    I’m with Luka there, I thought that was a charge.

    Bazmore is worse than Aminu. Anytime he gets in the break, we turn it over

    They are playing Bazemore, Mario, and Trent with Dame and Whiteside without rest.
    Lillard will end up playing 40 mins sick and Whiteside will most likely foul out.
    Melo has to at least rest a couple mins.
    The Mavs will wear them down.
    Blazers need to find a way to keep it close?

    Please, please, please, please, please have the player guarding the screener hedge a pick when Luka has the ball. Our defense is literally saying here Luka take this open shot!

    Wow. Big shot by Baze to get it to single digits.

    I'll probably get ripped for saying this, but for Portland to play Dallas even that quarter under the circumstances is very impressive.

    This 1st possession is important... cut it to 6-7 and it’s a ball game

    Dame didn't even try to get around that last screen. He might little tire but if not going to hedge against that pick there going continue have open shots.

    Doesn’t matter if you’re moving, as long as you’re first to the position.

    You guys keep saying hedge the pick. But the Blazers don’t have a player strong enough and mobile enough to do it. Exactly who do you want on the floor doing it?

    Every play and rotation would’ve been different if Dame didn’t play.

    Portland doesn't have a chance if Lillard sits, but they can't play him 44 minutes

    So now we want Melo to start hedging picks? Give me a break?
