    Because NO was threatening to get the game into single digits and we've been masters and blowing leads.....

    And I'm pretty sure no part of him is jealous of CJ tonight. He'll happily defer to CJ as much as he has to.

    Meyers stat padding like a boss lmao.

    Dame needs to stop forcing it in the 4th. This team isn't going to win on hero ball.

    Great game.

    Dame and Davis were picking and rolling and it was a lot more effective.

    Look at the time stamp and the context.

    I wrote that when we had the game decided with 1 minute left in the game and up 15.

    I didn't know I had to spell this out, yeesh.

    It will come with more experience. They just need to pace themselves and not blow their loads to early.

    Fun tidbit: despite his nervous performance, Meyers led the Blazers in +/- at +29. He's valuable out there.

    The pick and pop is a very simple and useful play that should be in every team's arsenal. It was Dame/LA's signature play for three years. It doesn't take a lot of energy, and teams are much more willing to give up the PnP than the PnR.

    Replace Aldridge's mediocre jumpshooting with Meyer's accurate jumpshooting and I think it should be used more often tbh.

    Aldridge must have passed all his game knowledge to McCollum, who looked great in the 1st half, then disappeared in the 2nd. Leonard, who is supposed to replace Aldridge's PF shooting, continues to be completely unreliable even in his limited gimmick role. Lillard exists on the fumes of his rookie year shooting. Without that now-false reputation, defenders would ignore him and play 5-on-4.

    It's the new guys who will save us.
