Probably need a timeout.

this game just shows that Westbrook doesn't care about his triple double record AT ALL (maybe because we are facing Portland instead of the Hawks but still)

Russ needs to pass more and quit trying to go at Lillard every play.

Yeah, I'm officially worried.

We had pushed our lead back out to 15 (87-72) with about 2 minutes to go and the Blazers go on a 10-0 run to end the quarter.

Yikes.

Good grief what an ugly finish to the quarter.

Being up 5 with only 7 points from Adams, 6 from Ferguson and Russ clanking away on 3-13 shooting isn’t bad. I’ll take a one point win with this roster and not complain.

So far this is like our game against the Rockets but in the reverse. I mean our lead tonight wasn't as big as the Rockets lead two nights ago, but we're about to blow a 19 point halftime lead at home after really bad 3rd quarter.

Thing is, we were up by 15 with about 2 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter and then the wheels fell off.

If we could get Felton off Lillard that would be ideal.

How good could this team be if russ had any self awareness to quit shooting threes? Those are just wasted possessions.

In all seriousness, is russ’ shot getting worse as the season goes along?
