    Offense needs MAJOR work. Dame is rusty to say the least.

    Getting tired of the double-digit turnovers in the first half.

    Ant got lucky to get away with a bad take foul on a center, 35ft from the basket.

    we play like headless chickens against the zone. when we play the same defense so much, you'd think we'd be prepared for it.

    I miss when the Blazers use to value possessions and take care of the ball and when the use to get offensive rebounds. 12 turnovers and only 2 offensive rebounds not good stats.

    Exactly. The shooting splits are good, but 12 empty possessions are too much to overcome.

    Why does Nurk have only one shot attempt, which was a 3-pointer, so not really a shot the team got for him.

    I haven't really looked close at the numbers but it sure seems this Blazer team is way too turnover prone. They telegraph too many of their passes or try to dibble into a crowd

    They are tied with the warriors for the highest number of Turnovers per game at 16.9 per game. To many of them from lazy passes

    I feel like Billups cares about the defensive side just a tad too much at times and that leads to not enough shooters on the floor.

    This team needs a lazy pass cleanse. Dame, Ant, Nurk especially.

    Man, that was ugly. The most infuriating part is we're still in this game and we played such bad defense and unintelligent offense. It looked like the Blazers put a bunch of guys on the floor who'd never played together.

    Could make an instructional video about the wrong way to close out or to recover.

    Offensively, we've wasted so much time against the zone standing in place with the ball and then forcing shots late in the shot clock. We trumped that by passing up open 3s. Then we trumped that by having no one inside the 3-point line for potential offensive rebounds, but the worst, the absolute worst thing was sooooo maaaaany lazy turnovers by playing selfishly or just not smart. I hate to see the ball in Simons' hands for anything other than a shot. The awful inbound pass at the end of the half where he never even looked away from Grant sums him up as a passer.

    Like we never saw a zone before. We just freaking played these guys, and we play a lot of zone ourselves. We looked like a really bad team in that first half.
