    If you can't beat that depleted mess, just start returning paychecks.

    CJ dribbles the ball off his foot, Melo picked it up for 3.

    Lamar Hurd: give an assist for CJ... lol

    Bazemore is legitimately one of the worst rotation players we've had in the last 10 years.

    Has there been a lower percentage shot for the Blazers this season than Bazemore driving into traffic and forcing one up?

    If I was coach; every time Bazemore tried to drive and make a layup and every time he left a three point shooter open, I would bench him. If that didn't help after ten games, I would bench him permanently.

    He's sub 40% on layups. I don't understand how a NBA player, much less one that has been in the league for almost 10 years, is so bad at layups.

    CJ is being only a little MeJ, but it doesn't matter because Bazemore is going full MeJ

    I really love those blocks Whiteside does that are about waist-high and he just wraps his hand around the ball and keeps it.

    It seems Simons gets his 3 pointer blocked A LOT.

    I wonder if one of the bad effects of signing mediocre players, like Turner, Harkless and Leonard, to long and large contracts, is that you don't have as much chance to find and develop young energetic players?
