    team completely fell apart when Dame went out

    and Chauncey really needs to remodel his defense

    We've had 2 timesouts and a quarter break during this run. He doesn't have unlimited timeouts.

    Not sure what is worse, the Blazers offense or defense. Seems like every game the Blazers hit these stretches where they go 3 plus minutes without scoring, but then it is a layup drill on the other end.

    It's poor coaching, sorry.....you can't stand around and watch a team put that kind of distance on the scoreboard without calling out your players and holding them accountable...Chauncy is eating popcorn and letting them flail

    It seems unlikely Portland will keep Hart because it would be too much to re-sign him. Solid SG, but not a SF on a contending team which is where he is having to play. Unless they were to trade Payton and in another deal, trade Simons (unlikely) to get a major piece like an OG, they can't both be here. We are just too damn small.

    We don't have enough timeouts to cover for our defense. This is just a case of bigger, longer, more athletic players being better than smaller, players with less length. The equalizer is for the smaller players to shoot the lights out.....which isn't happening.

    ....to prove the point, Simons with an airball.

    You want a timeout after every 5-0 run?
