    It was 38-29.......Utah on a 15-3 run and playing with 7 players. This could get painful.

    this 2nd quarter is a classic example of what a 31M/year 'lead' guard option should be doing for Portland...but isn't

    Absolutely. It was a dumb move by him, but his eruption didn't come out of nowhere.

    This CJ/Melo pairing that Stotts goes with to stem the tides. It’s brutal

    This looks just like the other night in Denver. Team plays well to start. Then starts settling for contested jumpers early in the shot clock. Loses lead.

    I really hope when we get blown out tonight that people realize this isn't about effort or coaching. We've got 8 guys available and only 2 of them played rotation minutes last year.

    Last game before the all star break. Ariza has been around a bunch. This is about showing the team the attitude it will take to be successful. Wouldn't surprise me if this is something Lillard and him talked about doing.

    Melo, CJ, even Whiteside could use more fire.
