Blazers already gettin smacked around by Charlotte and Big Al may go for 50 with this shitty defense.

Terry Stotts is taking that "we don't double team anyone" steeze too far. It was good & all when they couldn't miss a shot but now those percentages have regressed to the mean that porous defense coming back to bite them in the butt.

And the frustrating part is the don't want to switch it up even when it's no longer working. Plus, I think teams are just more prepared to play them now. There are two guys on the whole team that try to defend on a consistent basis...Robin Lopez and Thomas Robinson. No one else even tries. Plus, their main offensive weapons ALL take long jumpshots as their first option. Damn near everyone has the green-light from 3. Guys like Aldridge, Batum and Matthews have success when they post up and/ or get into the paint, but they rarely look to do it.
They're a first round out for sure, unfortunately. Sucks, cause with that team they should be good on defense.
