    its crazy that we are still within striking distance, but we need to adjust are starting lineup. tired of digging a whole in the first quarter.

    I don't know how the heck we're still in this, but if we played like anything other than hot garbage the first three quarters, we'd be winning.

    And someone please guard Curry.

    Could be worse. Only down 6 with a quarter to go.

    We can steal this if we stop shooting ourselves in the foot. But we don't really have much room for errors at this point.

    As shitty as we've played, you've gotta be encouraged that we are in the game and like our chances going forward. Golden St has taken a page from New Orleans and Denver. Double Dame and he's inefective

    Aminu is literally unplayable and we're only down 6. I guess I'll take it.

    We are going to have to really work on how we are defending Curry, he is getting lots of room out on the 3p line. The moment someone comes to screen for him the screens guy has to be faster on going with his man and making sure Curry isn't so damn wide open off the screen.

    What is Dame doing with the 1 on 3 drives? Sure you make it, its a highlight but someone had to be open. Is he being told to drive in heavy traffic then try to make a jump pass behind him? Seems like a rather low % set up. He leaves his feet in traffic = that possession fucked.

    After a bad start by the refs, it seems like the Blazers finally got a crew that is helping more than hurting. I'd hate to squander this rarity.

    We have a game. Press on defense. Take care of the ball and make some shots.
    Looks like Stotts has his unit that can match these guys.

    I can’t wait till the MCU makes x-men... the Phoenix Force storyline is one of my faves but this new movie isn’t setting it up correctly at all.
