    It annoys me when guys like moe, or fans here and elsewhere make excuses for his laziness by saying hes just asked to sit in the corner, nothing is ran for him, hes an afterthought, etc. And then you watch layman be aggressive and make himself a part of the offense with hard smart cuts and what not.

    Well said. The thing I like most about Layman is that he MOVES. He makes an effort to get himself open and make plays.

    Jake has played 3 positions so far tonight. I like the versatility.

    I want Moe traded more than ET(almost) just to open up those minutes. Seems obvious to me other than D(when Moe is motivated) that Jake is an upgrade in every other category.

    I agree some what if there not practice it or it not in game plan that Phoenix does pressure and be ready for it then I would it the coach fault. But if they have and the players don't adjust it I blame the players. Dame and Et been playing in this league long enough to being able to handle the pressure and they been around long enough to adjust how there getting play.

    Harkless knows that's Terry wants. Terry knows his job is based on making Dame happy. As long as you frame what Dame does well, you'll make it on this team. This Blazers team exists to keep Dame's profile high and Terry employed.

    You’re not usually this down even in game threads, hope you’re alright and just frustrated at the team.

    You can't be served meat loaf every day for four and a half years and convince yourself it's prime rib every day. Plus I'm still pissed about the OKC game.

    I’ll be pretty disappointed if we don’t add an above average piece atleast at the deadline. Our pick, Simons, whatever else should be in play. Then again I say that every year.
