Our man to man defense is just bad but our team is just as bad. Difference between us and the Lakers they are active and Everytime we get past a player they also have another player to pick up the ball handler.

Show me a team with bad man-to-man defenders but are a great defensive team. Team defense always starts with your ability to defend 1:1.
 
watching that dallas team and the roster they have assembled makes me jealous. The way are roster has been set up is fucking ass, not to mention how much were paying cj as well
 
I wish we had an NHL team in Portland, that way I could follow a legitimate pro sport in my home state other than the National Basketball Entertainment. WWE is truly less predictable.
 
It was a very entertaining bubble overall. They had an outside shot to even make it into the 8th and had to fight tooth and nail to get it.

It really sucks to see them totally embarrassed like this after putting in all that effort. Of course the Lakers are a better team with a lot of other advantages (ahem), but this is hard to watch.

Why should we feel bad? He's a great guy but but not a good playoff perfomer, and he is the guy who wants to keep this awful coach. Sorry i cant feel bad for him

Man this franchise ain’t nothing without him. He’s always loyal to our poor souls man. I get what your saying but I really wish the best for him on a good team he deserves it
 
Is it a good time to sit Lillard and CJ and Nurk?
Don't want them getting hurt and maybe they will be fresher for the next game?

Top players that are above average height for their position/skill sets, surround by 3pt shooters. That is how it is done!
 
The blazers are playing way to much hero ball. Do they understand if you pass the ball a couple times there will be a open man. Were there more than 3 possessions in the first half with more than one pass?

Absolutely! But he shouldn't be imune for his poor Playoff perfomance every year and especially his loyalty for freaking Stotts

yup this is what I was afraid of. I’d rather have the late lottery pick imo and not be embarrassed like this. Now Skip is happy, dame rep takes a huge hit, just bad bad bad all around


BUT in the bright side HOPEFULLY this causes positive changes !

I wouldn't...they need to make this game respectable and own the second half right now in my view...after 3rd qtr maybe trot out the end of the bench if they can't get it done
 
Reminds me of Phoenix series in 2010. We won Game 4, but mostly we got killed after winning Game 1. How did we beat these guys?

Memphis did well in the days of Zach Randolph.

I did a poor job of asking that question. A team full of bad 1:1 defenders that are a good team defensive team. Not a team with 1 bad defender that was still good at defense.
 
If there aren't wholesale changes on the coaching philosophy....

What do you expect man? He’s getting double and triple Teamed and no one is moving to help him/get open. This is 100% stotts.
