Of the current reserve players, whose minutes would you greatly reduce to get playing time for Hood?

This is where the game was lost...

Stotts thought the Blazers were going to coast to an easy victory after the 3rd so he left Dame in. You don't bring Dame back for the start of the 4th no matter how hot he was in the 3rd. We just rested him a whole game for fucks sake. Why make him play 15 minute stretches? The 2nd unit actually played decent in the first half so why not trust them? Give Dame a 4 minute rest and bring him back at 8 minutes or so instead of taking him out at 9 minutes and bringing him back with 5 minutes to play.

How the fuck did we not run plays through Nurk at all either?

Dame went NUCLEAR for the last 5:19 of the 3rd quarter going 7-9 and at one point, scoring 19 of 21 Blazer points. That was unbelievable....but is was this.

For the entire rest of the game, Dame/CJ were a combined 9-31. That is a minuscule .290 from the field. 29% on 31 shots. In another 31 shots, Nurk was 9-11, Layman 4-7, (tied for the least amount of shots he had in the last 11 games) Collins 3-3, Meyers 1-1, Hood 3-7....and we're still not to 31 shots combined yet.

To put it in another perspective, that 31 shots represents 36% of the entire shots taken by the team for the whole game. So for getting close to 40% of the game. the Blazers as a 'team' shot 29% because two players who were Brick City cold, wouldn't stop chucking and the coach wouldn't hold them accountable.

How is it Stotts can allow that kid of bricklaying when guys aren't making shots? When they are hot....feed them. But when they are AFA from 30' ice-cold, why not get shots for guys WHO ARE ACTUALLY MAKING THEM? If Stotts has that little of control (or coaching acumen), why are we forced to put up with this year after year?

One of the nicest guys you will ever meet, but there are too many examples of this every season.

For the game they took 46 percent of the shots. I do agree with you but it not the first time these two have done and still no accountable with these two.

No they didn't. They admitted they missed calls. Happens every game throughout the game to every team.

Make your FTs and it's not an issue

That's like saying "Maybe if you were perfect your wife wouldnt have left". Nobody's perfect, but that doesnt mean she didnt screw you over.

It's not like saying that at all. I'll go back and rewatch the game to see how many calls they missed on both sides. A missed call on the first possession changes the game just as on the last possession.

Not really. You have no idea how things change after that. Only one call can you say with certainty changed the outcome.

This is such a flawed argument

Not at all. An action of a foul might anger the player committing the foul and then he makes a 3 due to that anger that he otherwise would've missed. Or maybe, since the refs called that call, they don't call the next questionable call for the next team. Many different factors play out. On the last play, you dont have that. They swallowed their whistles because it was the last play of the game.
 
Frank Isola (he's annoying as F usually) rehashed the idea of a coach's challenge. Offered 2 challeneges to be used in the fourth quarters or throughout the games. They really need to brainstorm this idea in the G-league to see if it's feasible. This was after refs missed a blatant double dribble on KD in the final seconds.
