    A center is needed.

    3-4 are currently available to Stotts.

    Turnovers off their traps and 2nd chance points did us in that quarter. Need to get back some of that 2nd quarter intensity.

    Harkless was to blame for like 5 of their easy baskets that quarter including like three 3s. Just fucking brain dead floating around guarding no one.

    You obviously weren't watching the game. We played great defense in the first half and ZERO defense in the 3rd quarter.

    Kerr made adjustments and they paid off. Defense stepped it up and trapping is much better. Still got to get those rebounds though.

    They were obvious adjustments, we just failed to react.

    Blazers should hold hands and form a circle that Damian can get inside of. Then he could shoot from within that protective barrier.

    Refs just swallowed their whistles after halftime. Their big adjustment on defense is to hip check, hold, and slap at everything.
