Such a bad timing to have so many players out :(

This might be a more impressive win than Houston if we pull this out.

Maybe equal. POR is coming off a back to back, only thing that makes this tough is missing grant and POR wanting a bounce back.

Edit: NVM Schroder is out. We're effed.

Don't understand why we are almost 2/1 favorite. Grant is so underrated

Can’t really afford for Ferguson or anyone to get in foul trouble.

I think we have jumped on every pump fake so far.

George is insane. He’s so freaking good right now.

Good defense but offense is awful. We need a MVPG performance during all game to win this game.

Billy leaving Ferguson in with two fouls and then he gets his third foul. Good job coach.

We really need to quit fouling.

So George’s cuts of Lillard on the baseline. The next play he defends aminu perfectly and forces a bad shot. That’s versatility.

Wish Schroeder could defend as well as Felton.

He's fat and old but crazy high BBIQ

I don’t think we could play a better half. I’m sure Houston felt the same way Saturday night. Can’t lose focus.

MVPG + fat duo = 49 points
19 for the rest of the team.

How Dennis Schroder has held back Raymond Felton all season....

Almost perfect half while Portland is struggling so much from the FT line and missing so many shots. They are showing some clear locker room issues or whatever it is though (where's Nurkic?).
If Paul George keeps playing like this we can't lose because they don't have anyone that can defend really well on him. But if he's not, we still have a game.

Their shots will fall at some point but it's a nice buffer.
