I wasn't expecting much, though Portland only had 15 points with 6 min to go in the quarter..which led me to believe they wouldn't pull out as far as other teams. I was wrong, they went on a huge run.

Mullens is in foul trouble so no pressure on the post defense for Portland. Portland can't seem to guard Henderson though without fouling..but he is the only one they have to worry about.

35-18 after one....frick.

And let me say this too - it is an embarrassment to see the freaking team president's son out there playing like crap. It's like an AAU team.

Yeah Higgins is complete an utter garbage. At least Diop is big, long, and provides an occasional rebound. Carroll at least can make team run out to him on the 3 pt line..Higgins doesn't do anything well. Liability on defense, ball handling is poor, shooting is terrible, and he doesn't have a clue how to use an on-ball screen.

:banghead:

I mean..I care or else I wouldn't be up watching or in this thread. I like to think that once augustin and Maggatte come back this team won't be as god awful.

The young guys are getting valuable playing time (kemba, biz, mullens).

A starting rotation eventually this season of Augustin, Henderson, MAggatte Tyrus, Diop with a bench of Williams, Brown, Kemba, White and Mullens seems to be better than what they cats are now. I guess thats why I continue to watch..toss in a general love for basketball helps.

    • I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔
    • I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.
    • I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
