    Maybe he will stop advocating for Stotts and CJ and be open to a better coach and a better, more rounded sidekick.

    Portland was left with Powell, CJ, and Ant, all 6'3 SG's defending 6'10 Porter

    it's hard to keep track of all the ways Olshey, and his fucking ego, have failed the franchise and failed Dame

    Flaw after flaw with how this roster was made... This isn't a scheme thing.

    It is not just the guards. Everyone except Nurk and Kanter are bad rebounders.

    RoCo is not great but he did have 19/10 tonight and even with the missed dunks, shot 50%.

    Agreed... Roco with the missed put back in OT and the dunk in 2OT hurt, but he did more than enough for us to win.

    Pretty sure he’s getting beat on the boards this series, at least from the eye test.

    He's 6'7" playing PF and Center against guys bigger than him, so it doesn't come as a huge surprise.

    I'm not here to say RoCo is amazing, that giving up two 1st round picks was a great move, but he wasn't anywhere near the main problem tonight... if Nurk and CJ played half as well as RoCo, we win this thing in regulation.

    Just my observation. The series against OKC, whoever wins the first tip wins the game. This series, whoever wins the 1st qtr wins the game. Just something to think about.

    It makes me so mad I can't believe it. We wasted one of the best playoff performances in the history of the NBA.
