    20 isn’t comfortable with this defense, the only comfortable lead is a meteor hitting the opposing teams bus, and with our luck the meteor would mutate them into MJ tier players instead of killing them.

    The reason was Trent’s third foul

    Nets are taking more threes, and shooting them better. We're killing them on the boards, especially offensive. Both teams have a similar number of turnovers, but the Nets are making us pay for them, we're not making them pay for theirs.

    I know why he was in game. But it doesn't play, you continue playing Trent.

    No one outside of Trent puts any sort of pressure on the ballhandler. Even if you're in the right place at the right time, players in this league will make shots if they don't feel any sort of pressure.

    Blazers players just let whoever they're guarding get comfortable. You need guys that will actually make players work for tough shots.

    giving up Wiiiiiiide open shots every time. making me pull my hair out. When dame hit those two threes, we should have created at least SOME separation, but no, we give up two wide open threes and net effect is 0. ugh
