    because even a third string guard can break down our defense with this lineup in the game

    It’s rough watching Rodney. He’s a shell of a shadow of his former self. It may take a while before he regains his form, if ever.

    That will change 1 day after Stotts gets fired....or Melo retires.

    There is no end to the insanity.

    This is the exact type of game blazers been losing the last year or so. You can just see the kids coming

    Our weakness is that Stotts keeps playing Kanter/Melo/Hood/Gary in 4 man units that get annihilated every minute they’re on the floor. Stotts is a dumbass players coach.

    I just want to make sure I understand this. If you pass the ball then your teammates can actually get a open look. Man we should try that, seems to be working pretty good for the Kings right now.

    I feel like it’s every game that I say the opponent can’t keep this up from three. Then I realize I’m saying it every game now.

    I would rather give up a contested layup than a wide open corner three

    Coach Stotts is good! Like guys, there's no one better than him out there. There are no good replacements.

    Stotts do good.

    Right? It’s weird how the Portland media doesn’t hound Stotts about it

    If you trap, you gotta trap harder. Blszers trapping way too soft and it's allowing the pass to the big in the middle of the floor. Then they're not rotating correctly on the backside to top it off.
