    Because I've seen this rodeo before. We play exactly in Summer League like we did this past off-season. Which means no adjustments to the playbook. Which means Stotts is still gonna sit there with that "who what?" look on his face while the other team racks up 12 points before he calls a timeout.

    I've seen this rodeo before. It's depressing.

    We struggled against the #27 team. How do you think we're gonna do against the #1 team?

    Well no.... it's the opposite of that. We're looking at the entire body of his work this summer.

    I mean... we missed how many free throws that would have iced the game? We were trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!

    Great game by swanigan and Goodwin. Swanigan and Zach had total 28 boards together. Zach still need to work on getting stronger. Trent still haven't miss a free throw but still need to finish at the rim. Trent play another strong defense game. Layman took his self out game with fouls. Baldwin has played good up to this game and now I can see him being a head case when things don't go his way.

    Blazers didn't shoot well from outside tonight. It was their scrappiness and intestinal fortitude that got it done. Got to get the shooters {Jenkins, Layman, Trent Jr., Simon) open looks tomorrow night. If they do, Blazers win. Hopefully Wade can settle down, focus, and get back to making plays.

    Offense was sloppy but the defense was there all game. I really like how Trent plays at his own pace, even when the game got chaotic. He plays like a vet, it’s easy to forget he’s only 19.

    Baldwin was probably pressing against his former team, but the defense was there. Refs didn’t do him any favors but he also forced too many things. But his game is getting to the line. He’ll be fine.

    That was a good game by Swanigan. More of that.

    Loved watching Collins talk shit.

    Brokeback Cowboy Jade has seen this rodeo before. Even though he complains all the time, he can't quit this forum.

    No tears. I simply see no need for childish insults. Are you a child, or an adult?

    WB4 has played well in this league. Many can make a case for him to be SLMVP.
    He can defend at an NBA level, no question.
    But I saw some of the same issues which has kept him off the floor last season.
    In the first half I watched WB4 spot up in the corner for three. He got the ball late in the clock, wide open.
    Instead of taking that shot, and living with the result.(which is clearly what Portland's offense is about)
    He decided to drive to the paint and take a contested, fading away jumper. It was missed, Collins got the board and Portland scored.
    I 100% can tell you the coaching staff has told WB4 he needs to be ready to shoot if he's open. Turning down wide open threes is going to get him benched.
    If he makes that same play when Lillard or CJ kick it to him for a corner three... He's going to get benched, and rightfully so.
    If Aminu has the green light, there is no reason why WB4 should be afraid of taking that shot.

    I don't care about the turnovers, I don't care about the missed shots, or the overdriving.
    WB4 must make the correct basketball play and take a wide open corner three. Not turn it down because you're concerned about missing.

    In the words of the great Bill Schonely - "you've GOT to make your free throws."

    ok dude....how you can find a 6th win in a row depressing is on you...I felt good about the win and as usual you have the doom and gloom and why even try? post to enforce MORE negative affirmations....I'm an adult....I didn't enjoy your take on the win...there were players who played well. They should be cheered from my view. Complaining constantly just gets old in a game thread....my 2 cents. You're free to continue but understand....it really doesn't add anything for many of us
