    Man, the Boston announcers would fit right in here with how they whine about the refs. Listening to them feels like reading a game thread !

    Rozier sucks, like really sucks

    Look at his fg% this year, or his entire career for that matter

    That's why they got Dozier, for when Rozier's out. We need to find a good Dillard.

    If aminu had only taken those 33 swish 3s himself he'd have scored 99 points

    Who would have the better record between the Blazers and Timberwolves. Since he is going to lose he was supposed to not say anything bad about Olshey for 7-10 days (I'll have to look it up exactly) and every day during that stretch would have to post something genuinely nice about him. If I lost I would've had to do the same only criticizing Olshey, not praising him.

    I get sick of the people who have said every off season for the last 6 years that Minnesota has passed us.

    Tommy Hindendson is always a piece of work. "That's a foul" he is always lamenting. Their broadcast crew is one of the 5 worst.

    Ha! If credit is due here then what about blame for the rest of the season when the team plays .500 ball? If he’s such a good coach then why can’t he keep the team motivated for a longer stretch than just a few weeks?

    Well, to his credit, he has had the Blazers finish ahead of expectations pretty much each season.

    Only because expectations are low every off-season after an early playoff fizzle.

    But they continually surpass expectations while several other teams never meet their expectations. Minnesota is a perfect example.

    I'll agree with you on this. I've actually seen him grab contested rebounds for, seemingly, the first time in his career.
    He's still an absolute SHIT ball-handler. To suggest otherwise is fucking idiotic. His saving grace is that he is more conservative in his attempts, not that he's gotten better.

    He has gotten better in both his decision making and ball handling ability. Nobody is saying he has Kyrie Irving handles but to not see any improvement seems odd.
