What ta hell you sub out Lin for? Lin and Bev are the best defenders for Lillard. This is the worst sub ever. Anyways, it wouldn't matter that much probably but might help. McHale!!!
Silver lining is that no rac/fasncist can blame Lin for this, just not an option.

Well, all good teams need some time to gel. Good year for gelling, make some mistakes now and guys know that they need to get some discipline from a great coach next year.

The PF job was up for grabs and TJones was the best they had.
Whey didn't McHale play a veteran like Cisco?
POR played their usual rotations consistent with the regular season.
HOU playoff rotations were all over the place. Daniels the rookie for example was a desperation move.
Mad scientist. Hope next season we get a consistent rotation, for example: TT, Parsons, Harden, Lin; bench: DMo, TJ, Garcia, Daniels, Bev. It wasn't completely bad to have some crazy experiments tho, try different stuff, get to know the players more, strength and weaknesses.
Zubby wrote:ok enough knee jerk, Jones really isn't that bad, he is playing at home and tried to do way too much. Dmo really should of been in, he gave POR fits when he got PT and he is a smarter defender.
Honestly Asik was just as bad this game with his bonehead plays on defense.
Agreed. Quite surprised DMo was not given a try on LMA, just a try in maybe the second game? Asik needs to grow up a bit.
What chaos! Unbelievable!

Perhaps Lin in instead of Harden? What might have been??!?

So, he's much better than Irving.
no hating but its a highly uptempo series and you guys dont play a ton of D so you cant just say he's outplayed every PG so far when the numbers in this series is off the charts for alot of guys
The thing is, we have a guy whose main reason for being on the court is to bother Lillard.
