6 offensive rebounds conceded and I think Portland has scored on every one of them.

This is how it's been for 2 seasons pretty much. And with our bench being good I don't mind it.

When it's 9 man rotation later on during the season when things get more serious, there is more staggering as Franz plays with the 2nd unit.

3rd/4th is when in normal close games, they sit less usually. This stint during the 2nd is usually when the bench gets their longest run.

Bench did not play well. If we didn’t have Anthony we would be down like 10.
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

Energy is lacking a bit. Wendell really shows bad body language when things aren't going his way.

They’ll start missing soon.

But I don’t understand why our best players are getting so few minutes.

Ingles is a liability and this team is too deep to have to suffer from his minutes.

Yeah, Fultz needs to be back in the game to direct traffic.

It’s a lack of effort right now. Not going for rebounds, not closing out on shooters. Too early in the season to be playing this lazy.
