    ...that's what I am saying, I still like our chances in the playoffs if we are within a possession or two when Dame and CJ shoot 0% from beyond the arc because that shit ain't happening again!

    A silver lining: Nurk was a Fantastic Beast and the Blazers knew where to find him (in the low post).

    hopefully dame and cj dont take it too hard and use it as a motivator. on the big stage we need them to step up, this wasnt pretty tonight

    on the flipside, Nurk, Aminu, and Mo played really well - they're the reasons we were even that close, well played guys

    If any of our guards played defense the way Paul does, they wouldn't average 12 minutes per game.

    Tonight my only complaint is two dumb fouls he picked up. Needs to play smarter. If he hadn't have picked up two dumb frustration fouls we win the game.

    Blazers beat the Rockets in EVERY category save 3's and FT shot and that was with Dame/CJ not having great games. Rockets had to shoot over 50% from 3 to beat us by 4 points.

    You mean against 40 win teams with multiple injuries?

    Yeah. Sure. Moral victories.

    I had hope, but I was never fooled by the smoke.

    And they got good looks. I felt both actually passed on a few good looks too. Not sure what that was about.

    Houston had a great defensive scheme for Dame and CJ most of the game... Dame couldn't get any space most of the time.
