    That's one of the biggest irritating things about watching this team play, and it's magnified when they play the Lakers.

    Momentum swings happen on a dime, but seem to happen TO the team, instead of FOR the team.

    We're getting dangerously close to being able to call it.

    Ant with an unnecessarily difficult floater that never had a chance. Ayton with a lazy offensive foul.

    Watching lack of effort like this makes me wonder why I put the effort into caring about this assemblage of players. Just no real interest in playing a game. It's just a bunch of random plays with no cohesion.

    I guess it's time to mention that when Chauncey was gone we seemed to play with an offensive scheme and when Chauncey's back that plan has disappeared.

    Several of the Blazers called this one on the flight down, from the looks of it.

    Bullshit. He will improve his percentage. He’s a good shooter. Sharpe is not a finished product.

    You mean how he's gone from 33% to 30% to 29%?

    That kind of "improvement"?

    The assistant coach had a lot to play for and it showed.

    He's going in the wrong direction if he's going to be improving. Usually players start off low and get higher as they get more minutes and skills.

    In Kidd’s 10th season, he shot 32% from 3.
    Here’s his 14th, 15th, and 16th season:

    46%
    41%
    43%

    you can improve.

    There is a lack of effort on some players part and a lack of high bbiq choices on others. A lot of mistakes in a row with no timeouts taken to reset. It leads to large runs by opponents and insurmountable leads.

    Sometimes, it takes more than 2.5 seasons.
