    No that would be the Hawks. We are just an okay team that played a good Utah team to OT in their building.

    Because he didn't.

    I will agree Dame did a hell of a job when we needed to.

    They are an easy group to root for, but I've been a Yankee fan since th 70s

    Because I watched the game and saw Hood doing the same thing CJ was doing. Hunting for shots and forcing bad ones early in the shot clock and missing.

    Need to figure out this offense fast or the season is going to slip away. West is too competitive. Can't keep giving away leads like this in the last minute.

    So no one was guarding Hood when he shot 0-10 in his home gym?

    Exactly. Because we were playing good defense. If our defense was bad, he'd be getting good looks and scoring.

    Lillard should take a shot or pass to Nurkic. Should know Gobert was there

    I suspect if he'd have been more patient, he'd have gotten the same looks the rest of his team was getting. He was rushing it and trying too hard to go iso. The very same thing we criticize Dame, CJ, and Nurk for.

    His trade value will never be higher. We need a change.

    he scored in paint on Gobert a minute earlier going baseline. Lillard ain't afraid of Gobert.

    It's not all about offense. I was referring to Turnovers. Dame had 6 TOs in that game just like CJ had 6 TOs in this game.

    In the first quarter, I agree our defense was good. It was patchy in the 2nd, but Hood was helping us by jacking bad shots, and we just got worse as the game wore on. 30 points in the 4th and 18 in OT. Bad.
