Gotta win to keep pace with the Raptors for the 4-seed

This team is utter garbage without Millsap and if he leaves this summer then I'm completely in favor of blowing everything up.

WTF is this box score?

Haha @ coach Mike looking at Schröder and shaking his head in disbelief during the timeout after another overly idiotic pull up jumper that was a near-airball by Denis the menace.

As much as I don't like Howard's play this is NOT a technical foul. Refs in NBA are making a joke of this game.

Start of game 17.4% FG - End of game 36.4% FG
Should this be considered an improvement?

Was it really that hard to pass the ball to Ersan while he was hot? Why did everybody insisted on throwing brick after brick? and what was coach Mike trying to prove by leaving Schroder out there doing his own "things" and sitting Calderon until the end?

I'm in favor of blowing it up anyway, they've looked bad with Millsap too.

Portland completely embarrassed on our homecourt.
Playing like this cannot be acceptable and especially not on the homecourt.
