    2-4 is cooling off? 1-2 from 3?

    Not sure how many shots he got up, but that's inexcusable. So many long jumpers early in the clock.

    He was just missing. He took at least three or four shots.

    As long as we aren't down 30 at half, we're fine. We got this game.

    Compared to how he was playing? Yes.

    Run and gun isn't really the Blazer's game. Doesn't help the defense to run so much.

    He's playing more along the lines of what we expect from him. Those games where he was hitting those crazy fadeaways from three seem to have cooled a bit. Not saying he's playing badly, just that he isn't on fire.

    He is best when he is looking for an outlet from the paint, or a swing around the arc. That doesn't happen much out of run and gun, and quick shots.

    It is what it is. It just seems like that stretch of games where he was torching the nets is over. I don't expect Wes to score 24 points though. If he gets 16 points I'm thrilled.

    He's rushing his shots. I put that on the frantic pace more than him being off. Really need to play Blazer pace, not Cav pace.

    Well, at the half we're back down to .333 3FG% (5-15), but continue to win the battle of the boards 31-22. Need to get that 3FG% up to pull this one out.

    Yup, 5-15 is a lot of points missed. Cavs can funnel the ball to Bynum all game if Portland can't get going there.

    Offensive rebounding is the only thing keeping us in the game right now. We have 11 ORB (Lope and Aldridge with 4 apiece). Cleveland is out shooting us and they only have 2 TOVs to our 8.

    The Mike's are saying that this isn't Cleveland's pace at all. They were saying the pace favors us.

    A few of those misses from Nic were wide open threes, and a couple were those weird fade-aways. I like seeing him being aggressive, but a few of those were bad shots.
