We had a nice little run with Theis in the game. Looking for silver linings.

Yup. But the main reason he plays better in the playoffs is because he gets more rest. There are no back to back games. Or 3 different cities in 4 nights.

Nurkic destroyed us inside. How badly did Al get outplayed. Would have been better with Baynes bulk against him.

Irving, Tatum, Morris, Horford and Baynes should have been the lineup in the last 5 minutes of the game.
Instead Brad goes with Brown and Hayward, 2 of our less productive players all season.
I can say for the first time in Brad’s coaching career that he doesn’t care about winning. He is too smart for coaching this bad.

Should have been 0-5 on this road trip. Playing like garbage. Ugh

I'm not the one to overreact easily, and we definitely will get a whole lot better as the season progresses but **** this is a soft team

Brad is most likely playing the long game. No way for Hayward to get back his groove and feel for the game if he's buried on the bench

Yes, Their pick and roll with Nurkic smashed us first half. surprised they couldn’t continue with it. Baynes was better.

You wrong sir. Portlands bench has been really good this year and won portlands some games, and they allow Dame and CJ to sit togheter for many minutes.aim2please wrote:The_Ghost_of_JB wrote:This run is fools gold. Maybe they get it to 5 or 7 points then we all know the offense will go cold, score 2 points in 6 minutes, or none at all and it will be back to 20.
Celtics have it before, get down 20, fight hard, make it close and lose, so I get what you're saying.. but Portland's 5-man bench unit usually gets beat by a lot. They held their own in the1st half, don't expect that to continue.
