    That's very similar to the way he finishes or more accurately doesn't finish around the hole. Any coach worth having would put an end to those things but we have a cheerleader and not a boss as our coach right now and our cheerleader doesn't believe in accountability so how would anyone ever move on from bad habits that they don't see as bad habits without a coach holding their feet to the fire.

    Outside of the Rockets game, 1900 fans made a huge difference, so yes 8000 will be really good.

    I hate to say it Dame and CJ runs there self into traps plus they get trap the worse place possibly places. They can pass the ball before they get over half court but they dominant the ball so much when they got it in there hands they rather dribble out of trouble then pass the ball before trouble. Now I do think it is Stotts fault for not stress it during timeouts. We can speculate what they do or not what in practice.

    Regarding the Pelicans series, there was a point in game 3 (I think) where like 5 or 6 possessions were all turnovers or something like that. It was beyond frustrating to watch.

    Stotts should actually call a set then instead of having them run off pick n rolls 40ft away from the rim. Doesn't seem too difficult.

    I read this and decided to look this up? Because i was not sure of the complete dimensions.

    This is NBA


    [​IMG]
    It seems bigger on TV for sure.

    Then i decided to look for the difference between HS, NCAA, International, Pro WNBA, NBA

    Was not sure of those number either.

    Like i said i was not sure. Maybe other have had this question as well?

    Looks like 8,000 for Moda tonight.

    Who is going?

    Have you all read this from the site?

    VACCINATED SEATING
    Seats in Vaccinated Sections are reserved for fans who are fully vaccinated. Proof of vaccination will be required at the gate prior to entry. Due to the vaccination requirement, seating in this area will have one seat left open horizontally between each pod.

    PROOF OF VACCINATION
    Proof of vaccination requires all individuals 16 years of age or older to provide their completed vaccination card, or picture of completed vaccination card at the gate showing:
    • Two weeks elapsed since the second shot of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. OR
    • Two weeks elapsed since the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
    PLEASE NOTE
    • If proof of being fully vaccinated is not able to be presented at the gate, entry will be rejected and no refund will be provided. If purchasing tickets in this area please make sure you bring your vaccination card or photo showing you are fully vaccinated with your last shot being completed 2-weeks prior to the game.
    • Children under the age of 16 may sit in vaccinated sections, but must be accompanied by a vaccinated guardian.
    • We continue to require all fans in all sections to wear a mask at all times while on campus unless actively eating or drinking.
    I found two tickets total available on the site. Maybe the site only allows you to get 2 tickets at a time? They were in section 110 for about $200 a piece. I can not attend for various reasons but would have liked to.

    I agree with Stotts on this. I don't agree with him all the time on everything.
    Arron Gordon cannot guard Lillard alone and because they moved him on Lillard now Powell should have a huge advantage. Mikey Malone will have to go back to Campazzo because Lillard will pick this apart. Nuggets don't want Gordon guarding Lillard at 38 feet from the basket.
    Think about that.
    I also agree the Blazers need to bring intensity for this game and then keep it for game 4. They don't want a split at home.

    I'll be there - still not going to be a typical playoff atmosphere, but 8,000 is a lot closer to normal than 1,900 was. I'm pretty sure the game won't lack for energy.

    Dame knows the offense has good as Stotts does he's the pg of this team he should know what's working out there just as much as Stotts. Know I am not talking about Stotts not have no responsibility what the team should run but so does the PG. Let me be clear I am not fan of Stotts but I am not going put all the blame on him either.

    Mike malone just did interview and pretty much laughed at the idea that Portland thought not doubling Joker is good idea he says let them keep not doubling him . His point was in first game joker in post still assisted guys but they bricked it 1-10 in shooting and how essentially denver is used on double on jokic he has seen every double possible and its double edged sword youll pay if you dont and you pay if you do. He talks lots about adjustments but our coach said no adjustments are needed..... typically sorry ass stotts
