    Stotts has to put Powell back in. There is zero zero defense, and this is worse than Portland's usual awful defense. Why would you think it's ok to leave guys like Bouche with a wide open, uncontested, time-for-a-deep-breath, 3? Kanter can't be out there without major major help. I love what he does on offense but christ he is awful, useless on defense.

    I think being a negative defensively as a coach is easily the worst position.

    If this team was without a coach, they'd be better on defense at this point.

    It's Stotts' patented Steph Curry defense.

    Portland should look at some of the unsigned guys possible, a pure defender. Maybe Sacramento will unload Moe for cheap?
