    Our perimeter defense is non existent. That’s on the coaches.

    If we sign Melbourne's best player to put alongside Sydney's best in Tate and Cairns' best in Cam Oliver then we might be able to beat the Perth Wildcats. Maybe.

    It sounds crazy but with a good coach we may be able to squeeze out some wins. This squad has proven they could generate enough offense but defense is non existent, and I put the blame on the coaches.

    Giving up 50 points in the first quarter. Just trash defense, all year long. Silas should be ashamed.

    50 points in a quarter for Portland!

    Are we ever going to play any defense?

    Should be a rule that a coach is fired if the other team scores 50.

    50 in a quarter... I'm not sure I'm feeling this level of offensive inflation in today's league.

    HAHAHAHA of course 12 threes in a quarter only ties the record Phoenix made against us.

    Do we even have a defensive philosophy? Which coach is in charge of that? Whoever it is needs to be shot into the sun from a cannon

    I want to like Silas so bad, but **** this defense is absolutely unacceptable.

    This is why guys like KMJ or Lamb or Thomas putting up stats to end the season means nothing. No team is really playing defense right now especially not against the rockets. They know that this is an easy W and they can score at will. I believe teams are going at half effort when playing us, and still winning easily.

    What would be the penalty for forfeiting the rest of the season? I don't see the point of continuing this

    Craig Ackerman: The Blazers have not hit a three in the quarter...
    *swish
    Craig Ackerman with regret in his voice: Sorry.
    Bullard sarcastically: Thanks, Craig.

    Ashley, let's get real. Phil Jackson as head coach, Red Aurbach, Gregg Poppavich, Pat Riley, Don Nelson, Larry Brown, George Karl and Lenny Wilkens as assistants... that coaching staff would still struggle to win with all these injuries and lower quality players. Pipe down a smidge please for the love of all that is at least slightly reasonable.

    Edit: It's right here @Reeko ... a page earlier. You don't read Clutchfans and it shows. You sure do post a lot though. Hot ass millennial takes gone wild!
