    We didn’t hit a three in the second quarter, and they have doubled our rebounds, but we’re doing a great job of taking care of the ball, not fouling, and have almost evened up paint scoring.

    I had to laugh at Callabro and Hurd....they were saying how Portland "just looks different with Ariza and Gabriel" on the floor. Imagine that, some length and athleticism on the perimeter and at the wings. Welcome to the world of good NBA teams

    Simons isn't making shots, but he's taking good shots and making good passes. He's not throwing it off the backboard off balance like Bazemore.

    we have guys that can actually play defense. Baze/Melo was one of the most overmatched front courts defensively

    15 for our bench they actually starting to look a lot better out there. Simons really need to get stronger this off season the kid just weak.

    We don’t have one. Vanterpool is now the defensive coordinator for the Wolves

    Feels a little like playoff basketball. Especially the defense on Lillard. At least he's getting to the free-throw line.

    We could also gain ground over the first half by boxing out a lot better.
