    Never am quite sure who to blame that on. We sometime blame Stotts and other times blame the guards saying he is needed to help out on dribble penetration,
    but for whatever reason he does not stay with his man on the perimeter. It makes no sense to me.

    From the way it looked last night I wouldn't bet on it. Not without a shit ton of coaching and confidence. We can develop decent players in Portland. I don't know if we can do great ones. They kind of have to come with their skill set already attached.

    He has the skill set. Just needs to get stronger.

    Damn. That's just what me dad said. I'm just worried were not getting him the right coaching. That's all. He looked so lost out there yesterday.

    This is what happens when you have an 11 man rotation. Now Collins is going to be turned into Meyers mentally and get pulled every time he messes up. That's not good for his development.

    He would be a choice for the caption contest.

    Depth is nice to have, but at the end of the day quality trumps quantity. I would rather have Dame backed up by Baldwin than 2 or 3 interchangeable journeymen.

    With our excellent track record of big man coaches I have no concerns.

    Baldwin??? He's not even as good as a journeyman.

    That's the point. Having a great starter is more important.

    Can ONE player mess up our rotation that bad? So, he is taking minutes from Curry (PG) all the way to center (LM) ...

    it was certainly bad in the 3rd Q. His reactions seemed to be on a .8 sec lag compared to normal. He looked surprised by a lot of the action

    Harkless was bad too. I wonder if the rumors of Harkless being shopped and Aminu as a salary clearing trade affected both

    Stauskas has never been in a scouting report...Hood has been since he was in Utah...neither were on the scouting report for their first game as a Blazer

    If I explain the logic will you view it as an "attack"?
