    Tie game after 1.
    Played pretty poorly with a lot of defensive lapses.
    However a bad team like the Pelicans can build a 6 point lead and lose it in less than 53 seconds.
    We'll see what it's like after 48. not 11.

    That was a nice way to end an otherwise iffy quarter.

    It’s a game of runs bro. Relax a bit. Blazers will get this.

    Our offense is relying on Dame to breakdown the entire defense from a standstill and score on 2 defenders or thread a difficult pass through traffic. Dame is so amazing that he can handle it, but it's hard not to think that we could make things a little easier on him...

    Quartertime
    Us - 31
    Them - 31

    3PM/A(%)
    Us - 1/8 (12.5%)
    Them - 4/10 (40%)

    Even despite us shooting terribly from deep. Start knocking down threes, and we've got this.

    We wasn't sharp that Quarter especially defense we foul to much and pickup to many fouls. But close the quarter very well.

    We should dominate this soft ass team. Basketball isn't for "relaxing", it's for enjoying, and I'm not enjoying consistent mind-boggling defensive breakdowns.

    When 1M misses wide open looks you kind of have to do that.

    No you don't. You realize he can cut, or screen, or move right?

    Melo miss

    They are not just relying on Dame. But maybe it’s the right thing to do?

    Or better yet, play mediocre defense. That'd be a huge improvement.

    Ball didn't lie. Melli wasn't shooting. It should've been side out

    He did. He missed at the rim then he fed Skal and he missed.
    You are watching right?
