    Spurs tried to let us back in. We politely declined.

    I mean, I get it. CJ's playing like hot garbage tonight. He's taking bad shots and he's missing easy ones.

    Then I look at who else the Blazers are putting on the floor and I'm wondering who the heck else is going to score if he doesn't.

    We're not the Spurs. We don't run such good offense that we can get anyone a decent look. When we do get open looks, who exactly can make them with any consistency? RoCo? Snell? Smith?

    CJ and Norm are basically the only guys who can create any kind of offense.

    meanwhile, the Suns won their 18th in a row tonight

    if you're keeping track, just 3 seasons ago Portland won 53 games, Phoenix won 19

    You could make a great instructional video of how to run an offense with ordinary offensive talent vs. how not to run an offense period.

    Look at the open space the Spurs create. Then look how congested it is when the Blazers have the ball.

    The Blazers are the more talented team, but everything tonight is predicated on guys beating their defender one-on-one while the Spurs keep running guys both with the ball and without off screens with great spacing.

    Nice to see McLemore playing well. Hopefully he can become a nice spark plug off the bench.

    I don't know if I agree that Por tonight is the more "talented" team, certainly the out "coached" team

    Well I guess spurs couldn't miss all half and looks like they went on a run at the right time.
