    Thank you B-N-M. Every time I read someone post Felton is a good defender, I just shake my head and laugh. It was clear by the 3rd game of the season the Blazers F'd up losing Andre for Felton, regardless of stats.

    McMillan gave management the specs he wanted in a defender. Felton met them and Miller didn't, so they went after Felton.

    You guys should mention the name McMillan when you criticize Felton. We can keep changing players, but nothing will change till we change the coach.

    So your answer to my question is "no, I don't know what a pick and roll looks like?" Because if you truly think Felton and LaMarcus run a good pick and roll together that's the only logical conclusion I can draw.

    Re the "they don't run good pick and rolls together part" I agree with you. Last night's game was a perfect example, and it was glaring late in the fourth quarter. LaMarcus kept trying to do it, on the rare occasion Felton even used the pick, he then took off the wrong direction with the ball and failed to give an open LaMarcus the ball time after time. I could not believe my eyes.

    Edit: Granted, those were more like pick and pops, but the point stands, I think. This 'roll' thing seems to be completely foreign to the Blazers.
