    Holy shit aminu.
    You weren't even engaged with drummond. You just stood there and watched the layup. Guy could've passed to Drummond too.
    What exactly does it take for this guy to lose minutes?????

    Things is, our transition defense should be GREAT with this lineup. Layman, Harkless, & Aminu are all switchable. Plus, they're playing 3 guards so they're switchable w/ Dame to an extent.

    Jake needs to wake up. He's looked really lost lately. That really concerns me.

    Harkless and Aminu not slowing Griffin down I would try Zach on him. Because it's layup for Griffin right now.

    The lineup combinations for both teams should make it very easy for Portland to guard the closest Detroit player in transition without getting mismatched.

    That's not a zero on Dame's jersey, it's a bullseye!

    Just put Zach in and see if he can make it hard on Blake, Aminu obviously can't.

    I hate that we're in "we can't lose this game" territory. This time of year, when the blossoms turn pink, and we get a few 60+ degree days, are THE MOST FUCKING STRESSFUL

    Larry bird 2.0 casually palming the ball low as he starts to elevate and gets it stripped away.
    A 10year old could strip the ball in that position.

    Yeah he needs to fix that. Coaches need to teach him to keep two hands on the ball and to keep it at chest level, and close to his chest.
