    It's out of respect for Miami fans who are soft as butter and now have Josh related PTSD.

    Lillard found Grant for the big 3 towards the end. He trusts his guys to step up

    I'm a believer in "law of averages", and when I see shit going on, that normally doesn't go on, then project what the game looks like when it becomes "normal"
    Blazers not getting rewarded when they did play good defense, Miami hitting all those 3's in the first...wasn't gonna keep.
    And I noticed that Portland either got, or contested every 50/50 ball. The entire game.
    This is a huge key I am noticing about this team, they get the basketball. Like a football team that dominates time of possession.
    Miami didn't feel like they had it. They could have put a lessor team away, and maybe should have, tonight. But Portland is a pretty good team. Portland had a great flow, on offense and defense, just things that "normally happen" weren't happening.
    Then, they did. It was just a matter of time.

    I still feel funny that Brooke has to make the post-game interview with Hart about Dame. Is she contractually obligated to do so? I am not joking. Why can't she just ask Josh about Josh and not Dame?

    we weren't losing cuz of the threes. we were losing cuz of our sloppy play and inability to get anything done offensively against the zone.

    and not to belabor the point, but our 3pt defense in the 1st half was garbage. that asst coach even called out the shitty closeouts.

    it all changed when winslow came back.

    Blazers have not lost a game this season when Dame Lillard is available to play.

    Billups is the best coach in the NBA at using his challenge.
