Ayton's free-throws per 36 and true shooting % have dropped since coming to Portland.

He has really good foot speed for a big guy and I think Chauncey does a lousy job of taking advantage of that.

Without the post game.

Aldridge could, and did, but he avoided it when he could.

That Rocket series was peak.

As it should have been from the beginning.

That's why Billups, while good at coaching what he has, is pretty crappy when the team is fully healthy at prioritizing the offense.

not a coach in the league would sit or bring A&A off the bench when healthy.

Then that's a problem with NBA coaches.

I remember a game where Alridge shot like 1-11 in the first half, mostly his long-range 2-point shots.

That was a different time when it wasn't clear that that kind of shot time after time is not a good plan.

I rarely read anyone’s posts, I just post my own thoughts then check back a few times later to see how many likes I got.

Smart……but here you are quoting a post by me you obviously read.

It’s basically like I transcend the laws of forum member rules

You do transcend some things but I’m not sure we want to go there?

You know you want to go there

I was told last years #1 pick was on the court last night……

He is a good defender but needs to add weight.

I think I can speak for HCP here. HCP does not have time to lend his expertise to Risacher's development.

Ha! How does it go?
BAM!

Not sure why you’re confused, but there was this old Chinese philosopher, I forget his name, who used to say “Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance”. Hopefully that makes you feel better about being confused

The extent of my ignorance is vast and complex. With it comes a deep inner peace.

Something I often say this to my wife is….if I know I’m ignorant, can I really be ignorant?

Absolutely. Self awareness does nothing for outward awareness. However I don't speak to my wife about being ignorant. She already knows I am a dumbass. I get an eye-roll or head-shake on a daily.
