My opinion is that a coaching change will not fix this team’s issues. I think the problem starts with point Book. He’s clearly our best player, but that’s when he’s not handling PG duties.
Sure didn’t look that easy to me. It’s not like the Suns locked down on defense in the 4th. The Wizards just missed a ton of shots.
This team is disappointing!
The eye test in this team is telling me that if they don’t figure out to play some defense, we will continue to be a 500 team and zero chance at a championship. Hopefully I’m wrong, but I’m guessing NY wins this one.
Sorry but the refs were trash tonight. I normally don’t complain about the refs, but it was pretty one- sided tonight. Are you not watching the refs tonight?
The frustration is just starting in Portland and this is after the first preseason game against an NBA team.
Seems like people forget that he’s been playing in the NBA for half a decade. He’s not changing his game. DA will flash just enough to get you excited knowing that the potential is...
Totally agree- once you take Ayton out of the scoring mix he will drift. The only way to hopefully keep him engaged on defense is to keep him engaged on the offensive end which is not what this team needs.
This team needs a player like Adam’s who knows his role and likes to mix it up down low.
Adams would be a perfect fit. Someone who knows his role, has a ton of heart, has some dog in him which this team desperately needs. would love this trade.
If he wants his team to give him the ball more, he should learn how to seal off his man. It sure did seem like his defender would reach around a poke the ball away 1-2 times a game.
I do t think Ayton wants to play as it’s too much pressure. This way if the Suns lose, Ayton won’t have any part in the lose.
I’m actually happy he’s not playing. If he were, he would be doging it due to his bruise.
