    To me it looks like the guards aren't quick enough to keep up, and then the bigs are just....stupid, I don't know, they don't seem to be doing anything on the PnRs.

    I think we're better than average on all defense, including the pick and roll.

    It's a hard play for any team to defend. We rode that play to a championship.

    Not a great start to the 2nd half.

    This is the most important 24 minutes of the entire season. I hope the team knows it, but it looks like Dallas wants it more. Fuck.

    Nicolas is just wilting under the pressure. And the team is showing zero effort on D. I'd rather see everyone going all out and hacking the shit out of Dallas than give them open looks every time.

    Let me rephrase that. A shitty start to the 2nd half.

    I really wish the Blazers would actually play with consistency on both ends of the court. Or fuck, one end of the court.

    One thing I always liked about the 99-2000 team was that if their offense wasn't flowing, their defense kept them in games and gave them a chance to win almost every game.

    that's not the case with this team. Their defense would make Kiki Vandeweghe proud.

    No. If the Blazers lose this one, the season is over. In reality.

    Well no, then it'd be the most important 48 minutes.

    Every time. Big three. Bucket in the paint. Foul. Every time the Mavs need a spark, a big bucket, it's there. It happens. The Blazers stands around and jack threes or iso. Fuck. Miller just hit a three. If that's the offensive scheme, they are screwed.

    What the fuck has happened to Aldridge? He doesn't drive the paint anymore. He should be getting to the line every fucking possesion, and he pusses out.
