    Yeah, there is no energy there. Its very stagnate. Moving Hood to the bench and Melo to small forward will force him to take more threes off the pass in the corner which was actually his forte last season.

    He will still get his ISO back downs against defenders, but less, and with both Kanter and Giles in we are almost assured the rebound when he misses.

    Plus Giles can bring that extra pep off the bench that our second unit needs. His energy is exactly what is missing. You can't have Melo and Kanter together in the front court, it doesn't work.

    This easy change up would help alot, but Stotts won't do it. Pygmalion.

    Apparently some people need to be reminded.

    Or you didn't read my post and instead just went into homer mode and saw "HE SAY HOOD BAD. MUST DEFEND!"

    This forum is full of white knights.

    Of all the things that were a catastrohpe last night, Hood was not the issue. Of course it will take time for him to get back to hopefuly close to what he was last year. But even if he does, and he is on the second unit with Iso 2.0, and the defensive ministrations of CJ, Melo and Kanter, it won't matter.

    Oh I read it. That’s how I responded to it. Your anger seems unhealthy. Find a new interest if this is so infuriating for you. You said Hood looked lost and unconfident etc. I just thought I would remind you that he tore his Achilles and maybe that is causing it.

    Well, this is definitely the worst December, 2020 Blazers team I've seen in my lifetime.

    Ok, so let me break it down for you so you understand -

    Chris Craig says we should bench Hood.

    I quote him and essentially agree with him that Hood looks lost and unconfident, but that the team is also putting him in a position to fail by changing his role and putting him with a bunch of me-first players. He did better in the role that they have DJJ in.

    You come in with some pointless post about him tearing his achilles. That's great. He's still playing and we're talking about how he's doing so far.

    Thanks. And I just responded that maybe, just maybe, he looks bad because he’s coming back from one of the worst injuries a basketball player can have. But you know this. You covered the team professionally.

    Just based on what I've seen in these 4 pre-season and last night's game, I'm not real high on having RoCo at the PF spot. I think we need more scoring and length there. I'd move him to SF, with Jones as backup. Hood looks like he's going to take time to get his game back, so I'd just give him spot minutes. Until Collins returns, I'd go with Melo and Giles at the PF spot.

    I dont remember a blazer team getting blown out of 4 straight games. No excuse for that when you have a superstar.

    Blazers can't make teams pay for concentrating on dame, then on the other end you see teams moving the ball and getting open shots...

    Cool. I'm going to put you on my ignore list because I find you boring and tedious. Feel free to do the same.

    I don’t want to put you on ignore because I am looking forward to more of your keen insight like this is the worst team of your lifetime.

    That's my "you can't have a meaningful conversation with this person" list. So I find it infinitely better to just ignore them. They can do the same.

    I imagine that's exactly what the players are saying about this place.
