    You know, I'm starting to think this team is mediocre.

    Blazers best offense is just to chuck it up and let Kanter chase offensive rebounds.

    Yet another example of Stotts prioritizing offense over defense.

    Huh. There’s a lot of reason they are losing. Simplifying is just blaming refs like we did in 7th grade.

    Stotts would just park him in the corner too.

    I don’t disagree but I don’t think it’s clear at all.

    We haven't had any more success tonight with DJJ and Covington in vs Melo and Kanter.

    If Terry sticks with Kanter/Melo after Curry comes in I think he is literally blind.

    Honestly Kanters' been better than Nurk this season

    Both have been liabilities defensively, but at least Kanter scores

    Well you might as well stick a fork in them tonight. No fight left to play defense to try and make a run at this team. Very sad effort

    Agreed. Enes has been bad defensively, but without his rebounding and effort, we'd be completely out of this game.

    Nobody is having success on this team because Stotts is doing a horrible job at getting the best out of his players.

    Especially our new acquisitions.

    apples and oranges. The issue people have with Kanter/Melo is not Kanter or Melo, it’s Kanter AND Melo.

    I know Kanter's defense is bad...amd Melo + Kanter is a disaster....but the Blazers would be down 23 points in this game if it wasn't for Kamter's work on the offensive glass

    Nurk really let the team down by coming into camp out of shape. Changes everything.
