Are we going to just play undersized for the rest of the season?

I'm good with our undersized approach, as long as we crash the glass and take care of the ball.

Go get em, guys!

So I'm going to assume that Nic is sick. I hope he's alright

Don't like how were playing. We've given up a lot of layups and a ton of open 3s. We're lucky they haven't fallen. Way too easy for them right now.

Offense is terrible right now. It just kills us when Kyrie is completely off.

Kyrie may lose us this game himself. Also everyone missing wide open 3s.

In addition to our cold offense, our defense has been embarrassing in the 2nd quarter.

Man, Lillard just shreds Kyrie head to head every time.

Kyrie playing awful, and I feel like he's taking this Lillard matchup personally, which is why he's in chuck-mode right now. Terrible look.

Kyrie is clearly struggling with fasting this month. His shot has been well off majority of the games now. Lillard really hasn't done much at all, he's going through his own slump, but it's not as bad as Kyrie's slump.

Lucky to be only down 1 and the defense is non existent on the P&R at the moment, just ugly basketball.

Ramadan is the Kyrie stopper

It's not just this game, compare their last few games head to head, I feel like Lillard has consistently had the advantage, including the 60 pointer he dropped on him last year.

Well, I'm talking about this game. Kyrie isn't taking bad shots, he just can't make **** outside of layups right now. His jumper has been gone for a while, with the Phoenix game being an exception.
