    That’s the downside of playing a rookie with 2 games of experience.

    Look how Harden breaks that double team when one of his players comes to the free throw line all he does is dish it off there and there rest is easy

    When you get trapped at halfcourt and have no outlet pass and your coach keeps running sets which are horrible against pressure defense and aren't designed to handle it well since you have to sit at halfcourt for 10 seconds to let the whole play develop, you expect Dame to handle that well?

    Getting smoked by a much better team. Not really a surprise. It’ll be interesting to see what Melo can add to the equation.

    Are you blaming Stotts for playing him?

    What is this 'lob' thing the Rockets do for uncontested layins/dunks? They do it with a player much smaller and with a shorter reach than the opposite number on the Blazers teams. It seems like a really easy look.

    Maybe we should try that.

    Houston isn’t even that good fuck this team. It’s the blazers vs Harden and it’s not even close

    The upside is we would have won the TORONTO game.

    2-1 because of little if we didnt have stotts as a coach.

    It's true. A lot of good rookie shooters this season. Herro, Nunn, Washington, etc etc.

    I would rather have Tolliver in against a team this experienced and good at drawing fouls.
