    This lineup literally has no chance of succeeding. Melo/Kanter has proven to be the worst defense in the history of the league, but 70% of the season over and we are still doing it. I just can’t with this team anymore.

    Pick one of Kanter or Melo to permanently bench. That will bring us 5 ranks up in defensive efficiency. It almost doesn’t matter who you replace them with.

    I don't disagree with that! But if you do play him and dropping him is THIS bad, it's absolutely inexcusable not to try something else.

    Lets call a spade of spades...Lillard has been dog shit. He lost his confidence. Can not shoot 3s or FTs.....its crazy how he fall off the cliff. Sure stotts stinks but these games are winnable if Brick Dame were to show up

    Once Nurk goes out, the teams defense just takes a shit.

    And then Herman Stottster (that's the best monster related pun I could come up with on short notice) goes with the crappy defensive lineup.

    Stotts should've challenged that 4th foul on Nurk. Was a BS call.

    Dame missed 2 tech fts. Will suck if we lose this game by 1 point.

    Kanter and Melo still in, Blazers still dropping the big. Absolutely no adjustments from Terry Stotts.

    i think they did as well as you can expect, much better than I predicted but the Melo -Kanter pairing is going to extend the lead to 20 in a couple more minutes

    Need to have a heart to heart with Melo and just stop playing him. It’s just not doable anymore.

    He's 8-17 from the floor, and 3-9 from 3 tonight.

    Please have some perspective.

    Dame is not why they're losing this game. No one besides Dame or CJ has more than 7 shots.

    Stotts is scared of the players..no other explanation. Dude holds no one accountable, makes no meaningful changes and hope the ISO plays will work and save the game..what a joke of an offense + defense this is
