    I think that was accomplished after the 1st play of the pre-season game.

    Somewhere in Portland Terry Stotts is sipping a cappucino and chuckling.

    It really was an alley oop(s), then it went it.

    Here's to nearly 25% chance to move into top 4 in the Draft. Keep up the good work Billups! (/sarc but also kinda serious though I know he doesn't intend it and with any luck is gone this summer in favor of someone much better).

    Chauncey's coaching hasn't impressed me but we tanked last season and never put together a competitive roster this season. Joe is playing this shit like he has all of the time in the world so I imagine he's giving Chauncey the same leash he's giving himself.

    So many times I had to stop and rewind just so I could again marvel at how bad this team plays defense. I literally can't even comprehend how a "professional" team can apparently lack even the common sense and instinct I myself possessed when I was ten years old. If I cared enough I'd make a low-light reel, but I don't. It's just sad. I know it's not a great roster right now but the shit they're doing just defies logic. I don't know if the IQ of these guys is just non-existent or if they're specifically being told not to guard anyone, either way it's an embarrassment.

    You can't play defense without a center.

    Link?

    My coaches taught me that the one thing you can always do is play hard on defense, even when your shot's not falling. I don't know what game you played.

    Blazers gave 57% shooting on FG's; 46% shooting on three's; and 81% shooting on FT's. That's right, even Blazer FT defense is bad
    *********************************************
    Blazers are getting an opportunity to get study Reddish and Thybulle. I actually like what I've seen from both. If the Blazers can re-sign them in the 5-7M range they'd be decent bench players and trade assets

    matisse looks like a keeper and Cam was good today, but i caution about making too much about these guys producing when we are down 20.
