Curry is injured and we're a game behind GS and the #1 seed.

We have played the most home games of any team but still. WOO

Aminu hit a couple of '3's but gave up 7 or 8 to Tatum/Morris. CJ shot 40% with 1 assist. Jury is still out on those two.

So are you suggesting that he "Tebowed" that game--ie, that he was a big part of the reason that his own late-game heroics were even necessary?

I felt like Stauskus did a bad job on defense in the run the celtics made, left shooters on the wing open a few times. Tatum made some really tough shots, but a lot of the open looks they had were bad rotations by Stauskus.

Aminu played pretty well overall.

I thought Nurk was terrific. Boston had a lot of trouble with his size.

That was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but in going back and reviewing, Aminu left MorrisTatum on several of their '3's and didn't get to them in transition on a couple more. They combined to go 8-15. Stauskas was out there for a couple of them but didn't see him matched up with those two very often and on top of that, he only played 13 minutes the entire game so his chances to leave someone wide-open were somewhat limited. Layman also left Tatum open on one when he was late rotating out after a switch.

Just gonna throw this out there

Our pick next year, Turner, and Harkless or Meyers for Hayward.

Do you do it?

I think over time layman could be the baller Hayward is in Boston. He was featured in SLC. I now he's been out for a year but I wasn't that impressed with his D.

The Blazers will face the Lakers next with Tyson Chandler and on a 3 game winning streak. We all know this blazers team after beating a top 5 team and lay an egg the next game.

And we all know that this Blazers team is a very good road team. They were last year too.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Layman is better than Hayward

This was one of those games when I am grateful it is not gymnastics or diving where they award style points. Just need one more than the other guys. At year's end when we count Blazers wins, no one will remember if it was pretty or ugly.

Come on, we’ve played one more home game than the Warriors and Nuggets, and that’s about to get reversed in a big way with this upcoming “Where in the World are the Portland Trail Blazers?” road trip.

The first half was pretty for the Blazers. The Celtics made some adjustments at halftime to ugly up the game and it almost worked for them.
