    To be fair, if it's used correctly, it's a great mediation tool.

    Just feels like we won't play good enough defense to get over the hump. We're back to sagging off ball screens and playing soft.

    That was a great backdoor pass by Turner to Plumlee.

    I personally hate "to be honest".

    But to be fair, fuck you all, let that sink in!

    Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

    Take it to the bank, too!

    That Plumlee effort was more exciting than any bucket.

    To be fair, it's used correctly more often than not. ;)

    Even Turner's turds are turning into gold (air balls a 3 which turns into a Dame 3).

    Which one? Turner's airball although a miss was from a spot he's been taking and making them this season. And he was open.
    Lillard's though. The contested 3 from 28ft in transition.. That was a bad shot.
    Luckily portland is on the glass.

    Checking in real quick....I hate Dame hero ball....hate it. Has a time and place, that time and place is not every 4th Q possession during a close game. Pass the fucking ball. Dudes are open you know.....you bring defenders to you, you know.....come on...
