    Kanter will win you some games in the regular season against bad teams.

    He is unplayable against good ones. Holy hell.

    Well, that was discouraging. This and then Memphis games.

    We can't finish, and it became apparent to me watching tonight that in a big game we're still a two-player team.

    We were outhustled. We are good on the boards typically, but in a game with a playoff atmosphere, we got pounded inside.

    We missed easy shots. Kanter just doesn't look like the starting-caliber big I thought he'd be. He was so soft and missed so many bunnies.

    Just very discouraged after these two games. Very discouraged.

    Kanter played great D tonight but he'll get unwarranted blame.

    Blazers beat Warriors twice and swept Boston. Really shows where we stand on the food chain.

    It’s on the decision to aquire Kanter. We should have acquired a point guard for the second unit to play with Collins Leonard Hood Curry.

    It's because our clutch time offense is pick n roll only. It's so fucking basic. We dont run sets in crunch-time. We ran the same look down the floor every goddamn time.

    No. Many more games to play and we have tiebreaker over Houston if it comes to that.

    Kanter playing tells you what Stotts thinks of defense. Not only is he overall flat terrible, he clogs the offense and now Hood and Layman are out of their games just being spot up '3'-pt shooters.

    I've been trying to get excited about the Blazers all season long. I was starting to get there during the road trip. But this + MEM is a reminder that beating EC teams - even on the road - doesn't mean shit. The 2nd best EC team would be a borderline PO team in the WC.

    I'm sure Kenny & Chuck are regretting their half-time proclamations. As long as this team utilizes Terry and Aminu we'll do nothing.
