    Having a black hole in the starting lineup and another black hole first of the bench is a bold strategy.

    Couple notes I thought of from the first half:

    -Carmelo was an awful resigning.

    -We need a legit backup PG in the 2nd unit

    -We need to scrap this new defense shit

    -We need to run more offense thru Nurk

    Dame just seems off on every shot. Is he not completely recovered from his injury or something?

    It seems impossible that this team suddenly since the Bubble gives up so many 3s. Utah has made 13-28 in the first half. There has to be a correction at some point back to the NBA norm.

    I'm hoping that the team can work some things out in the next few games.

    This game has been painful to watch. Even Biofreeze can't ease this pain.

    Well, it gives them more time to practice! So instead of a decent 5 minutes, they'll be able to practice their way to 6 and a half minutes of decent play!

    By the end of the season they'll have 36 maybe 37 minutes of decent play per game (and that many wins too!).

    Well, for starters, it’s a lot easier for the other team to rebound when the Blazers miss this many shots.

    Also, move w/o the basketball and share it.

    I'd love to see the possession scoring percentage when we pass the ball 2 or more times vs. 1 or fewer. We had assists on our first five shots. Then we started the 1-on-1 hero-ball garbage. Then Melo came in.

    Nurk gets blasted in the face to add injury to insult.
