    I'd love to see Stotts make a statement and start the bench.

    The bright side is we're only down 9 with the way Dame/CJ are playing. Feels like a bigger margin when Rondo/AD are getting whatever they want.

    I’m not horribly scared rn, I still feel like we finding decent shots. It’s just that we keep turning over the ball. Eventually some of these shots are gonna go down for us.

    I can. I sat around all day amped up for this game and talking about it with my dad and I kept saying I had this sickening feeling they were going to lay an egg. And here we fucking are.

    Let's hope that's the worst 24 minutes we play this postseason. Yuck.

    Can't believe how horribly unprepared this team looks. WTF was coaching doing?

    WTF were Dame and CJ doing last night?

    It worked last time we played them. They were winning every single quarter, we pulled ahead in the 4th and won.

    But that's not a winning strategy that we can bet on.

    We haven't been making shots lately though, so how are you so sure they'll fall?

    Our guards aren't shooting well....and they certainly aren't playing any defense on Holiday.

    Okay. I'm on it. I have no doubt we will sweep this team. After blowing this lead, the Pelicans will be mentally destroyed.

    What statement would that be? "I have no idea how to prepare my team, and here AD, feast on this!"

    12-0 run by the Pels without a TO from Stotts. What's new?‍♂️

    Well that was ugly. Who's got homecourt? Except for Collins and Pat Con, Blazers are wound too tight tonight. Not playing loose, not finding Nurk, not shooting well at all. They need to knock this baby stuff off, and come out with some fervor. How 'bout set some picks for the shooters. Crash the boards. Have some fun. Go Blazers!!

    This is unreal... 3 points combined by Dame and CJ... absolute worst case scenario. So disappointing
