.

    I'm just worried that whatever deal Olshey made with Kanter's agent in terms of playing time will hurt the Blazers come the playoffs when movement is even more key and Kanter's defense will be even more exposed.

    Why are we messing around with this team? Just focus and get separation.
