    It seems like this team still has the problem of: Stotts

    What did people think of Trent? He hustles, which is rare on this team, but I HATE him on offense. Somebody tell him he should do one of two things within the first two seconds of getting the ball: launch an uncontested three or GIVE UP THE FUCKING BALL. He gets the ball and suddenly it's as if every teammate disappears and all he can see is the rim.

    The Blazers hustle plenty. You don't get to the WCF without hustle. Man! you're snarky.

    Fine, fine. Of course, we had Aminu and Harkless then.

    gawddamn...that was a shitshow....to be expected, but at least it was chuckleworthy

    too busy to watch game....didn't DVR...

    I obviously didn't get the memo: Little is injured?

    btw: a 15 page game thread for a irrelevant game at 12:30 on a weekday....nobody is horny for sports are they?

    Watch it. Even though the lose, there are some good plays in the game. Just shows once again the Blazers need a reliable veteran on the second unit, instead of unproven talent.

    Who else want to bet that Stotts won't play Gabriel and gives Mario minutes?

    I get giddy thinking about the defense in the second unit with Gary Trent Jr., Wenyen Gabriel and Nassir Little. Of course Hassan Whiteside is also in the mix too. Gabriel and Trent Jr. should be getting the bulk of the minutes no question.

    If we went from Zach Collins to Wenyen Gabriel, is that even a drop off defensively? Looks like he was the gem in the Skal/Caleb trade after all.

    Glad to see both Nurk and Zach play but i was not really impressed at all with the team as a whole. Really still do not like Gabriel or Hoard.

    One thing i am certain of is Simmons plays way way better with Zach than he does with the scrubs.

    Another thing i am pretty sure of people's expectations for this team are way too high. They most likely will not see the playoffs.

    I would have scoffed at this but he actually did well tonight in isolation situations.

    I kinda felt Mario did some good things also. Not great but he didn't hurt them and he made some shots when they needed them.

    Not certain but CJ might have added some weight and he couldn't get up there like he is used to? I thought that was a sure dunk?

    So.... You think the coach was the problem tonight? I'm gonna disagree but try to stay positive. Stotts has his problems but i don't think he was the problem tonight.
