    Swanigan and Whiteside score easily in their post ups due to a huge size discrepancy.

    Do we go back to them at all? No.

    What do they do instead? Continue trying to post up Melo who is 2/6 and can't get much separation on his post moves so far tonight.

    Simons blows a dunk and lead to an easy three. Story of his season.

    I wish he would just try to do that more often instead of not going up strong.

    Maybe he should just try to make it go through the hoop any way he can.

    Biggie has definitely improved since he was here last.

    He makes some good passes when he passes. Otherwise it's just not good.

    This season is garbage. Sure doesn’t look like we recognize the urgency.

    You know I'm a big proponent of feeding the big in the post. :)

    Often what happens with Whiteside is he forces less than ideal attacks because his teammates failed to set him up on plays prior that would have been actually ideal.

    Right, why would we want a guy shooting 61.1% on the fucking season forcing attacks?

    Whats super annoying is Young and company have figured out that a double team / trap at the top means theirs an open guy and are getting wide open shots. Blazers havent figured that out in years.

    At some point you start to think the fact that everyone lights us up from outside just might be because of us.

    WHAT THE FUCK?

    Trae Young is 0-4 from 3 and 2-8 from the field yet Stotts chooses now to throw double teams at him? He's not even willing to do that usually when players are actually killing us.

    You literally can't make this shit up. The only possible explanation is that he's trying to tank games, nothing else makes sense.
