That's game. Our top 4 guys combined for 98 points, starters for 109 points.

Good job, guys. On to the Heat.

Yeah I would have just heaved a three there regardless.


Kind of worked out as they had a shot to tie if Nurkic doesn't throw it away.

Well despite a hot first half I didn't like what I saw from Tatum in the second half at all.

That's not going to do it come the playoffs.

Onto the next game and see if he continues to regain form.

Yeah idk, I think that was a poor move by them. You have to shoot the 3 there to have a chance to win.

But their shot to tie was going to be a harder shot than just taking a three out of the timeout in the first place?

Drew up the 2nd half perfectly. Right down to that failed inbounds pass by Nurkic.

Melo is such an unbelievable bum. Easily the weakest link on that team. So many unnecessary fouls too.

Tatum with 8 assists is very underrated today

They do have probably the best half court shot makers in Lillard. Not the best high percentage shot to count on, though.

They were obviously hoping we'd miss a free throw.

Love Pierce and everything he's done for the franchise, but he really should know better by now not to call games so early. :lol:
