Sweet dish by Trent to Kanter. Didn't know he had such court vision

Our second unit offensive is so fucking bad. It's isolation every fucking possession. We have a lot of offensive talent on this unit but the bench is absolute dogshit because our "offensive genius" of a head coach just lets guys go one-on-one constantly, usually resulting in the worst shot in basketball (a contested, fade-away mid-range shot).

Do people still claim we dont need a backup PG?
This is exhibit A for why we need one
 
For those (not me) who like to cite assists as a good indicator of ball & player movement, you should be happy tonight.
  • 23 assists on 37 field goals - 62%
  • 24 assists on 43 field goals - 56%
 
Well, that was an absolute clusterfuck. On defense we looked both lost and a step slow. On offense we couldn't throw a beach ball in the ocean and it looked like almost everyone had dead legs. Guys were fumbling balls away on both ends. No one and I mean no one seems in sync in any way. All of that is bad but I have one big fear about the early season.

Do any of you get the feeling that because this coaching staff was so hellbent on instituting these new defensive schemes, might they have neglected conditioning? I have never seen us miss so many shots off the front rim before and it's not like the shot after the one that hit the front rim for any of our guys hit the back rim... those hit the front rim again. Between the shooting and the slow movement on both ends I think not only is this team completely disconnected mentally because of psyching themselves with the talk of "all of the changes" (I just heard that a lot in all of the preseason interviews) but they're also out of shape.

Damn... I actually think for whatever reason Dame didn't even have his legs tonight. So disappointing but if anyone wants to make a snap judgment that this means we're going to miss the playoffs or some shit like that, be my guest. You're going to look stupid because the talent that's on this team is really good and talent wins in this league. Terrible terrible game but still... GO BLAZERS!!!
 
From the way Hurd is talking it sounds like one or some of the players are pissed off.

Stotts was optimistic coming into this game because his offense could not be stopped in scrimmages.
