We might need to keep either Collins or Whiteside in at all times for interior defense

Yeah, that might be a necessity.

Why take out Skal? I am failing to see what Tolliver is bringing to this game. Seems like a nice guy, but needs to be on the bench

Bench really needs to work to set guys up more this is way too much ISO bull from this team.

Blazers already have 8 turnovers.

Millsap allowed to shove Collins off with no call yet Blazers get called for less of a shove than that twice in the 1st quarter. As I type that Denver with another **** shove no call hey REFS CALL IT BOTH WAYS!

The defense was horrible with Skal in the middle. You can see a difference with Zach in instead.

I think their point was to take out tolliver and play collins with skal. But I think Stotts is experimenting with lineups which makes sense to do early in the season if they can at least keep the game close.

Dame hasn't really been in the game besides his dunk in traffic. So there's that.

Maybe if this game was being called both ways it would be closer

The answer to the trivia question I believe is Kiki Vandeweghe

Did Hassan get injured on that last play?

Yeah the POR starters have been clearly better, and stotts was experimenting with bench lineups.

What Blazer scored the most points in the season opener and IIRC Kiki managed 48 in his debut game for Portland

Could Whiteside catch one pass from Lillard?

I've liked hood so far

monopoman · Post #59 » by **monopoman** » Thu Oct 24, 2019 3:17 am

Starting 5 unit is looking about 10-20 times better than the bench right now.

Ugh, can't stand it when guys whose only job is to be shooters miss those wide open shots.
