    Could have used him not defending Tatum on that last play. Why the fuck do you put CJ on Tatum?

    We really wasted a timeout to have Dame do an iso step-back long 2 just to end up without one at the end.

    Stotts coached a fine game until the last minute.

    Got switched on. But it doesn’t matter. There was 3 6-3 guards and a 6-8 turnstile at the 1-4 anyways.

    0% chance Stotts would’ve even thought of telling his player to purposely miss a free throw there. Levels.

    entering the game, Boston was 2 games over .500; Portland was 9 games over .500. You don't get moral victories over worse teams. Actually, in the NBA, you don't get any moral victories

    I was surprised; Stotts usually hoards timeouts like gold.

    yeah...that's why Stevens instructed Smart to miss the 2nd FT.

    Some people giving Stevens a lot of credit for having a worse record than Portland while playing in the east....

    Well guys. Good news is Stotts is definitely getting fired this summer. Plus it’ll be fun to rebuild and play with the draft. This shit is getting stupid.

    The Blazers Uprise Postgame Show is about to go live. Unfortunately it is after another loss which makes 5 out of the last 7 games defeats for Portland.

    This is why its a bad idea to use all your timeouts

    They didn't put him on Tatum. Dame decided to pick up Tatum and just passed him off to CJ, making no effort to stick with him. Regardless, the result would've been the same. Big problem with us building our championship hopes on 3 guys 6'3" and under.

    I wasn't a fan of having Melo in over RoCo for the last half of the 4th quarter despite Melo's hot shooting.

    The right call no matter who made it and impressive that the players on the floor knew exactly what to do with no timeout. Pressure, trap, but under no circumstances foul.

    Well done.

    Well right now Dame and CJ is hot and cold lately pretty inconsistent overall on both ends by both of them. You can't continue shot over 40 shots a game being inconsistent on your shot. But overall I thought the ball movement was a lot better tonight and the energy was pretty good. But defense when Kanter goes in the opponent attack him. I thought Nurk is coming in form
