Lamar Hurd even trying to figure out a nice way to say how dumb it is to play a zone against this team.

Stotts could hedge pick n rolls, but nah, he goes to a zone against a team killing us from 3. What a genius.
 
We went in a zone but they didn't play the zone right.
It doesn't matter if we do play it right... The weaknesses of a zone are:
1.) It gives up open 3s
2.) It gives up driving lanes if the offense moves the ball
3.) It gives up offensive rebounds
4.) In the NBA, it's easy to pick up defensive 3 second calls

Please tell me how that makes any sense to run in this game.
 
That’s why I hate using injuries as an excuse... you are telling me Finney-Smith, Howard, and Kleber are better than CJ, Melo, and Whiteside?! We have a terrible coach!

I'd take Dallas' three conidering they would have a one man advantage. Most NBA players should be able to win 3 on 2.
 
I don't understand Mario guarding Luka from the side when he not getting help. To me useless playing D like that.
 
Bazmore is worse than Aminu. Anytime he gets in the break, we turn it over
 
They are playing Bazemore, Mario, and Trent with Dame and Whiteside without rest.
Lillard will end up playing 40 mins sick and Whiteside will most likely foul out.
Melo has to at least rest a couple mins.
The Mavs will wear them down.
Blazers need to find a way to keep it close?

And they play tomorrow night, lol.
 
I'll probably get ripped for saying this, but for Portland to play Dallas even that quarter under the circumstances is very impressive.
 
Don’t worry guys, we will win this one on Dame last second shot
 
Dame didn't even try to get around that last screen. He might little tire but if not going to hedge against that pick there going continue have open shots.
 
Please, please, please, please, please have the player guarding the screener hedge a pick when Luka has the ball. Our defense is literally saying here Luka take this open shot!
You guys keep saying hedge the pick. But the Blazers don’t have a player strong enough and mobile enough to do it. Exactly who do you want on the floor doing it?
 
Portland doesn't have a chance if Lillard sits, but they can't play him 44 minutes
