Thank god for Russ today. He’s giving it his all.

Sure, but today it seems worse than usual. It could be better 3 days from now on.

Russ has been very good on offense, but the way he's defending makes no sense. Trap Lillard if you want, but you can't trap if just one guy gets near the opposing player. Russ trails the play immediately and then it's Adams vs the rest of the world. Since he doesn't ever fight over the screen, just go under it and provide help on the opposing bigman and be ready for a Lillard drive.

PG is broke.


We need a mechanic.

He's had three great looks, and two super-great-looks from three that could've cut the lead to three and he came up empty every time.

Time to accept this series for what it is.

We're going to lose in 5 or 6 because George is playing at 75% and because Presti is a bleeping idiot and apparently thought our wing depth was "good" after PG.

Watching PG13 and Schroeder choking 3's is unwatchable.

What a garbage call. Refs owe us a makeup call in the second half

That was a horrible sequence of officiating in favor of the Blazers. At some point we should've been on the foul line shooting FTs with a chance to cut the lead to four.

Well being only down 6 points is a blessing. But feel we lost our momentum with all those choking 3's later in the second

Two horrible calls taking possessions away from us.

Down 6 after shooting 35 % from the field and 11 % from 3. We're gonna do Portland in the 2nd half like our Eastern Conference equivalent Boston did Indiana today.

I know we are a bad 3 pts team but 2/18 :(.
We should focus on defending well and Westbrook to do his thing on offense (him and Adams). If by some miracle PG13 (or other players) get hot then we start shooting 3's

Hope u right but don't think Portland is going to have such a bad quarter again (don't think we will have such a bad half either though)
