    Well. At least the Ducks won the conference title. Probably the only thing this state will win for a while.

    This team looks tired and disorganized already. For fuck's sake, it's the 2nd Quarter!

    Not sure what Dame is doing out there. 0 on defense and forcing up junk on offense

    These long stretches of garbage play make me wonder why Stotts doesn't call time and kick their ass.

    If we lose this game.....if we lose to a 10-win team.....that is entirely on Stotts.

    Seems like this season has dissolved into... let's try to get Dame and CJ open as much as possible and fuck everything else. Sometimes they have a game plan but when the other team rallies they fold quickly.

    This is on dame. Stotts isnt the one driving into 3 guys, throwing it away, and complaining to refs while his man gets a wide open 3.

    This has already happened twice

    Maybe he's too gassed, but we need to run more plays through Nurk. Let him try to hit cutters to the rim.

    That's about 1/8th of the problem out there. The biggest problem is the general disorganization on the court. And THAT is on Stotts.

    Sometimes the Blazers run their offense and sometimes Damian decides to go 1 on 1 and force up a terrible shot. Damian should spend the offseason studying players like John Stockton who picked their moments, got their teammates involved and were highly efficent.

    Agreed.

    It would help his stamina out by running it through him more often so he's not getting burnt out running around setting screens on offense.

    Young is great for now but long term it seems like most successful team have a good mix with some savy veterans to help win more close games and not have longer losing streaks. And the locker room value is so much more important than potential when it comes to taking the step to elite.

    I think this season is just a bump. Dame will probably take some time and realize how to change his game. He's learning his limitations. He know's his ceiling now.

    Plus he's shown enough talent and ability that I think he should take some looks away from CJ and Dame. At least half the time either of them think about taking mildly-moderately contested threes they should instead feed Nurkic.
