    I don't hate fast-break three pointers, but Trent pulling up with a 3 on 1 wasn't ideal.

    I was questioning if they were really an offensive upgrade from those two when we signed them and people freaked out at the suggestion.

    Even I thought RoCo was going to be a better shooter though.

    Covington still can't hit a three. Glad he is back though and glad the Blazers have the lead.

    Lillard getting to his spots, I like it. Dame aggressive early. It's what we need.

    I wish Kanter was as strong finishing shots as he is pulling down boards.

    Like watching two lottery teams trying to gracefully tank.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say these are not the two best defensive teams in the league.

    There shooting 50 percent from the 3 and we shooting 18 percent but good thing is we only down by 2. But it's same story with the defense.

    Is there a stat that tracks how much distance players cover per min? I’ve noticed that every game Melo basically switches every action whether it’s on or off ball, probably to compensate for the fact that he has the mobility of a center. Like centers that are already retired.
