It's sad that a team starting Kendrick Nunn, Derrick Jones, Duncan Robinson, Bam Adebayo, and Meyers Leonard is "sooo much better" than our team.

It really is, but I think Nunn, Duncan Robinson and Bam are all actually good players though.

Put them in Portland's system and that would not be the case. Good for Spo for coaching a system that gets them easy/open looks.
 
Everyone who hopes we stil making the Playoffs should go to a doctor and check the brain
 
Since we are not beating the Raptors, we should rest both Dame and CJ

Blazers have had easy looks they've just bricked or in one case air balled.
 
this team def. goes 4-14 over the next 18
nothing they do really works.
 
Wow almost down by 20. That is truly remarkable. I was joking to myself that this team will be down 20 by half. I perhaps overestimated them.

Man I wish we had the defensive talent and length Miami has.

Me too, we keep talking about their offense, but our defense lets every one we play do this. Maybe the problem is they can't stop anyone, and yeah part of that is coaching / system I hate Stotts' defensive schemes, but part of it is they just don't have a good defender on the team (that's healthy).

They had Dragic, Herro, Robinson, Johnson, and Bam in the game when you posted this. Not exactly talent or length. It's the scheme.

Or maybe they have a coach that adjusts to his player's strengths instead of forcing all his players to conform to his system.

Their coach doesn't have a great track record when he doesn't have 3 HOF players in their prime. Last 5 years, made the playoffs twice, won 1 series, all in a weak conference.

Compared to Melo, Trent, Tolliver, and Ant that looks like an all-world defensive club.

Completely disagree, they don't have anyone other than maybe Bam that has more defensive talent than any Blazers.
 
hoopsjock said:
Yes, they do because they're actually taught how to play defense as a team.

I'm so jealous of all these people who get access to what is taught at practices and timeouts of all 30 NBA teams. I'd pay big money for that access.

Well you're free to that opinion, but I Think one for one down the two rosters every single player on Miami is a better defender than their counter part except ML / Whiteside. At least of the guys playing.

Oh look, Terry switched it up. Why the hell he didn't go into the game with these defensive assignments is BEYOND ME. Fuck dude. I'm so tired of having such a shitty coaching staff. That is one of the most obviously dumb coaching mistakes all season.

He did.
 
Lay up....lay up....lay up....

.....sadly, that is not Portland's offense.

If you can't tell when a team can actually play good team defense and when they can't then you should probably not make fun of people who can.

No way, please tell me you're not serious.

Who on the Heat is considered a good defender? Oh wait, yes the lockdown players Meyers Leonard and Goran Dragic!
