    Did Dwight Jaynes really ask Stotts if he'd like to force more than 1 turnover? That's the best question he could come up with?

    Stotts said he was unhappy with the passing and ball movement in the 2nd half.

    Stotts did not make it sound like CJ is very close to coming back.

    This just has not look like an organized team for the last 11 quarters.

    If your defense is invisible, you must have learned to play defense from the Blazers. Nobody sees the Blazers playing defense either.

    Been there, done that. I would ask you to strongly reconsider.

    I was only going under the assumption you were the headliner! I was going to bring a basketball for you to sign and everything!

    You have no idea how many times I've said this when someone tells me "man, just hooked up with Mrs HCP for the first time".

    So this chart is about our offense? If it is, it's bullshit. We have the 5th overall team 3P% at 38.4%.

    If this was about defense and the amount of threes that we contest, that wouldn't make any sense because we know that we would be like the lowest on the list of threes our opponents take that we contest.

    4:30 Blazers are down 3. I was begging for Rondo for 5 years now. Instead I have to watch something like this. It all went fairly south from there.

    Probably average. I see us force the ball too much in transition and try high risk low reward passes a lot and settle for poor mid range too much, but I don’t see us foul jump shooters as much as many teams and we don’t turn it over much in general. When I think of a high IQ team I think of the Spurs with Duncan, Parker, Manu etc.

    Yeah we do rank 5th but 9th is 0.4 percentage points behind so this might be a little outdated. That's my best guess.
