Well I need a dame dolla, dolla a dame dolla is what I need

Missing good shots and letting them back in.

 

[Tince]

Giles continues to struggle to finish in the paint.

I wish he'd just dunk it

 

[Cugel]

Too many blown lay ins. So much fora 20 pt lead.

 

[Cugel]

13 2 run and no timeout

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Well that was fun while it lasted

 

[BlazerBeav]

Our offense forcing it into Melo is a god damn disaster. Entry passes are bad, shots are bad.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Up 20 and in 5 minutes it's a game. So stupid.

 

[DDolla]

Watch how we lose by 30 after leading by 20

 

[julius]

and just like that it's a 7 point game.

This team is literally allergic to leads.

 

[Chris Craig]

There it goes

 

[Serbian]

Our second unit is trash

 

[Labinot41]

Bruh

 

[illmatic99]

We are hellbent on forcefeeding Melo in the post this quarter? I swear that is one of our least efficient actions this whole season. Teams dont double it ever and he keeps missing. Why do we keep running it?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Nobody on the second unit knows how to run an offense; it's dreadful.

 

[Cugel]

All the team can do is jack 3s. That's it. Hope you make them or Enes can get a put back.

 

[Tince]

13 2 run and no timeout

Timeouts have no measurable impact on momentum, only on the next possession.

It's funny coaches think they do have an impact and call them only when their team is doing poorly. You'd think in todays world of analytics someone would break this old school trend.

The coach is calling these plays for Melo in the post

 

[julius]

I don't get why they go to Melo at all as an insolation.

Also, looks like Simons is in the "good at home, shit on the road" stage of his career.

[wizenheimer]

I wonder if things would look different if Portland had a backup PG

 

[Labinot41]

Okay, which one of you jinxed it ?

 

[Darkwebs]

Our lead just ghosted us

 

[Tince]

All the team can do is jack 3s. That's it. Hope you make them or Enes can get a put back.

3pt Attempts:
Portland - 12
Houston - 17

 

[AldoTrapani]

See why blazers suck. It’s better to blow this shit up. Their garbage

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

The coach is calling these plays for Melo in the post

If that's true, that's dreadful!

 

[AldoTrapani]

blazers are garbage this year

 

[Tince]

If that's true, that's dreadful!

First 3 words are the key to that post.

 

[julius]

They aren't calling continuation on that, are they!?
