Zach also needs to be more aggressive on the offensive end. Only two shot attempts thus far. Give him some of Melo's shots

When you have a height advantage in the front court, but a quickness deficit;you must rebound like hell. You definitely can't be losing the rebound battle as the Blazers are doing thus far. Must win it really bigly.

We have taken advantage of the height advantage offensively with Nurk( 10-15) but not Zach (3-3). We need to make them pay on their defensive end

Nurkic goes to the ground thankfully he was hit in the groin.

Hayward looks like he just stepped out of a 70s porno with that mustache and hair.

Nurkic is making good on his promise of "Double Beast" we absolutely need more playable size on the wing. CJ just can't hang with these long athletic Celtic wings.

Trent is one of the best draft picks we have done in quite a while, he is just so damn good.

Holy **** Lillard with an insane 3 from distance and the foul.

And I believe will get better. The reports of his work ethic are impressive

How much better was defense with Aminu and Harkless playing forwards last season vs. this season?

Melo shoots better than either, 3-4% better from 3 than Aminu and 10% better than Harkless from last year.

But he's obviously targeted by other teams on defense.

Kanter who never stops working low on shots is a bad match up for Whitside who takes catnaps.

Trent with a tremendous strip on Hayward called a foul and Stotts backs him up good job. Coaches challenge, what a great change and I hope they bump the number up to two a game soon.
