Their pressuring lead to like 4 open dunks for the Blazers there. Also OG man stop taking contested shots.

This shirvhappens all the time. We let Milwaukee back in the game we let Washington back in the fame and almost blew it. Refs let us mug so they can keep it close. Doesn't really mean much. It also usually haplens with bench lineups but uh nurse doesn't use his bench so we had to sort of come back with our starters vs thwir benchwill wrote:Jokes aside, impressive the Raps cut it down now to 19 when it was 30 plus prior.

I never said that we were this bad, but using close losses isn't the best way to prop up the argument that we're really good.
Where did I say we were really good?

Well we came out of that timeout and gave up 5-6 points. Don't call it on an offensive possession where you have momentum.

Down 19 at quarter time, should've had it to 10 if we could only shoot.
Besides being too small, the FO's concept of getting all athletic defenders, but who can't shoot, hurts us a lot. We need more shooters to come back here. It's nice when Champanie hit one, and Boucher a few but no one we can count on

Nurse resting FVV here is inexcusable. Cost us this game.

Fresh legs vs tired legs. Portland brings their starters back in and just like that we're down 20 again.
Nick Nurse recounting his first meeting with Kawhi:
“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."
