    Blazers could use the fresh legs of Little and DJJ on the 2nd of a back to back

    The team needs to re-visit their pledge that "enough is enough".

    2nd night of a back to back, can't defend for shit, team is making mental mistake after mental mistake on the defensive end, yet Derrick Jones Jr, Nassir Little, and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson don't see the floor at all... Dame is on pace to play 40 minutes after playing 39 minutes last night even though he's been banged up lately... We've seen what running him into the ground before the playoffs has done for him in previous seasons... Just a horrible mismanagement of minutes by Terry Stotts.

    I see we are back to letting some dude go off from three. If it wasn't for Bogdan, the hawks would be toast right now.

    You don’t even need to double or look at the ball. Just look at Bogi

    When a team coached by Nate McMillan drops 68 on you in a half you may need to improve your defense a little.

    Also an eight man rotation on the 2nd of a back to back seems a little stupid.

    So basically if we were smart enough to not play 10 feet off of him when he's one pass away, we'd be set?

    I agree. Very frustrating that silly defensive mistakes like that as well as Melo thinking Solomon Hill is more of a threat from 60 feet than a guy wide open running towards the rim is what's causing us to lose this game. Doubly frustrating that we have 3 good defenders fresh on the bench and we refuse to use them.

    This game might be perfect for those who haven't been able to piss and moan as much lately. Another road, underdog win by the Blazers might be the only thing that could spoil their fun.
