    From a 'pride' standpoint, can we try to hold them under 140? Too much to ask?

    Why do our players run to someone else on the 3-point line when an atlanta player lines up a 3-point shot? boxing out at the 3-point line?

    And not to mention that individual defensive improvement doesn't mean anything if the team defense regresses.

    I agree Trent is the only one that has shown strong signs of improving this season, which is too bad. What examples do we have of players leaving Portland to see the their defense dramatically under new leadership? I'm sure there are some, but I'd assume if anyone could come up with a list, it would be you.

    Great point, I agree with this.

    Do we have data that shows the Blazers defensive rating by month over the past few years and if there is a trend that their ranking falls throughout the season?

    It was atrocious basketball. Like literally, they started Ha Seung Jin at center for a time.

    Eyeball test: It's much worse when Nurkic is out.

    Sadly called this a loss. Glad I didn’t have time to watch this one.

    I have reached my limit of Stoffense and Tefense. This team is not good.

    Funny how Calabro gives a negative comment about Hezonja's bounce pass and is silent on all the other worse shit we saw throughout the game.

    Nice night from Collins...good to see him back. 24 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, a steal and 2 blocks.

    What? That's not 'our' Collins? We traded two 1st round picks to move up and take a different Collins. Damn.....foiled again.

    Is it too early to call it a season?

    I haven't started this game yet.

    I'm guessing I should start with a double shot for this one.

    The real explanation for the team's performance was that they were trying to get Dame more MVP votes.
