I hate to be that guy, but what the hell was Monty thinking to start the 4th

It was a great win so I really hate to complain about anything, but up by 7 to start the 4th and we go in with

Evans
Holiday
Rivers
Roberts
Anderson

I mean is our front court depth really that bad? Talk about a quick way to blow a lead. Rivers and Roberts should really never be out on the court together at one time.

Again, I hate to have to bitch about this. And I thought tonight was an extremely well coached game except for this. This just made no sense to me.

It was completely mind boggling. I almost changed the channel in frustration.

They were on the floor for less than 2 minutes. That line up was adjusted rather quickly.

Blazers scored 3 or 5 (?) and then subs came in.

But, yes….. Monty gonna Monty

Thought we were up 10 then ad got 4th foul.
Then they hitan 11-2 run before a time out.

Btw I dont disagree with taking ad out until about the8 min mark. But not to put another big in was inexplicable

Taking AD out was fine

but how can you leave Anderson in as our only big man? Take out Rivers or Roberts and put Ajinca or Stiemsma in.

Everyone was ragging on it as soon as that lineup was out there. Roberts went full retard and Portland got multiple offensive rebounds during the few minutes the lineup was out there. Hopefully when Smiht returns (Wednesday?) we won't see it any more. Still, why not play Ajinca? Dude is putting up 4/6 + .5 blocks in 14mpg. Why not put him in there in place of Roberts?

Didn't Portland have like Williams, Lillard, Matthews, Wright, and Aldridge on the floor at that time?

And Stiemsma only got 6

How can you have no other big man play more than that off of the bench?

I'm assuming Monty thought that Anjinca would just get fricking abused + would pick up 2 or 3 fouls after 3 portland possessions. Probably the same reason amundson didn't see any playing time. IDK, but yea that lineup to start the 4th was derp. Rivers + Roberts on the floor at the same time




Also, idk if anyone else noticed, but Ryno was fricking gassed by the end of the 4th. He was playing lazy as shite and could barely muster up a jog when he was replaced by rivers mid way through the 4th.

Even if they did, you can't have reke playing PF. Monty thinks ryno can defend hickson and aldridge and get boards. That stretch was clear evidence that he can't. Ryno was abused by howard and every C we've played. Put aminu at the 4 at least. Shite, it sucked.

Amstead is now going to get the Rivers treatment.

He will play a few games then it will be Steamus or Smith

Monty has always had his favs. If you aren't on that list then your level of plat just doesn't mattre. If you are a made man though you have 0 to worry about while in nola.

BTW I was reading a blazers board just to read what they think about our team and if we think we have some sensitive posters here.... Wow.they eat their own. If someone post any negative stat or didn't agree that they blow out okc tonite they just get troll pictures non stop

I hear you, it's insane we blow a 10 point lead in about 3 minutes with AD on the bench. Monty needs to understand Ryno can't be our only big man during stretches where AD has to sit. Bottom line is we need another Big Man.

We can't do this without another big. I love our team but we have to consider making a move. Ryno is probably going to need to be moved.

Yes, he is about the most valuable piece you can trade out.

I love the guy but he is a 4 just like AD.

He also makes the team click on offense.

I forgot who said it, maybe zach lowe or someone, but Davis makes this team special, but Ryno makes this team work.
