    Jordan swats at everything. Throw a pumpfake at his dumbass for goddsakes. For someone who went to Duke, Henderson has AWFUL fundamentals.

    Which part? The guy has no natural feel for putting the ball in the hoop. He just flings it at a certain angle with a certain amount of power and hopes it's the right combination.

    I honestly wonder if the Thunder would be interested in dealing Ibaka.

    That would be a lucky shot, when it goes in.

    I'm not watching this shit. If the refs don't improve drastically, I'll I see you guys around draft time.

    Stotts has created a 1-man offense. That's OK if you have a superstar, top-3 at his position. But Lillard is only top-10 at his position.

    Possession after possession, Lillard fucks it up. It's predictable what he'll do. Hog the ball. Don't involve your teammates. Then miss a Hail Mary.

    I'm just cussing at the dick all game long.

    Good news is we're a Dame hot streak from being in the lead, but he needs to start ignoring how shitty the refs are.

    Our defense only needs to be a tad better. We can win this.

    Half of our deficit hangs on Terry's shoulders: that stupid intentional foul on DJ, which - in what was easily foreseeable - resulted in two missed FTs by Ed for a 4-point swing.

    We really need Harkless to not foul in this second half.

    WTF. Have you seen the WIDE OPEN looks Aminu/Plums/Henderson are missing?

    Aminu and Plums with some mental hiccups in the last 3 minutes there. Clips are happy to leave chief wide open and Plumlee is missing those point blank shots.

    Still well within striking distance so hopefully Stotts lights a fire under their ass.

    It's definitely an interesting spot for Stotts in terms of Aminu. You could make the argument that the Blazers won't win the series without him hitting some 3s. But he hasn't really looked close on most. Do you continue to give him the green light? I just wouldn't want to rattle the guys confidence, so shot selection and shots in rhythm is what needs to be stressed.
    That 3rd scoring option? Looked like Harkless early. Obviously the Clips want it to be Aminu. Need more from Crabbe and Hendo and something from Plums. He looks soft.

    Aminu has to hit some open shots to take pressure off Lillard and CJ

    I think at least 2 of his fouls were chicken shit calls by the refs.
