    I don't think it's an effort thing. Pretty sure that's what a more talented team looks like vs a lesser one. The better team looks faster. This is what the playoffs are supposed to be about. Pelicans are raising their play and I just don't think the Blazers have another gear in them. We only have two guys who can keep up with this intensity and even they look overwhelmed at times. Why isn't Nurk playing more? Try and slow the game down. Gonna require moving and passing more though, something we've seemed to have forgotten how to do.

    Also I refuse to shit on dame. Yes he hasn’t played great. He hasn’t taken some bad shots but remember he also is getting schemed against on the defensive end. It all revolves around him. That’s why his playoff performances haven’t been great, teams have been doing this every year and stotts has no adjustment to it which also has to do with the talent on our roster. Dame is the only reason why we are in the playoffs. Remember that. Dude is 1st team all nba so don’t start that dame hate shit. Jrue holiday isnt getting doubled and swarmed.

    I think Nurk was quoted wrong earlier in the year when he said "We want to be bad boys". The reporter forgot to add the important comma in that sentence. It should have read, "We want to be bad, boys".

    Alright, this is what the Blazers need to do. Surround Dame with the other four starters like offensive linemen. Form a semi circle around him so he can shoot. Let him shoot it 60 times in the second half. After he releases the ball, scramble hard to the hoop just in case a shot is missed. Like a battering ram if you will. Next, get a shaver, and split that ridiculous eyebrow right down the middle.

    True, cause all the contact they get away with in this series, will be called against them against those primadonnas.

    Ouch. Aminu is playing on par with Anthony Davis and we're down 19. How does that happen?

    Yeah but it’s not like that 3 seed wasn’t close. A couple games separated us from the 3rd and being the 8th seed
