    Our defense is really pathetic. Looks like they’re just going through the motions. Not sure what happened to the energy and intensity on defense to start the season.

    Portland has a backup C. What they needed was another stretch-4 like Grant to put on Wood. And they needed some coaching on rotations and switches

    Blazers having a titty fit that Doncic is getting his way. They need to tighten up defense and pull their heads out they ass.

    How do you not hunt and attack Kemba Walker every second he is in the game? He’s still trying to get into game shape and he’s a terrible defender.

    I see they've resorted back to Terry Stotts defense.

    Honest to god, this team would be better with a C who isn't such a whiner and cry baby.

    Blazers gave up 5 points on two cheap Mav offensive rebounds in the last minute of the half. Remember those 5 points at the end of the game

    good to see the Blazer half-time adjustment was to come out and actually play worse defense than the totally shitty 1st half defense

    We seemed to fold the second Dallas lifted. Dame is the only one fighting back, everyone else is forcing it.
