Portland is shooting 29-of-39 late in the second half. That's 75 percent from the field. For a defense to allow that...nearly all of which were easy layups...is a fundamental flaw in the coaching.

Chris Ackler LOVES gaslighting the fans by talking about how they're building something, growing, etc.. But in reality, every single one of his players left last year. And were replaced by a team that is doing literally the exact same thing.

21 consecutive losses (sorry, not counting Nobel lol) is enough evidence to suggest this was a failed hire. I hope that someday I am proven wrong, but I watch every game and it's just deja vu every time they play.

FWIW, I don't think this is a talent issue. Clearly Acker has some recruiting chops. This is an in-game coaching/retention/team culture issue. Something is failing, big time.

As an aside, it's embarrassing that this program can't play in its home gym when it rains. Figure it out. I see Bobby built a nice new suite behind the basket for donors/admins. How about fix the roof?
