SUPPORTING CAST; NOT BEING SUPPORTIVE
By blazersisthebest
Last game against Phoenix, the blazers nearly had the game on their hands. Unfortunately it didn't happen. The Phoenix suns prevailed against the Portland trailblazers 111-115.
4th quarter break-down was one of the problem. LaMarcus didn't score that much. He only had 4 points on that particular quarter. Having only a few touches in that quarter. As the matter of fact, he is the GO-TO-GUY of this team.
But, the main thing is, the bench didn't produce that many points. Scoring only 15 total combined points. If the Portland needs to win, they have to produce something out of the bench players. Which they aren't getting SUPPORTING CAST, NOT BEING SUPPORTIVE ENOUGH.
Even-though starting players produce a lot of points, still they cannot do it on their own. They need their supporting cast to produce at a high level consistently night in and night out.
Some of the bench are capable enough to score 15-20 points, like Dante and Rudy. The problem is they are not getting it done consistently.
I didn't make this post to mock the bench players, But to let them know that they need to do and produce a lot more than what they are doing.
This also serves as a shout-out to the coaches, not to be personal but, letting your star player and go-to-guy to have some few touches in the 4th is an insane thing to do. HE IS THE GO-TO-GUY!
But, no matter what, I AM STILL A FAN of this ball club. Win or lose, still here to support you. I am just giving my opinion on what happened last game. Its a new day, new game, the city will rock again. Go and win against the new jersey nets. GO BLAZERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
