    Hassan never raises his arms much outside the post much unless he has the ball..he seems to like to windup for a block like a pitcher

    Irving is way too good at finding the open man. In that situation against Kyrie Irving i disagree.

    I dont give a shit if Lillard scored 150... if there is no win, it doesnt matter at all. Fucking disappointed right now.

    No they didn’t. I looked it up and apparently the 3-9 year was when they lost to the spurs. Sorry idk how I confused that

    Thats why I’m suspecting something serious or drama must have happened right after that. You can’t just completely collapse like this. Especially a Dame run team he’s the best leader in the NBA

    CJ this year is increasingly reminding me of Batum. Occasional good or great game but too often just disappears. Only this is worse, Batum would just disappear, CJ keeps trying to shoot his way through and becomes increasingly ineffective and more predictable.

    Terry is watching his job slip away if we keep losing games like this...this is the most stressed I've seen him start a season..the new guys aren't making it look too good right now

    Whatever the situation is, they gotta fix the roster. I had hoped it was a better overall roster than last years, but I think it's not. I'm not saying they should've kept the guys from last year though.

    I will say that Nurks injury hurts them sooooooo much more than I think any of us thought it would.

    Isn’t he engaged to be married this spring/early summer? He does seem a bit distracted?

    If the loss to Golden State wasn’t a wake-up call, then nothing is.

    I didn't think McCollum could shoot worse. But he did. 4 for 19. Worst overall shooting percentage of the season.

    Seriously after 9 games i have not been impressed with Whiteside. I just thought he would be a better rim protector. One thing i did notice is he needs to be pumped up. He is lackluster but when gets going he can bring energy. I think losing Hood tonight had a bit of an effect again also.

    He's like Dale Davis. Slow, out of shape, and lazy. At least Davis was a leader at times.

    Isn't he also way too good at scoring near the hoop when there's no help defense? Lillard always seems to run into 2 or 3 defenders. Irving had one young player.

    I never realized how slow Dale Davis was until he played for the Blazers.

    He's a shoot first player, I would always take my chances there over giving him a 1 on 1 lane to score with.

    Can't disagree with that at all.
