The Blazers are just losing to lull the rest of the league into a false state of security, and then when they do, BAM - they're gonna lose in the first round. It's genius, honestly.

Bro you are almost getting to JINKSPEED's level of random ass thread for random ass thoughts. Who the fuck is Ian Karmel and why does this deserve it's own thread? You created the Rop one as well? I still don't know who the fuck that is.

It's Dame's defense, that's what losing us the games. Until he improves, we can't be competitive

Absolutely right.

He hasn't improved his defense (:confused::confused::confused:)

We should bench him and start Simons.


And while were at it lets trade for TRob. His Defense would get us a ring. Ever since we let him go, we have been a worse team.....

Yeah, his defense on the other teams starting 5 is inexcusable.

We've been outscoring other teams when Dames on the court in losses. Literally pulling that straight outta ya ass.

Just like pretty much everything else, but lets not forget who has all the bball knowledge around here.

And oh yeah. Trob was an all star that just didnt get developed.....

Trob will turn it around at some point and become an all star in the nba for sure :mook:
 
You can try to make fun of me as much as you want. I realise the truth hurts. But if you watch even just highlights, you'll see he's always away from the action, never help defends (doesn't understand how), stays with his man like he's their top player when he's always matched on the other team's weakest opposing guard, doesn't rotate on pick and rolls making their big wide open. He's our best offensive player, but he's also the player who gets the most minutes and for 40 minutes per game, our defense sucks.

Now I expect that if you reply, reply to the points I made, don't try to bait me or insult me
 
I'm now watching the Raptors game and Dame is doing a better job defensively, why? Because he's guarding their leading guard, VanVleet.
Dame is not a bad one-on-one defender when he doesn't get stuck on screens, he isn't good but he isn't terrible.
What we need to do is have Dame guard the other team's leading guard. I realise most games it'd be someone much better than VanVleet but if we want to make Dame part of the defense and he only plays man-to-man defense at least have him guarding the ball, with the rest of the team playing the team defense

If you watch Portlands guards, they all play exactly the same on defense they’re constantly behind their man and the bigs are always forced into bad positions with someone quicker than them coming down hill. Aminu and Harkless are really the perimeter guys on the team who have the length and accelaration needed to play Stotts’ system. Yes while Dame, CJ, Nik, etc are not great defenders, most of why it looks so bad belongs on Stotts’ shoulders. I know they ended up in the top 10 defensively last year but that was mostly on Nurks shoulders as losing all that weight did clearly help him fit Stotts scheme in the paint, its still kind of ugly though.
