    If the Blazers would play some defense and quit turning the ball over they might have a chance to win this game.

    Why aren’t we looking for Enes to score? Give him some post touches. Get Jokic in foul trouble.

    Injuries werent the issue in regards to our style of play.

    The few times Kanter has hedged/trapped he's looked noticeably better than when hes dropped.

    Personnel didnt force thisbstyle of play, that style of play exists no matter who Olshey adds to the roster.

    This is why I was saying Nurk is useless in the playoffs during the season. Check his record. He’s a coo little reg season player but he’s garbage when it really matters. Between him Cj and getting rid of Stotts I hope we can turn those guys into better players

    Great question Eric! Our coach struggles to get role players involved.

    The media isn't immune to looking at parts instead of the sum of what they bring together. There is a ton of talent on this roster, a ton. You can think that Stotts mismanages it or as I think it's a combo of Stotts not making them better and the parts not fitting.

    You know how you get players to show up? You involve them on offense. We're so much better when Nurk is involved and yet, we seldom use him.

    CJ just needs to hit his open shots and stop trying to take over. The guy should shoot when the ball finds him open but he tries to shoot himself open.

    Are you suggesting that they should not have been giving the ball to Lillard?

    It sucks we wasted this effort from Dame because the rest of his teammates are completely useless.

    No one gives a fuck about injuries. This is the playoffs. We’ve had plenty of injuries, everybody has injuries. Did you expect a sweep?
