    The starting five simply isn't working. If we had a coach who is inept enough to make adjustments he would notice that. Having Zach in worked until they inserted Plumlee and played with 2 bigs but as long as Milsap is in the game we need Zach there as well.
    If Enes Kanter who is already a very poor defender can't lift his arms above the shoulders maybe it's even better for the team that he doesn't play at all.
    I wish I could think that Stotts could see some of that and make adjustments but he's fucking worthless, best case scenario: we lose in 5

    You can't make this shit up. Kanter played really well and your big solution is to not play him.

    This is why no one respects your posts.

    Is it too late to tank for a better draft pick?

    Maybe if we start now the league will give us a running start for next year?

    Start Hood for Harkless. They’re trying to hide Murray on our small forward. Harkless is too shitty to take advantage.

    Both Harkless and Aminu are right now negatives defensively and both aren't giving us anything offensively anyway

    But the key is Zach. When Milsap plays Zach should play, if they insert Plumlee insert Meyers, at least he can lift his arms above his head

    The problem was not offense

    Definitely. We didn't get any stops whatsoever. If we could sit Aminu and Harkless till the conference finals maybe we'd have a chance of getting there

    If we don't make brutal changes we lose in 5 and I'm being generous

    You beat me to it. This dude wants to take 26 points and 7 rebounds off the board.

    I actually think Meyers did fairly well against Jokic.

    How soon some people forget and lose sight after one game.

    It would definitely help to have the starting center and it might help to have the backup healthy. You think?

    Blazers will make a few adjustments in game two. Some things worked. Also some things were not working due to whistles in this game. There will be a different set of officials at the next game.If they allow a little more contact then Harkless and Aminu will effect the game differently.
    Then there is Murray. The Blazers will not be able to stop Jokic. But they can stop Murray. Put quick fast defenders on Jokic and Milsap. Then lock down Murray. Blazers Win!
