Portland is low key dirty. They're going at George's shoulder every chance they can get. Hood just blatantly pushed George right into Collins so he would run right into him shoulder first.

I like our veterans attitude. Morris is right to go at it against less experienced guys. Our second unit obviously lack a lot of scoring with PG13 not being in shape.

We can't play harder than that. We just lack scoring :(

The only way they have been able to "defend" us so far is by fouling us.

15 pts from our bench players. That's good despite shooting struggles.

We should be up by 15. Portland's making too many garbage shots and we're not making enough on the other end - come on guys!

We need Ferguson and Grant to help a bit on the offensive end

What is this bull: That's multiple fouls on Lillard that they simply didn't call?!

Refs are really not on our side since game 1

I'm sick of Ferguson and Grant being so irrelevant on offense. Ferguson is playing bad defense too :(

We have outplayed them, but a certain group of 3 took over and that was that.

I'm not watching, but based on that screen-shot and the posts here, I'll take everyone at their word that the refs have been one-sided.

However, 6 quarters into the series and we're shooting 8/46 (17%) from three.

We will need other players to score. PG13 probably won't be as efficient in the 2nd. Grant, Felton and Ferguson missed too much open 3's.

Homer calls but we need more scoring. We are playing as hard as we can but our team struggles to make 100 points/game

Russ heads to bench with 2:48 in the first, OKC goes on a 7-0 run and finishes the quarter outscoring them 9-2.

OKC up 37-28 when Russ enters the game and ends the first half outscored by 9. What seems to be the common theme here

Since his incredible start of 2/3 shooting he has gone 1/10 for the impressive shooting number of 3/13!
