    In response to the poll question:

    I'm not sure how it's debatable given all that Bojan Dubljević has done for our organization.

    In all seriousness, weren't there people here that were high on Layman, saying he should play more, and wasn't uutilized correctly in Portland?

    I like Jake but I personally would have rather kept Pat Con.

    Obviously these guys can put a game together. Very tough to go into any teams gym and beat them twice in a row. I would think even more so two days in a row.
    Lets see what the Blazers can come up with?

    Hopefully a better performance tonight. Last night's game was too close.

    Dame is averaging 30/10/4 on 61% TS in 36 mpg on the second night of back to backs. that's just insane.

    What's up with him not putting work in on the boards? 4 rebounds is ridiculous.

    I blame Stotts for Dame's weak rebounding numbers!

    Trent going one on 2 ending up with a fadeaway 18 footer is not what I want to see.

    why do we settle for threes when lanes are open? we can attack and find more open shots later in the clock as well. making defenses uncomfortable has an impact on their efficiency later in the game.

    this is just a fundamental thing i can't agree with stotts on, among many. so many possessions with one pass, or no pass, then shot

    1-10 to start the game, most of which were open looks. Ugh

    Either real good or just bad shooting.

    against weak defensive teams like minnesota, we move the ball around, those open shots are gonna be available all the damn time. and this time, would get us into a rhythm or to the foul line. i can't stand terry's philosophy on this. we miss open shots... the rationale is always, keep shooting, they'll go in eventually. Rather than do something to get yourself in a better position to make shots now.
