    It was two All-Star bigs vs. one good Center and two mediocre Forwards.

    We weren't going to win this.

    Defense lost us this game. Defense is back to absolute shit like last year. Right when the offense comes around. This team isn't focused enough to execute on both sides of the floor consistently. I don't know if it's because of Stotts or the players we have.

    Sure feels like we can either be a good offensive team or a good defensive team but never both.

    Have faith

    I don’t understand how we lost to the pelicans either but have faith

    Wait??? How the hell did we lose to them?

    I don’t understand Lillard and the team should beat these team

    It was close all game and we missed open 3s all game. How were we "never going to win this"?

    @KingSpeed So that 9-game winning streak... Never even got to 1. It was ridiculous to think this would be an easy win because Cousins has "no playoff experience". Smh...

    If we had attacked the rim like this instead of shooting 3's this entire 4th we would be winning this.

    Because when Biggie is focused and Davis is healthy, they are better than most of our team combined.
