Boston has a perennial 6MOTY guy on a 4 year deal for like 7.5M AV. Unreal. I thought it was a trash contract, Brad is a killer.
Yep. This. Simons should be a 6th man, but that will never happen in Portland.
When White and Pritchard combine for 84 points, you know it's just not going to be your night...
I didn't particularly like the coaching in this game. It seemed like the Blazers were over helping all game long, which led to a TON of wide open 3pt shot attempts. I get that aggressive help is part of Chauncey's scheme...but at a certain point you have to say "NO MORE HELP", stay attached, and force Boston to take some 2pt shots, and hope that changes their rhythm a little bit.
I also felt like the Blazers defaulted to a slower, half-court pace, which was a mistake. They looked better when they pushed pace just slightly and made the Cs play on their heels.
Seemed like Blazers got a little bit trapped in a shootout, 2s vs. 3s, and any kind of shootout with Boston is going to be an L.
The problem is... when Scoot plays the way he dis last night, I'd much rather see Simons on the floor.
Depends on what you're looking for, I suppose...
Simons turns 26 in a couple of months. Scoot just turned 21. Let's see how Scoot looks in 5 years...
