    Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t buy this “funneling” defense concept. Seems like a gimmick that doesn’t actually work. Stay directly between your guy and the hoop.

    Portland's 3 'scorers', CJ-Powell-Melo, have 28 points on 27 shots. That's not going to win many games

    and, no Jones...why? at the same time RoCo is completely uninvolved in the game...why, part 2?

    The best thing they could do if they want to salvage this season with some kind of competitiveness is by dumping Melo to the curb, but apparently we’ve given our word to not embarrass him.

    C’mon Blazers no more room for laziness or mental lapses. CJ/Melo don’t freakin’ try to take over the game.

    I'm not the biggest fan of CJ on offense, but he is busting his ass on defense. Melo has no excuses. After allowing Bridges to dunk on him, he just walked back like that wasn't his fault. Doesn't even bother playing.

    They will try and take over the game, that's what they do. Hopefully they hit their shots

    We’re losing because Charlotte has better personnel imo.
