    So it didn't take 10 games before Stotts gave up on the new defense.

    And there you go. Down 10 in the 2nd quarter to a team that is almost half full of undrafted players.

    It's absolutely fucking pathetic. This fraud of a fucking coach has been here way too fucking long. This offense is a fucking joke.

    I watch Gonzaga and they move the hell out of the ball. They rotate properly and correctly. I watch the Blazers and it's just disgusting fucking basketball and a shame to the game.

    I'm so over Terry.

    Fix what is fixable first. Every game the team started going downhill the moment Melo comes in the game, and we spend the rest of the game playing catch-up.

    Take Melo out back and end his misery.

    I think Blazers can win the game, but this is not good. A “win” won’t mask how bad they are right now. Gonna need some serious patience with this group.

    It's on the court. We have selfish players and a big collection of crappy defenders

    Kanter - Benched by Boston last year
    Hood - DNPs by Cleveland before coming to Portland, now coming off a major injury
    Melo - Unsigned by 29 teams in the league.
    Ant - Worst rated gaurd in the league last year.
    Trent - Stud

    Which one of those things is not true?

    Don’t worry. Stotts will make the proper adjustments. :)
