    Dillards decision making at times it was very questionable.

    The way we have been playing, we may not need to pull the plug to tank.

    I don't understand why Lillard can't throw the ball to the open player. He's becoming like Nurkic trying to make a complicated pass that isn't necessary.

    Raptors can't buy a bucket. They are wide open on most of these, so it's not our defense but still, a chance to come back.

    That was Toronto's first timeout of the quarter (per ESPN.com). After a 13-2 run and it was to lose a challenge.

    Still completely disgusting.

    The fact we’ve come back just brings feelings of content. We would be ahead if we never got behind by 16.

    We outscored Toronto in the 2nd quarter despite not making a field goal for the first 6 minutes. Wild.

    No one should be worked up. It's a game of runs. Learn.

    Because he was wide open and that shot clock was winding down.

    Bench outscores 12-3 in the first half. Until the blazers find someone who can consistently provide scoring off the bench they are going to struggle. Gets old seeing a anemic bench game in and game out.

    Love the fight there in the second quarter but must show that from the beginning in this league. We shall see.

    you are welcome to your own opinion....but spare me the snark please. It's not wasted if you coach properly during a timeout and your players respond.
