    No, they dont force 20 turnovers a game. And we should be good enough to stay solid against pressure.

    Westbrook and Paul scorched us along with their team real defense. We looked lost and the refs circled us like sharks around a lifeboat. I Don't Like Westbrook! WTF!

    I like how they have 2 guys that made more FTs than our team attempted.

    Hope the Blazers don't meet them in the playoffs. It will be a sweep

    Fuck, I hate Westbrook.

    He is a walking, living, breathing definition of toxic masculinity. Hahaha

    Talent level just usn't there. Ratchet up the pressure and we fold. Gunna be exactly yhe same come playoffs because that's the kind of team we are. Either make a trade or start playing cards.

    Well I guess a fourth quarter comeback will have to wait but it will happen before the end of the season. Fate is not sealed after three.

    So what if we lost, we lost to the Jazz by 20 two games in a row and beat them yesterday. Keep going Blazers, it's all good

    I don’t care that Jake was off with his shots they were all in flow and the spacing is just different with him on the court as opposed to passive Moe. He was a team high +7 tonight.

    I hate Westbrook. He's lucky PG is there. Prick can't shoot.

    Starting forwards battle: 49-4 (forgot the last second dunk by Aminu). Not great, Bob.

    The team played sloppy tonight. I honestly think we're better but have hemm ourselves with terrible execution against them twice in a row.

    Stotts still has no answer or sets designed to handle or take advantage of a pressuring/trapping defense either. On offense, the ball was 5 feet away from halfcourt for probably 60% of that 2nd half.
