    He runs our offense about as well as anyone. Just needs to cut down on the lazy/bad passes.

    People still say he's a poor ball handler, but I think he does just fine.

    Watch how unselfish Portland is in rebounding the ball. You just don't see 2 guys fighting over a rebound that is clearly going to be grabbed by a Blazer, that you did last season. They're already moving up the court instead of getting bogged down securing the ball.

    It's not has ball handling, it's his lackluster passing at times.

    Duh, Hickson is gone. He was padding his stats for his next contract.

    Our defensive rotations are a step slow. Everyone is just watching and assuming someone else is going to make the stop.

    LMA needs to attack the boards. Rebounds aren't just gonna come to him (well, sometimes they do).

    Wes has definitely cooled off from the perimeter.
