    Can't convert a 3-1 fast break...I swear, this team. Could they convert a 5-1 fast break?

    Good timeout by Stotts they look like they might go on a run.

    For the past few years I've wondered if Portland could convert a 5 on none fastbreak.

    Really? So many good plays by the Blazers so far in this game and you find one to complain about?

    NBA ball is a game of runs, nobody wins by 50 very often. Good timeout, take a breath, get back out of ratball. That just helps PHX.

    I'm really intrigued by ET at the top of the key, with CJ and Dame on both wings and Noah/Chief roaming the baselines. Really tough to double up on that, with 3 ballhandlers, 2 dunkers and all 5 with some 3pt ability

    Vonleh didn't give the guards a chance to strip him that time.

    Hurd just said Layman was raised by bobcats in Venice Beach. I don't know if he meant "cougars" or what.

    It did look like you were fouled CJ, but it's not okay that you complained to the ref's instead of get to your assignment on defense.

    Wanna know why Lorenzo Romar was fired? In part because he had lotto picks like Chriss and Fultz (in fact, twice in the last 5 years he's had 2 1st-rounders on his team) and hasn't even been to the tournament since 2011.
