    The Pels have a stellar defense with Cj and BI out there. Zion is getting better too buy not exactly a DPOTY candidate. Wtf is wrong with Portland and defense?

    Chauncey Billups is part of the problem.

    It has nothing to do with the teams.
    The NBA is all about the players.

    I found the KCP 3 and it appeared to be the correct call (if we're looking at the same one). Do you have a screen shot of these missed calls or did you think they were bad calls in real time?

    What team has ever been good at defense while being undersized? We are undersized at every position except one... and that guy isn't very mobile.

    I assumed everyone expected this?

    How can it be a league of only mediocrity if the best basketball players in the world are playing in the NBA?

    Just a reminder. In a one point loss, we committed 4 technical fouls.

    Two of them were because a player simply lost his cool and threw the ball. Winslow first and Nurk second. Game!

    Tough to keep your cool when the officiating is one sided.

    With respect to players, sure the best in the world, but as a whole there still are only a number of All/Super Stars. The mediocrity I referred to was in relation to team records.

    Well I expect to see it raise it's head quit a bit this season and as long as he is learning, that's all I can expect.

    Actually I think he only had ONE season on a bench in a coaching position before we hired him. I might be wrong.

    Don't waste your time man. The calls even themselves out all the time. No refs have it out for us. To believe otherwise is lazy.

    Undersized all over, and 2 of your stars are average to poor in defense. It's been that way for years.... and the results are going to change anytime soon.

    We keep going with the same flawed template and wondering why the results don't change.

    I thought it was Stotts’ fault.

    This one, on the last play where his foot was on the in bounds line.
