    I don't mind the legend Lillard making a turnover or two, but he's bleeding them right now.

    Billups gives Walker the shaft. Walker does a lot of little things like fighting for rebounds better than most everyone else. We need some kind of edge somewhere.

    Seems like the rotation on defense is off tonight. To many players ending up wide open. Wonder if it is the new guys still figuring each other out? Or lack of focus?

    Reddish lost on two defensive plays in a row earlier; that must have been what put him in Thibadeaux's doghouse.

    Well, this kind of helps with the tank.

    One dude was making almost all the shots without working up a sweat.

    Saying this for years
    To be only down seven as poorly as we played and as well as the Wiz shot the ball is a silver lining.

    I'm getting irritated with Ant's inconsistency making simple plays, especially passes. He does everything like there's extra points for degree of difficulty. No chill in his game. He costs at least a possession per game throwing the ball right to a defender.

    It would be cool someday to see if the other team can stop Shaedon from running the baseline and putting down lobs.

    Why should they stop him when we already do such a good job of it?

    Dame with some dumb turnovers; Blazers not named Lillard bricked a ton of shots; and the defense was absolute crap

    Blazers are lucky to only be down 7.

    Literally the entire universe wants to know the answer to that.
    Was Thybulle on Beal instead?
