a fourth quarter single-digit game and the team's second best player is 5/19 on the majority wide open shots

7 points isn't that much but we need to defend and make shots...looks impossible (only if Schroeder has one of his crazy quarter but he looks awful)

I think they still have a shot to come back in this game. But Kanter is a big problem for them tonight

These Blazers are terrible. Terrible.
And we still find a way to be more terrible than them.

Our offense is running solely on Russ motor, and thats all, sometimes Dennis hits something ...

He's not. When he's in the game we've been able to attack him offensively and either score or, at the very least, generate a good look.


So you're not watching, okay

Kanter's defense ha sucked. Our offense has scored much more easily today every time he's on the floor.

I hate losing to teams that live on a steady diet of long 3s and mid-range jumpers.

The Blazers were due a win against us after an 0-4 regular season. Let's hope this isn't one of those times a team goes 0-4 against the team in the regular season but beats them in a playoff series.

How many times has that happened?

That could/should be a flagrant by the rule. He whacked PG across the head.

And Portland comes down and gets an and-one to push the lead back to 6.

Eff me.


We should've had the ball after two FTs down by three.

Melo got tossed for **** like that and they're not even reviewing it. It's too bad we're playing 5vs8.

Or Russ and drives and finds Adams who hits a 2-footer.

That's pretty much our only reliable offense. It has to run through Russ because PG is useless.

Could Felton quit passing up good shots?

What is Felton doing?!?! He had a wide-open layup and forced a pass to Noel instead!

I know George is hurt but he doesn’t have to play stupid.

And Lillard hits a stepback 150 footer.

That's ballgame.

Felton passed up a wide-freaking-open layup that would've cut it to one.

This is the rsoter you've built, Presti. Good job you effin' moron.
