And once again we don't convert on the easy basket and they come right back with a run.
We're 3/27 as a team.

Objectively speaking, refs aren't the problem

Already feel that next game PG13 and Schroeder will play better but Westbrook will suck. We can't play well as a team

Re: The third time's the charm - First Round Series vs Portland
It's 2019 and, after 10 years, Presti is still trying to find one of two things:
1.) Either a third player who is consistently capable of creating their own shot and not being a huge negative on defense.
OR
2.) Two or three reliable knockdown 3P shooters to help spread the floor next to Russ/KD or Russ/PG.

Re: The third time's the charm - First Round Series vs Portland
Indeed, we're playing like crap. No referees are to be blamed for us doing stupid stuff all over the court. Coach Donovan likes everything he sees, so no need to timeout and adjust, he's happy with us being almost double digit down. Meanwhile Stots calls timeout when his team gets a stop and score before that.

That's ballgame. I still feel semi-confident we can win game two. But not really unless PG all of a sudden gets healthy and we start making some 3s.

Presti still hasn't figured out that you need 3P shooters to win in today's NBA. Maybe he'll figure it out by 2025 when Russ and PG are practically retired.

Worst performance ever as a team from 3?

Ferguson on the bench with 3 fouls. Meanwhile we're 3/29 from 3.

Even when we have them we don't play them much because they struggle defensively. They don't work in this dumbass system we have.

Bad time for russ to take off a defensive possession.

Lillard hits another 250 footer.
That's the game.
