    4 more turnovers, minus 5 on offensive rebounds ( and minus 6 on 3-pointers made.
    Yes, just not in Portland. Gresham, Newberg, Woodburn, Oregon City. and some more

    I think there is one in Newport. Unless I'm thinking of an Izzys' (is pizza and a whole lot more).

    Always thought Tolliver would be better with the starter's and that this could be a starting lineup.

    Gotta quick giving up those 3 pointers. It's not a good sign.

    Nope, it confirmed my thoughts. Strong defensive unit.. Leaving lots of firepower for the second.

    I'm very annoyed already at whiteside screens. It's partially on the guard's and I'm sure it will get better but he isn't getting in guys ways at all. It feels like every pick he sets to the on-ball defender he doesn't really create an obstacle, or get any flesh or anything they just duck around him like he's not there. Hopefully it's just preseason, and he and the guards not being on the same page for when they need to go and when he needs to be there, but it's a little bit... yikes.

    when you give them about 20 extra possessions, it factors into those shots

    Tolliver is going to be OK once he gets in shape and gets his shot back.

    I really haven't been impressed with Tolliver on either end. I also think defensively Zach and Whiteside is better than Tolliver and Whiteside but it's preseason so who knows...

    Zach while an amazing interior defender has still yet to prove he can guard the perimeter.

    See I kind of disagree I think he's a much better perimeter defender than Tolliver. His problem is not getting enticed into committing bad fouls out there, but he's long and quick out there and he moves his feet really well.

    It would also bring some credibility there (not in the sense that he's a big wig, but why would he leave a guaranteed job for something that is unknown and potentially not real?).
