I've always hated the way we defend the pick-and-roll. But then watching Gobert come off that little cross screen and get it for an uncontested dunk...
I've finally talked myself into it. I think for there to be any chance for this team to level up, there's going to have to be a coaching change....
He's played the pick-and-roll the same for years. I don't expect anything new, either.
Someday we'll defend ball screens differently. We won't ALWAYS have one guy playing back under the basket while the screen either frees up a shooter...
While not on the "Fire Stotts" train, I do think sometimes offensive philosophy has passed him by. Watching whoever dribble the ball up and shoot...
Yeesh. When we're playing poorly, we're downright unwatchable.
I think it gets called plenty, esp in situations like the one where Dame is going to the hoop. You can't push or hold a guy, and they really cut back...
It wasn't just a block on Baynes. Rubio had his hand on Dame's back from the foul line the whole way down the lane.
Amazing what happens when you start sharing the ball a little.
It's amazing how movement without the ball can make even limited offensive players threats. The Blazers discover that in small doses but never learn...
We are so passive on defense. We just let other teams do whatever they want and we react to it. Then we end up out of position and closing out out of...
Yes, but the injuries impacted the bench and the roles guys are playing. Two of the three guys you mentioned have been in an NBA rotations for 25...
I addressed this. Dame draws fouls, but Dame also plays more minutes than almost anyone in the league, has the ball in his hands almost all the time,...
The injuries had so much to do with this that I don't think you really can judge it. I don't think Harkless or Aminu playing on this team makes it...
So, what change do you think this team can make this year that's going to make us better than the Lakers, Clippers, Rockets, or Nuggets? You are...
Not sure what your point is ... will Herzonja or Tolliver be missed? Is Whiteside being counted upon once Nurk is back healthy? Is Bazemore...
In your opinion. You are just going by stats that support you and ignoring stats you don't like while also leaving out any context. THAT'S nonsense....
To my way of thinking, breaking up a team is when you are jettisoning corps guys and using the resources you acquire to get young, cheap talent....
He shoots a lot of FTs in the fourth quarter because when we have the lead and are in close games he's going to get fouled or he shoots them during...
Dame drove and got himself caught in the air and tried a desperation pass to Herzonja, who wouldn't have done anything positive even if he got it....
