    Which is why I have advocated for 4 years now that despite how good they are offensively, specifically at certain things, they do not work overall as a backcourt that will be a legit contender. It hasn't changed in that time....thinking it magically will as they are going into ages 30-31 is a pipedream.

    LMFAO I love your new talking points.

    Pretty much every major national publication thinks the Blazers had the best off-season. Now you're suggesting it was terrible as a way to take the heat off the coach.

    Sure thing. We appreciate your dishonesty and boot licking.

    Do you believe the national publications that say Stotts is a good coach or only the off-season rankings?

    I've said this is a 42-43 win roster that should be a 1st/2nd round exit, I'm still there.

    What did I say that was inaccurate? Did Miami and Boston think DJJ and Kanter were dependable rotation players in the playoffs?

    It’s only preseason but it’s not great to be getting clowned by a team you’re supposed to be battling in the western conference.

    Hopefully they can find some defensive effort and success in the second half.

    Boston had multiple players at Kanters level. When Kanter did play, he balled out. Boston electing to play RWIII isnt an indictment on Kanter.

    Miami's was very deep and had multiple, extremely talented players getting few or jk minutes. Not an indictment on Jones.
