    You know what is embarrassing. Plumlee left out there in the paint.... he looks like a Raggedy Andy Doll with alligator arms.

    I switched from the game to Westworld at halftime.

    I think Meyers is a robot.

    With this December schedule and the way we play defense, 11-20 is not far fetched.

    Yes. The scheme is bad, and the coding adjustments are made in games instead of in practice. He also allows continuous switching. I counted 6 or 7 times a big guarded Harden after he simply walked the ball up the court

    It's all good. Dame and Cj are still young. We have Harkless and Layman. The rest can go kick rocks. Their trash. With a lottery pick this year and some trades we can be a new and different team ready to introduce ourselves next year

    Those are not personnel issues. That is a coaching issue.

    Plumlee is not trash. Either is Turner.

    Ok I'm beging harsh but Plumlee is just complete TRASH defensively.

    I think he'd be a great backup center tho

    The coach and his defensive philosophy are part of the problem.

    I never like to come around after you guys lose because I don't want to be the trolling fan that brags after a win...but...

    Yeah. I don't know what the plan was there on defense. You guys pressed Harden for most of the night, that was the first mistake. Should have let him lazily bring the ball up the court since if you let him he'll use about 6-7 seconds of clock each time, it's one of the things that annoys me about him...then the switching...I lost count how many times your big was caught on Harden at the top of the perimeter with all the space in the world to work. This happened countless times along with the pressing (which you hardly see in the NBA period) it was pretty strange. I don't know why you guys don't have a better record, you didn't lose any major players but gained a few depth players.

    Harden sucks.

    But he's also the MVP so far this season.

    But he still sucks.

    I have to say, it's pretty sad when a D'Antoni-coached team plays better defense than the Blazers.

    Our D is just god awful and there is a lot wrong. This just points out exactly how bad. We are the worst defensive team in the league.
