    Can't believe the blazers got 10 more free throws then Houston at the half. Melo has been great, overall great first half, need to keep up this intensity in the second half. God I hope we win this one, go Blazers!

    Expecting to see some tucker screens before half court in the second half.

    Don't expect them to let us set up in that triangle and 2 every time down...

    They got ran off by our 5 to 10 seriously Negative Nancy's, that cram their thoughts down our throats.

    Prove me wrong.

    When right they look like there not in rythem when there shooting them. I feel like Harden will try to force things more so expect him try to get foul a lot this half. But they really look slow tonight on defense tonight and we continue to move the ball they should get good shots.

    No help D on Harden and straight to the bucket and one. You should never have a guy behind you for easy 2 if rotating properly.

    How many missed lay-ups do the blazers have tonight. At least 4 if not 5.

    This team confuses me greatly. That said, I would happily be confused by a win tonight!

    You can't leave Gordon open for a 3.

    Leave Rivers or House wide open; not Gordon!

    I'd rather have Rivers shoot the corner 3 than Gordon shoot the elbow three.
    Gotta be ready to steal that pass and risk the long skip to the corner from Har_en on that though.
    Different when it's not Gordon though.

    Think I saw the staff point that out after the 2nd one...

    And FWIW, Rivers was the one in the corner on both plays (39.5% from the corners) vs EG 32.3% on the year.

    I don't play basketball but I don't think I would need the staff to tell me that. :")

    Everytime Westbrick backs down Lillard. Feel like Lillard is thinking ''Does this fool know how to do anything else?''

    Ugh, felt better with the lead at 17, but still 13 at the end of the quarter. Finish!
