Blazers are also tied for 26th in rebound rate. A good team can't be in the bottom third of the league in both

Rebound might be because we are taking the ball out of the net so much might be one reason for us being so low. Then the might be the worst defense in the league probably a another factor why we so low in the league on the boards. Until we figure out you can't switch off a 6'3 guard on a 6'7 or 6'8 fowards and believe your going be successful then you out of your mind especially when there names are George and his partner. Are guards produce quiet a lot on the offense end but there getting there ass handed to this year on the other end.

While we're drawing conclusions from 4 games worth of stats:

CJ's win share is 6 times higher than Dame's.

Covington/DJJ are worse shooters than Aminu/Harkless were in Portland.

I could add many other "meaningful" stats through 4 games.

But our wings are not a big key in our offense and never will as long Stotts is the coach because we are guard oriented offense and for our guards to react to want the defense is showing them. Problem we got 2 guards that not shot that didn't look good them. This year even the center is not involved very much either.

This is a chicken or the egg debate: Are our forwards not great offensive players because they're not a big key in our offense or are they not a big key in our offense because they're not big offensive threats? I would love for us to get an elite wing to settle the debate!

We've used guys like Matthews and Batum in the past and I haven't seen Aminu, Harkless, Bazemore, and Tolliver light the world on fire since leaving Portland.

I agree we are a guard oriented offense, as our gurards are our best offensive players. Our assists are up over 10% this year.

But back to my original point: stats through 4 games don't hold much meaning to me.
 
Until we trade CJ and fire Stotts....

When your 2 guards shoot 31 times last game and other 3 only get 14 shots there balance issue. Plus we need 3 scorer it use to be Nurk last few year but this hasn't happened yet.
 
Trade:
CJ & Little for Levine & Young
Scoring and younger and we get scoring D and an old guy with 1 year left, but is better than Carmelo at 4, at this point.

I agree but with one minor addition - we need the triumvirate gone, CJ, Stotts and Olshey. Also if Jody doesn’t care about winning championships, and only cares about the financials, then you can add a new owner to the list as well.

"where it starts" is not the same as "share in the blame"

Defense is about effort, and schemes. If you don't enforce it, or make it punitive when they don't play it, that's on the coach.

Why can't they both be true? "Where it starts" is exactly that....the starting point. It's not the entire thing or the whole.

It appears our opponents would like Dame and CJ to take less shots too.
 
this turned ugly pretty fast.

why all the personal attacks? for sure, go at the post but leave the vindictive personal shit out.
 
See this is why i don't like deleting posts. I missed all the popcorn read...

sly how much more work would it be to move deleted posts to the OT for members reading pleasures?

im fully aware it may be my posts moved at times, but dammit, some of us not on here all the time deserve the entertainment just as much as the others...

make it happen and ill erase your name and number from the 82nd av. Walmart bathroom wall.
I promise.

Wow, this has gone way too far. I am flagging this and other posts from you. These are obviously personal attacks and there is no place for them in here.

Why am I still able to read them?
