That might've been Mo's worse game of the season. I've been a supporter of his this year but my faith is definitely fading, Eric Maynor was better for us last year. Just based off Mo's career with the Bucks, Cavs and Clippers I'm expecting him to improve his play. But for a guy on the wrong side of 30 that is far from certain. There is a big opportunity for CJ or someone on the roster to become that solid 6th man we need.
Also, I think the staff moves Lillard off the ball to try and get Mo's rhythm going. At this point I think the focus needs to be entirely on what is best for Lillard. If Lillard is more effective off the ball so he can take a rest from bringing the ball up the court then that is fine, but if Lillard needs the rock in his hands to get a rhythm Mo should be the odd man out.
Wright has been a bit disappointing as well this year.
We can't expect Olshey to bat 1000%, he made a great move with Lopez but maybe he didn't quite hit singles with the other moves. Are they just foul balls? The bench is now only below average instead of historically bad. Well who knows.... maybe I'm overreacting to a rare loss. I'll have to take a fresh look at it after our next few games.
I'm still not in the make a trade camp, as I think its extremely hard to integrate new players into the team at this point of the season. Historically that doesn't lead to success in the playoffs. Its far better to make offseason roster changes.
