    I thought he was pretty solid tonight. Set a lot of good screens; drew fouls on a couple of them. Five blocks and intimidation under the basket other times. 10 rebounds, 14 points.

    They missed a lot of open shots.

    That's a direct quote from his Twitter Riverman, don't question me.

    Well one thing we aren't very good but I questioning the leadership from our coach and our veteran players on this game alone. This team wasn't ready from our best player to our worst player. I can't say to much from players didn't but our 9 man rotation wasn't ready.

    Totally agree you can't give games like tonight up if you want to make the playoffs. I do think on off-shooting nights, people go to the effort card far to often. I don't think Portland wasn't trying, they just weren't executing. If Melo and Dame are red hot and make most their shots, nobody would be saying the effort was bad.

    At some point you just have to know that this year is a development our youth year. If we spend to much time clawing just to barely make or more likely miss the playoffs I will be more upset. I have made my peace that it’s okay to play/develop or young players.

    Then if that true you find other ways to help the team instead chucking 11 3 ups and just making only 2.

    Ever since game 7 of the WCF the body language has changed. They arrived. They're lapsing on being a hungry detailed oriented team.

    Hitting shots just masks the facts.
