    How is Davis allowed to drag guys on screens but Gabriel can't breathe on him?

    Good timeout. Bad decision by Dame trying to shoot over Davis.

    So they have completely taken Dame out of the game.

    We need a mute button for Webber. This is much like McHale and his lovefest of Westbrook and PG last year

    If AD going to play that way, Dame needs to fake and draw fouls. He can’t seem to shoot over him

    Stotts has gone almost completely away from involving Nurk on offense in this second half.

    What a huge mistake. He gets us easy baskets. SMH...

    And they changed how they’re defending him. They have taken him out of the game. I’m not talking about the first quarter.

    Can you imagine if we ever got the calls that Davis is getting?

    Yup, that's it. They went to him much more frequently in the first quarter.

    Had to back down himself from the three point line. Not ideal.

    The blazers are just forcing it a bit on offense & it’s giving them too much ground to make up on the other end

    Just think about how much more entertaining this would be if they called this game like they used to call the playoffs?
