    Just not sold on Ant being a rotation player for a good team. He can shoot spot up or wide open threes. That's his one skill. He has trouble even changing direction with his dribble. Where does he fit?

    apparently, Stotts is the only coach that won't double the hot man

    Elleby is better. Or at least will be.

    Who deleted their post about CJ going Iso being a bad idea? I thought that was a good one.

    Ugh. A couple of makes from CJ last game and we don’t blow it. Tonight he hits everything.

    I've seen a lot of Blazers fight through screens over the years, but I can't recall any of them getting hurt nearly every game.

    Not saying he's clumsy, but it is abnormal, is it not?

    Melo steals it, feels obligated to take a long contested two with his team not even over half court.

    What the fuck.

    We've got defenders in the area, not defending.

    Dame and Simons. Defense makes me want to blow my brains out.

    You guys probably do not wanna hear it, but Dame is abysmal on Defense. Just standing and watching. Not even trying to make an effort

    I have bad feeling about this game. Hope I'm wrong.

    If Dame is hurt then you might want set couple games.

    Either Dame is hurt, despondent, or bored. I wonder if he was expecting something else to happen today on the trade front.

    Dame needs a screener to be effective. Having Covington at the center position actually neutralizes Dame's strength.

    But whatever. Terry gonna Terry.
