    Might as well. We are already last in the NBA in assists.

    No ball movement still. It’s like the panic strategy for us. Give the ball to dame and cj and hope they can become gods down the stretch. No. Move the ball. That’s how you get looks and succeed

    Our offense wastes 10 seconds trying to get a switch but it never works. Then someone isos.

    Holy fucking shit.

    Blazers need to shift Aminu to SF and put Collins in to start at PF.

    Bury ET on the end of the bench.

    This game being refereed by the three blind mice is just the perfect cherry on top of our shit sandwich of a performance.

    You guys realize that our point guard who claims he is 1st team All NBA is getting embarrassed by Rajon Rondo in 2018 on his home floor. Rondo has taken Dame to the hole two straight possessions

    You know who would have helped in this series...DeAndre Jordan. Good thing we didn't take any chances though.

    What I meant was y'all like Rob Schneider from The Waterboy. One minute "Yoouu can dooo it!" Two possessions later"Cut his fucking head off!"

    I’m over CJ.

    Problem with trying to move him now is, despite the points he’s putting up, he just looks like a black hole and no D.

    Meanwhile our defense switches at the first hint of a screen and then just lets the other team have their way with the mismatch while the other 4 defenders stand with their hands in their pockets. Or we just let the ball defender get picked and give no help until it's way too late, if at all.
