    That is oustanding!!

    True....but we are getting torched by teams like the Pelicans/Warriors who are without just as many or even more players. Growing pains is one thing but it's HOW the team plays. Very little hustle, hardly any ball movement and the defensive scheme (even with D anchors missing) is atrocious.

    No belief, no trust with this group right now.

    Seeing it play out on both ends.

    It will get better, but damn does this suck.

    They might try Anthony and Little at the same time with Little playing the small forward.

    Carmelo should just be a spot up shooter

    "Nassir has just been fantastic"

    Says Hurd while Nas is on the bench and we're down 12 in the 4th.

    Yes this bad.
    It was bad to start the year after Portland lost Aldridge. Made the 8th seed.
    With the injuries Portland has, the goal is to avoid the 7th and 8th seed.
    Anything other than those and Portland has a chance to advance to the 2nd round.
    IF Portland never lost Collins Melo wouldn't be in this team. Tread water.

    They keep showing that Little fast break dunk where he took about 4 steps.....I'd avoid that highlight

    That's why he failed in OKC & Hou. He's not a spot up shooter.

    Melo should get pissed, get a T. Get tossed. Show how bad he wants to fight for this team. Go full Sheed.
