Wow both teams pretty cold shooting wise in this game overall. We will see which team can start having a huge offensive impact first they will likely be the ones to win.

I hope the refs open both eyes. Celts getting away with a lot of cheap shots

Blazers looking tired to me, despite being up by 5. If Boston starts hitting shots it seems like they'll take the lead. Blazers just need to stay focused on what has gotten them the lead: feeding the paint and making the extra pass.

I think they are showing very good effort on a number of plays especially defensively the biggest problem is missing FT's in this game. Blazers are a pretty horrendous 7-12 from the FT line if they were say 11-12 they would have ended the half with a 5 point lead.

halftime and Portland looked kind of dumb on a lot of possessions. Great defensive effort by Harkless and Aminu though

blazers have 4 assists on 16 shots...that's putrid and the eyeball test tells me Portland is not putting enough effort into running their offense....thus the 36% shooting

Dame & CJ have combined for 22 points on 23 shots, while adding a combined 1 assist and 2 turnovers. That's Portland's 56M/year duo not getting it done

all that bad and the Blazers are up by 1. If they could get back to their strengths, they win this game

Dame and CJ usually score much better in the 2nd half. I think if you took just their stats from 3rd-4th quarter and compared it to 1st-2nd quarter the numbers would be glaring especially for Dame.

But let's be fair. The Blazers are bricking wide open shots that both CJ and Dame have passed to teammates. This is a reason why I hate assist stats because you rely on someone else to get you that stat like making a shot. I'd much rather have an assist attempt type stat to give the real story.

Maybe it is just me in a mellow state, but this game appears to be in slow motion.

Boy, wouldn't it be nice to get this Harkless every game?

Hood and Curry looking pretty "ouch" in this game. Still time for them to make some shots, however...

Seth Curry is a scrub who thinks he's Seth. Would genuinely struggle to get signed outside of the NBA.

Does anyone still think that McC can be a point guard?

Too many missed open shots for guys who are suppose to be decent shooters.

Lol, at Stotts allowing CJ to play PG with Curry on the floor. That's pretty much a sure fire way to lose a lead...

Also, refs trying to close the foul disparity...
