The refs let this game get ugly af. This should be an entertaining match up and this game has felt like homework.

Looks like the Blazers have found something effective withHoliday and Avdija on the ball.

Freaking refs again. You let that go dummies

Watched the fourth and didn't realize until the last minute that Chet, Dort, Caruso, and of course Williams were all out.

Great win for Portland. Backcourt currently in shambles, but still had enough to get it done.

Win or lose, the amount of whistles in this game has been insufferable.

Looks like Jokic And SGA are still the 2 most consistent forces in the league (Giannis and Luka are slightly below, Wemby is still learning the game )

Every time Jrue is traded, the analytics guys piss all over it. And then his team just wins. An old ninja is still a ninja.
