    So frustrating watching this team. They just seem to phone in some games, settle for easy shots, don't come to the ball hard, play lackluster defense. It's like the team that's good but thinks that it's better than it is. The Blazers are great when they are focused and really aggravating when they aren't.

    Lets see if Terry adjusts the defense on Curry out of the halftime break.

    Probably not.

    Yep, been that way for most of Stotts tenure. It's maddening how inconsistent the effort levels are with this team. One game they can look smart, crisp (well, crisp-ish) and then another one they just resort back to the mindset of "well, we won the other game/we have the lead so the other team is going to fold over!"

    Ive had enough of Melo and Kanter to last a season. Terry is fucking blind if he can't see how much better Harry is than these two.

    Why are we not doubling, tripling curry? Why are kanter and Melo still playing together? Where is Giles?

    I would just put Trent out there whenever Curry is in the game.

    Well Stotts need adjust the defense there no reason trying hedge far from the rim by our centers especially both lack lateral quickness. Nurk got couple blocks when he was closer to the rim. Trent was actually was effective on Curry but last 2 times CJ was on him that doesn't make sense. We came back to earth with 3 I think Dame trying force to much that's leading to turnovers and some bad shots. Yes the warriors are aggressive and there getting away with a lot numbing.

    You don't need elite lateral quickness to hedge a screen...

    CJ has gone full MeJ in this game...the most MeJ this season so far

    Melo is unpleasant to watch

    Portland's White-Euro-Big combo has some serious flaws

    I just don’t get it. Managing the egos of players that are fringe NBA players shouldn’t take priority over winning.

    Nothing will save Terry from Melo besides an injury.

    Heres 6 for 13 when no one else can hit a shot when no one else is cutting or moving. He's playing fine.

    If your hard hedging you don't need that much but we not hard hedging that far out from basket so got disagree with that assumption that don't need lateral quickness but that's my opinion.

    to be accurate Dame has 3 turnovers. One was on an obvious kicked ball the officials missed; the other was on a phantom offensive foul under the GS basket. The bad shots have mostly been by MeJ

    Huh? Why don’t you blame lillard? He isn’t doing shit. Turnovers like crazy, dumb ass shots, if it wasn’t for cj we’d be blown out by now
