Shows you the coach doesn’t coach shit. Watch any other teams third stringers, they play the same way the first or second units do. Ours do that too, but that just means the 1 and the 2 freelance while everyone else watches.

This is not one of your better takes. The number of crap players Portland has made servicablet over the last few years is pretty impressive.

All I’m saying is the coach doesn’t run an offensive system. Whether the players make or miss shots in garbage time I don’t care. I just want to see them play organized, or as organized as they can be. Our guys just run around with their heads cut off.
 
As someone that would love to see Payton Pritchard get some Rookie of the Month or Year mentions, this pains me that the Blazers atrocious defense is allowing Edwards to go off with a career night by a wide, wide margin!

The coach does run an offensive system. It's fair you don't like it, as long as you don't think it's only ISO and PnR.
 
An old fashioned blowout is just what the doctor ordered after our last 2 losses
 
Blazers defeat the Timberwolves 135-117, Blazers Uprise Post Game Show starts now!
 
Listening to Nurks post-game comments it sounds like he's got another family matter (outside of his Grandma) that he is dealing with, likely health related.

Puts things in perspective for why he's not in shape and more importantly, not mentally sharp. Family first.

Ant playing with more confidence and conviction. He just needs more meaningful minutes.

Ant could’ve had 5 assists in the 4th if players made wide open shots. I noticed he was making a big effort on D to move his feet and stay in front of his man. Seems Ant plays way better if he makes some shots. Once he goes 0-4 he starts getting in his own head.
 
Dame kind of looked like the Dame that went ballistic in Jan-Feb and the Dame that showed up in the bubble before his knee issue

I'm wondering if he was a little too determined the first 6 games to get everybody involved and lost track of the way he needs to play to push Portland into winning. And a 3 month off season is a pretty short break for a guy who carries the burden he does

sure didn't look like the declining 30 year old a couple of posters here claim he is when he isn't wearing the superman cape and averaging 45 points a game

This is basically exactly what he said after the game. He has been trying to get other involved these first few games, but wanted to come out more aggressive tonight.

Just a lot less posts in general on a night where the complainers don't have much to piss and moan about.
