    At least put your body on Allen or Mobley so they can’t jump so easily on the lobs.

    I’m pretty convinced Ant should not be a full time SG

    If you let NBA guards penetrate at Will bad things happen especially when the other team has two bigs who can jump and finish

    He's certainly not a PG in my eyes.

    Our guards are actually shooting it well which seems to be the only way we can win but this is against a team that is really really good so far this season.

    He's a small scoring guard that needs to be playing next to a big defensive minded guard. Reminds me of two other guys.

    I'm trying to figure this out. I think it's related to why Billups puts Grant guarding a guard and then Lillar or Simons guards whoever is considered weak offensively. Why does he do this? 1. Grant is not really big and strong enough to be a PF. 2. Simons (Lillard?) is a bad defender. The solution is to trade Simons for someone like Siakam, whatever it takes.

    Kevin Love would not be a positive addition to this roster.

    Agreed... doesn't have the handles or vision offensively to play the 1.

    The Blazers have come up empty on at least 2 fast breaks so far. Why does this not happen to their opponents
