    Did they adjust or was it because they were at home.? They shot 50 % from deep. No adjustment just more confident at home.

    Dame and CJ still played well and Paul George was 3-16.

    Game 5 is key as always.

    They definitely adjusted their defense to trap harder and help off Aminu sand Harkless, but it was them hitting an insane rate on 3s and getting a fuck ton of FTs that made the difference.

    Part of both. They pressured the ball more and we let it slow us down, which helped setup their trap. Then they trapped harder and and rotated farther on the backside. We shouldve known it was coming. I called the backside rotation adjustment after game 1, and they didnt do it in game 2, but did it in game 3.

    We can't be too hard on the refs for missing this. They were intently looking for the Blazers to commit fouls.

    And even though I called it and said we needed a plan in place for that specific defense, we did not. But I'm an "idiot" who should "fuck off" because I'm criticizing Stotts. Smfh.

    Portland didn't get the job done. It seems to me at least the refs were blatantly helping OKC which honestly makes me hate watching the NBA. But besides that, our roleplayers didn't step up on top of OKC shooting a crazy percentage from 3. The series isn't over but hopefully you guys will stop talking about The Blazers going to the finals before we even get out of the first round.

    As he should.

    Just hope he doesn't let what happened at the end affect his decision making.
