    Bad Boy Crowder… That’s one thing the Blazers are missing, that toughness

    example of good coaching: phoenix exposes denver in the pnr over and over again

    example of bad coaching: portland didnt expose denver in the pnr, instead they were chucking threes over and over again

    That does help, but it's not like the blazers played defense.

    Denver is getting killed in the series, so let the Jokic to Portland rumors ensue!

    Monty and CP3 continue to be relentless in running the same action over and over until you Denver stops it.

    And this aggressive pick and roll defense with early rotations are making the reads way too easy for Paul. Took Dame a game or two to really recognize them consistently. CP is just on a whole different level as a passer and general feel and IQ for the game.

    Monty's been great with the play designs too.

    Talked about the drag screens (both single and double) to get in MPJ or whoever into these long tag and recovers and the Chicago action out of the corners, but even little things like running fake Spain pick and roll to get a drop with Jokic, knowing that they want to defend it by dropping and switching the ball handler and the back screener.

    Just been beautiful to watch.
