Honestly, i would rather see Horford, Hauser, Brogdon shooting 3s than Brown and Tatum.

JT's 2/3 from 3 so far.

Hat tip to Joe's Magic 8 Ball.  Tonight it said "Play Hauser".

that one made me snort out a laugh

Come on JT.  Two sloppy turnovers.  At least they're dead ball TOs.

Real bang up job by the refs tonight. That's a clear charge on Reddish. Smart beat him to the spot.

JT's shot looks much, much better. Wonder how much is fatigue with his shooting lately. Seems like once he's had a game off (e.g. Bucks game off followed by 38 against Detroit), he's shot and looked much better.

Great minutes from the bench.

Not to jinx it (because after watching the last 3 games... ugh), but this Blazers defense is not good. Scal is 100% right, there'll be open shots all night long and a lot of space. C's need to simply take care of business themselves and not choke it

Solid contribution from the bench tonight.

I love Lillard. He's a phenomenal scorer and shooter

His issue though is besides that, he's pretty erratic. Tries to do too much. Sometimes makes an errant pass when nothing is available on a drive. Already 4 turnovers tonight

He's capable of hitting long 3s but when he misses, the Blazers get killed in transition on the other end

Not watching
Just saw the score.  Let me guess….3s are falling tonight.  Apparently, it’s the only way we win.  Ignored it for too long, but the sample size is large enough now.

2nd round exit unless we revert to last season calling card - Defense!

thrilled they're up 18 but even having watched the game, I can't for the life of me figure out how they have that much of a lead

Hauser always plays. Almost 18mpg over the last 10. 3pt shooting has been on point lately as well.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

These early shot clock 3's are just terrible.

Here we go again - Get the lead and start playing lazily jacking up bad threes. Don't fall victim to it again!
