    I watched the game...and I will post what I saw.....Tolliver had one turnover with a bounce pass...he telegraphed it...I noticed that. Saying Stotts pulled Skal because he was leaving the 3pt shooter at the key wide open over and over is not microanalyzing Skal….I like Skal….it's coaching..Stotts was pissed...he yanked him. That's not my job. Skal came back in later and played really well....the talk on the sidelines by Stotts apparently worked...Skal is way more talented than Tolliver but Tolliver can contribute and help us win games....I've given Skal a green light and I think Tolliver should have one as well 2 games in

    We'll probably get to do it again in 7 years, when Butters comes back....

    -15 in 3 minutes played. I didn't even know that was possible.

    And now with Zach out, we're going to see more of him, not less.

    Pau, come back quickly.

    Can we waive him? This dude is getting worse.

    Jake Layman played crunch time minutes in Minny tonight and has played a key role in at least 2 of their 3 wins.

    just spot the other team 10 pts and bench him. Would save me the heartache of watching him play

    Before tonight it was -8.16 with only one player worse than him Dennis Smith Jr of the Knicks at -10.92 but after tonight I am sure Tolliver is at the bottom

    Tolliver has had a postive per every other year he has played except the other year he played for us...an -11.47. I guess he is trying to set a new record this year

    Tolliver vs Smith

    this was posted on RealGM tonight:

    "There are drop-offs and then there are D-R-O-P-O-F-F-S. Hyperbole is easily abused and my memory has been totally destroyed by Twitter, as I've written many times previously. I just can't recall ever seeing a stretch of basketball in which a substitution caused the type of swift and total destruction that Nolan Smith's entry for Lillard brought in the first quarter of this game.


    The numbers are flabbergasting. In less than three minutes of action, Smith finished with zero points, zero rebounds, zero assists, zero steals, zero blocks, shot zero-for-zero from the field, committed three turnovers and was a -17. His three turnovers all were inexcusable and led directly to seven points from three lay-ups (one with an and-one). He turned blindly into a double team on one of them, his soft perimeter pass was intercepted on the second, and his pocket was picked on the third.


    Blazers coach Terry Stotts even called a 20-second timeout following the first 12 points of the 17-point run. It was one of those "OK, WTF, get your head in the game, guys" timeouts that was promptly followed up by five more points being conceded in a row. If the goal was to stop the bleeding, that timeout worked about as well as putting a dinosaur band-aid on a land mine mangled leg. By halftime, the score was 62-45. In the 21:23 that Smith wasn't on the court, the score was tied 45-45. During the 2:37 that he was on the court, the Bucks won 17-0.


    Just to reinforce the impact of that substitution: this stretch was the equivalent of Smith making a free throw into the Bucks' hoop every 9.2 seconds for as long as he stayed on the court with everyone else on both teams just standing around watching him."

    that's pretty funny
