Tolliver has bobbled at least 3 passes, doesn’t box out , and we have no rim protection with him playing center. Terry is doing this on purpose.

Tolliver is a complete travesty. I can not believe he is sniffing the court. Oh my gosh he’s vomit in the wind. Don’t comprehend the playing time.
From Portland to Reno to Vegas to LA to SLC and on to HotLanta. Winning at life. Too Blessed to be Stressed

Me either. I just cant believe he was a good shooter. Does a poor job getting his feet under him and shoots on the way down. And oof his defense is bad, rather have Skal.

This team has a really strong smell of a .500 at best team. Maybe when Nurk comes back it will give us a boost, but it might be too late for the West this year. I know it's early yadda yadda, but this team just isn't particularly good at anything.

Well when you have Lillard that is always something when he is on fire this team is harder to beat, and he finds himself on fire in quite a few games.

**** I can think of like 10-15 games each season that might have been losses if Lillard didn't light it up in the 4th.

Damn 4 point game all of a sudden, CJ getting it done offensively.

We lost 15 straight with Tolliver. Out and then we’re back in the game. Stotts is honestly ridiculous.

Blazers are a very focused team on advanced analytics I'm pretty sure Tolliver will see less minutes soon.

Evan Turners tenure here makes me think otherwise.

One is a player making $3.29 million per season the other was making $16.39 million I think Stotts was mostly pushed to play Turner to make sure his trade value didn't drop off the face of the earth. Even so Turner is about 2-3 times more effective than Tolliver Turner may be overpaid but he had some great games as a Blazer and even at his worst he was still better than Tolliver so far.

Turner was also one of our few ball handlers on the bench so it kind of forced minutes for him, It's not like the bench was filled with guys that could handle the ball.

Putting yourself in a worse position to win games because of contracts. I just don’t believe that conjecture.

A worse position you are vastly underrating Turner he was overpaid not horrible, try watching the games with him in it. **** I can recall the Denver series both Aminu and Harkless were getting 100% burned by Millsap and they put Turner on him and he was far more effective.

He played well for 2 games in one series. Instead of using an anecdote why don’t you look at his on off status over the 3 years he was here?

The on off stats that usually put Turner with the bench unit that would constantly lose leads? Sure I will look at that, another guy that values on/off over everything as it's the **** holy grail.

News flash if you play most of your minutes with Lillard+Nurkic+CJ you will look MUCH better on the on/off buddy.

That last Dallas shot of the half was not from an Euro-step, but a Euro, African, and Asian step. Truly ridiculous what some players are allowed to do.
