    We’ve been in worse positions, just need to keep this game in arms reach for the 4th quarter.

    Pretty fortunate that’s it’s only a single digit deficit right now.

    Whiteside needs to be more aggressive grabing boards. Melo has a stinker but actually everyone has a bad game. With Dame sitting we can not fall to double digits

    C mon Blazers! Get yourself together!

    We can attack them, need some run to gain self - confidence and start to hit the shots...

    Dame is doing fine against the pressure defense he's faced....no other Blazer is playing well

    Lakers have been playing great defense on us since game 1. And they continue to shut us down. Only thing that kills them really is they can’t hit 3s

    Letting the Lakers score at the basket.
    That is smart.
    DO NOT FOUL!!!!
    Let them have all the 2 at the rim.
    Fast break..DO NOT FOUL!!!
    Offensive rebound..DO NOT FOUL!!!!
    Lakers can't shoot.
    Blazers can.
    Let them make 2's.Blazers make 3's.....
    ..Now, that's not everything, but it is an approach that I think I'm seeing..

    Shooting 12.5 percent from the 3 is not going to cut it for 3 point shooting team.

    Only Terry complaint: Offense got too stagnant and we isolated way too much without running sets.

    Other than that, Nurkic and Whiteside killed us in every area of the game that 1st quarter. They need to wake up.
