    Whenever we go on the road at some point talent level gets exposed. It's like teams know the players Olshey gets are only capable of being pushed so far.

    Nice pass Zach. Jake can’t jump quite THAT high.

    I don't know what defense we're playing right now. First time this lineup has played this year I believe and it looks like it

    I’m not ready to give up on any 21 year old nba player with tons of potential, especially ours.

    But I agree his development this year is less than I expected.

    Less than expected? Hes been efficient offensively and above-average defensively. What the hell do people expect?

    I think Zach will be a good shooter eventually. But right now he just seems like he's jacking up any shot haphazardly.

    No pressure on the ball handler in transition is a trademark of a Stotts' coached team.

    Suns are fast-breaking us to death! I don't get how Stotts thinks easy baskets are such a bad thing.

    Not only are the Blazers not getting out in transition at all, they're not stopping the ball in transition pretty frequently. Just a sloppy, poorly executed game. They need to make the "right play". Phoenix is an NBA team but the Blazers are making it much harder on themselves then they need to..

    All they have to do is pressure us on defense and beat us back because we are so bad in transition. Terry does not prepare this team. I'm not even that good at basketball and I can see that.
