    The Blazers without swish3s get the loss, with the Mavs getting a 15 pt advantage in the Dec 16 loss in Dallas. Let's return to scoring 16+ swish3s and win the Rockets and Thunder games. And let's get together with effective defense and minimize the TOs.

    They didn't have 0 3PM so explain the difference?

    You swap that 18 made threes by the Mavs with the 13 made threes by the Blazers and you have your win. The TO's might very likely have had a bunch to do with that.

    You might be on to something here?

    The Blazers scored 30 more points on swish3s than the Rockets in the Dec 17 win, even though that was only 13. Dame and Simons had 5 each. Despite being outrebounded and the refs giving the Rockets a 10 shot FT advantage, this was enough for the win.

    Let's keep up the intensity on D and O, limit TO, and aim for 16+ swish3s scored for a win over the Thunder Monday.
