According to NBA.com, the Blazers' lanky forward guarded All-Star big man Anthony Davis on 18 possessions in Game 2 and held him scoreless, forcing three turnovers. After tormenting the Blazers in Game 1, Davis had 22 points and 10 rebounds, while making 9 of 16 shots, heading into the fourth quarter. Then Davis didn't score in the fourth quarter.

Aminu is our most underrated player, that's for sure. He's more important to the team's success than CJ.

Chief played his best game. But the Pels didn't really focus on guarding him AT ALL. He was wide open all night. But I commend him for hitting shots and playing hard.

That is exactly what they did. They sat there and asked him to shoot it.
