    So I am having to use the trailblazers home page for the box score.

    This is a fucking joke. Worst design ever.

    He was hitting ridiculous shots. He's always been a streak shooter. But I don't think it can be denied that he is less explosive going to the rim this year. Last season he was taking it to the rack for a dunk almost every game, and this year he rarely attempts it.

    CJ ruins a 3-on-1 break trying to double-clutch reverse layup? WTF?

    I find myself wanting to snap at tunchi but it's not worth it. When Lillard does good, he's silent. Blazers do good. Silence. Only talks when both are doing bad.

    Fuck these refs. We're getting called for touch and phantom fouls and Boston is being very physical and we get jack shit.

    And some of these calls are pretty ridiculous. One sided

    I'm over it. This franchise used up all their fast breaks in the Porter/Drexler/Kersey era. We will never be able to run it again.

    Boston's defense is suffocating. Looks exactly how the other game played out thus far.

    I understand Boston is an aggressive team but refs need to stop giving these teams the edge because every time we get aggressive, it's a foul. Dictates the game and where it's going

    I'm sorry Boston is just much better than Blazers. This is why I say Brad Stevens deserves coach of the year with no superstar on their team..

    Here we go with these brilliant camera angles. I see the Blazers FO doesn't listen.

    Jeez, you just can't give the C's anything. 50/50 balls, offensive rebounds..they make you pay.

    Yeah it has been clearly obvious since early in the first that refs are trying to give Boston a win

    They jump out and double the ball on pick and rolls and we just keep doing the same shit. It's the same thing everyone does to us when they really want to shut us down. Then if the refs are going to allow them to continually dry hump us out past the 3 point line we're really fucked.

    That part is true.

    But neither coach will get it if the warriors get the record. Hell, even if they are one short or tie it he will. There's a narrative, and they must abide by it. Kerr won it even before he coached this year, as odd as that sounds.
