The third time's the charm - First Round Series vs Portland

Strong comeback to make this a game again. But it would be nice if they'd stop spotting teams double digit leads right off the bat.

That's one of the main reasons why I want Billy Donovan gone. His teams rarely start off games strong.

It's a blessing to be down by 6, but we aren't going to win this series unless PG and Shroder can start making shots.

On a positive note, the Thunder are playing through Steven Adams a lot more than I thought they would.

Paul George just needs to start attacking the rim with more force. He's too much of a finesse player in the paint....going for cute layups and such. He doesn't play to his 6'8" frame once he gets inside.

We need to make it harder on CJ. If both Lillard/CJ are scoring so much we can't win

so far I don't blame Donovan for our pathetic performance. We made the right offensive decisions in the beginning of the game. We adjusted a bit on defense in the second quarter. We just need to play harder and start hitting shots (which would be the most difficult part)

We can't win this series with this PG.

And we've had the ball down 6, like, 250 times, and we haven't been able to cut the lead to 3 or 4 from there.

Kanter 5 OREBs already

And we get called for our 18th offensive foul of the game.

Lillard has two hands in Grant's back before that and he sells the contact.

Offensive foul Thunder.

How many more ridiculous charges are they going to put on us? Those are not offensive fouls. That's four empty possessions for us because Portland simply flopped.

Grant playing some great defense. We need outside shooting ASAP

Kanter a game high +11 btw

This offense is such a freaking embarrassment.

Post #157 » by **Dadouv47** » Sun Apr 14, 2019 9:15 pm

Looks like we lost our chance to get back into this game. We can't make a shot

Chance to cut it to 2 and Russ takes the pull up 3. Portland on a 6-0 run.

PG13 is shooting a better 3pt% than the rest of the team :lol:
