Ferguson is so useless that I wouldn't mind playing some crazy Adams/Grant/Morris/PG13/Westbrook line up

way to run literal zero pnr with him on the floor in the second quarter

These guys don't know how to play smartly because nobody is telling them how. Nobody has been talking about it, but we are the one team helping Portland more than they're helping themselves with the way we play "offense". Lillard-Kanter is the worst defensive PG-C combo in the whole Playoffs and we manage to play without attacking that for whole quarters. They're playing Seth Curry at the 3 and all we can come up with is post ups and long jumpers.

Won't be surprised if the Blazers gets a nice run in the beginning of 3rd quarter. Then panick time.

And the Blazers come out and score on the first possession of the second half to make it a 13-0 run and a 6-point lead.

Here we are struggling our 3's again...and 3 fouls both Russ and PG omg

Going back to Portland down 3-1. Lillard has 10 points on 3/10 shooting and we're still down 7 in the third.

This game and season are over.

At least it was frustratingly fun from October through December.

**** this team and **** this season.

Season is over. Nothing to see here. Let's come back next year with the same roster, coach and make the same excuses once again.

That's it, game over. Jumper jumper jumper jumper all **** quarter long while Kanter is relaxing away from the play you **** halfwits

That 11-0 Portland run to turn a 7 point deficit into a 4 point halftime lead was our death knell.

Down 12, now.

This team sucks.

this defensive strategy of trying to fight over a screen 10 feet behind the 3 pt line has me in tears from laughter

If he wants to shoot a three from 12 feet behind the arc then **** let him

Paul George has Enes Kanter on him in isolation and his solution is to shoot a stand still 3 with no jab step or dribble... im **** done

This team is all about 3's (missing 3's)

NaturalThunder · Post #616 » by **NaturalThunder** » Mon Apr 22, 2019 3:05 am

Every shot we've attempted this half has been a jumper.

Jumper. Jumper. Jumper.

Thunder Up · Post #617 » by **Thunder Up** » Mon Apr 22, 2019 3:05 am

is it just me or has Russ literally attempted one layup this game (which was blocked) vs a team with abysmal interior defense and guard defense

Going down in flames.

Somebody got the schedule on the exit interviews?

NaturalThunder · Post #620 » by **NaturalThunder** » Mon Apr 22, 2019 3:07 am

We were up 46-39.

Blazers are on a 36-11 run.
