What Kispert gives you offensively he takes it away with his putrid D…

Elsewhere, Bilal could do much more offensively. Needs to stay aggressive!

Holmes playing like Laettner against Kentucky but not in down the stretch.

Great tanking job by Keefe leaving Holmes out and playing small ball..

Yep. A very clever tanktastic stretch there of about 2 minutes. Not even.

I was there. Couldn’t believe it.

A game that was winnable, and Keefe chose … not to win it.

I mean, I get it, but … that was not subtle.

They were down 3, about 4 minutes and change left, and he went with a lineup of 4 guards and a forward — against a team that is very physical and was bodying them (and to be fair, fouling them and fouling them) all game.

That turnt it.

On another note, Portland isn’t good, and they’ve got a lot of duplication — no need for Grant with Deni, have to decide between Sharpe and Scoot, etc., and they can’t shoot … but they’re molded in the image of their coach — they play a hard-nosed and aggressive style, like Chauncey Billups played. It’ll be interesting to see how they build this. Clingan eats up the interior, Deni is surging (you can see how much he’s learned from Kuzma — he bullied the Wizards in the brief time he was out there), and they’ve got athleticism and size. And they play hard and, as I said before, their D is legit — they’re long-armed and physical.

Very odd that Holmes played only 19 minutes.

Left out p1ss poor FT shooting and poor defensive rebounding.

Kyshawn also had a lousy first half.

Tank-tastic loss.

I realize this was a long time ago but I missed the chat room we had during games. That was a lot of fun.
