    I'd have more confidence if his shots weren't chipping the paint off the sides of the rims.

    We held them to ZERO 3pt shots made. They did shoot 50% for the half though.

    We shot 35%. We aren't a 35% shooting team. Keep up the defense and hit 40% of our shots and the game is ours.

    At 2s, they are 18-34. We are 12-34, only 2/3 the makes on the same attempts.

    At 3s, they are 0-2. We are 5-14.

    So we've wasted a lot of tries on 3s, but have taken no fewer 2s. Something really sucks here.

    Ahh. They got 13 more FTs.

    Well this is a good opportunity to see how the team reacts and more importantly how Stotts adjusts

    It wasn't due to great defense, it was due to the fact they had an actual GAME PLAN that was tailored to utilize their strengths against our weaknesses. Our post defense blows and we can't protect the rim, so why would they waste time flinging up 3s?

    But we don't do game plans, we just play our same old shit that every body sees coming.

    McHale such a cool guy. Very respectful about the blazers. Feel bad for how disgustingly disrespected he was in Houston.
