    We crash the offensive boards which leads to a bunch of breaks.

    We miss at the rim which leads to a bunch of breaks.

    We don't crash the defensive boards.

    Recipe for disaster.

    For once in my life I would like to see a Blazers roster that actually makes sense.

    It seems like we're the worst team in the NBA at running fast breaks.

    I watch the Blazers a lot more than any other team, but it does feel this way.

    It does seem like we've had some pretty horrible shooting luck this game.

    Live play is a good time to talk about the weather and how someone walked 8 miles.

    HOLY FUCK Raymond Felton. Gained more body weight post-career than Eddy Curry, I’m betting.

    There needs to be a video session showing the 1/2 dozen+ times a game that Badji with hit 7'6" wingspand and 9'8" standing reach is rolling to the basket uncovered or with a small guard rotating over.

    LOB THE BALL TO THE BASKET!!! Someone finally tries to hit him on a roll and throws the ball down at his waist. It's some of the most clueless basketball by guards I've ever see. Throw the ball up in the air where he is the only player that can get it. This is not rocket science but game after game, they pass up absolute gimme lob dunks for Badji. Billups said he wants a big that can finish at the rim......that has been 70% of Badji's short career before coming to the NBA. It boggles the mind that our playmakers can't figure that out.
