    He's giving Sengun nightmares.

    Sharpe creating an open 3 for Ant. Nice.

    Such incredibly bad coaching to let Camara get his 4th foul with Murray and Rupert giving you good minutes.

    It's sad we see very little of this 2-man game.

    You can get a good rhythm passing back and forth and also cause the defense to make a mistake.

    "Simons, you dribble the air out of the ball. Sharpe, you go stand in the corner." WTF is that.

    What is the malfunction with this coaching staff that it can't seem to keep track of the foul situation?

    Two straight nights they put guys in early foul trouble back into the game only to almost immediately have them commit another foul. That's coaching malpractice.

    And can someone give Clingan a scouting report on Sengun? Good lord, stop leaving your feet and spinning around to play defense on the guy. Just extend and if he wants to shoot 15 footers over you, let him.

    It's not bad coaching. It's like there's no coaching.

    All that fancy dribbling by Ant that means absolutely nothing because he misses or loses the ball.

    Can't look at Grants first half stats and tell me he's not valuable.

    It's like Billups has never watched Simons play ball ever.

    Simons can be a great rhythm shooter, but he needs help from his teammates moving the ball or just passing it back and forth to him like Sharpe did moments ago.

    He sure is. I wish he'd get more stand-still 3-point attempts. There are instances where he's waiving his arms alone in the corner. Those are the looks Boston, OKC, Golden State are working hard to get and the Blazers barely try or look it off at times.

    This is a young team. Should be fundamentals all the way. Seems like they could use them.
