    I wonder if it's because he's having to guard 4's instead of 5's?

    We rotate from the wrong side covering the roll man when we blitz.

    The Blazers had played such good defense for 10+ quarters in a row but Stotts couldn't help himself. For the first time in that stretch, he went to 2 small guards with CJ and Napier at the same time. Immediately the Spurs took off, got momentum and now they are up 13.

    He's jumping at every pump fake and committing stupid fouls.

    He needs to do what Isaiah Thomas did tonight for us to have a chance.

    The problem was we were blitzing too slow to take away easy outlet passes and then covering the roll man with help defense from the ball side instead of the weak side.

    That's the problem right now. We need to work on it some more.

    Seems like Blazer Broadcasting is always showing the wrong replay this year. I wanted to see the hack on Turner and they're showing Green splashing a three.

    Turner and Crabbe just don't cut it when compared to Simmons and Green.

    If you want a good tagline for this team for both the optimist and the pessimist fans, it has to be:

    "Just wait."
