Damn Portlandia, it's like that? :picard:

Definition of it was all good jus a week ago :huhldup:

@Serious DO SOMETHING! :damn::bryan:
Yeah jrue is a true menace and nikola just couldn't miss. Lillard has been playing like garbage, just jacking up shots from beyond the arc, since he knows he can't drive to paint as much when AD is there.... but he should be able to drive and kick back out to open man.....

This game was on lillard though, his lack of defense was exposed something serious. I'm not really surprised though, i didnt think they'd go too far this year, because they still have a lot of deadweight on their bench between leonard,layman, and a couple others...

Side note, zach has been stepping it up. He still looks timid out there and is passing up open looks....

If they lose it's time to break up the tiny backcourt, you can't have two little guards like that where neither can defend.
I've been saying this since the start of the season, if anything this becoming more apparent during this series. They're going have to make a big move for their future this off season.....

Figure out a way to package turner and dame / cj as well.....

a total rebuild might not be bad idea either, if they really like Zach....

I know Lillard has had great playoff performances but again you can't complain about not being an all star or NBA 1st team when your team has home court for the first time in a long time and you are getting your ass handed to you by what I believed to be and what many other people believed to be a lesser PG on your home court two games in a row. The Blazers should be the better team but Holiday's ability to completely outplay Lillard has played a part in this surprising outcome so far.
Once upon a time Steph Curry got clamped up for 2 games by Delladova in the finals. LeBron got shytted on by Jason Terry before. You're telling me those two players ain't as elite as they claim to be also? You're reacting to the moment breh.

I’m sorry but I will be adamant that you have to move either Dame or CJ(more then likely CJ) for an quality wing/picks. NO running 3 guards out there because there is no fear of trash ass Turner hurting you on offense. You already got the big in collins. Get a wing and a rebounding 4.
That’s why I said the clippers should make a run for him

Yes but the difference is they turned it around. If Lebron didn't redeem himself the way he did in later finals,especially that legendary 2016 one, that would have been a huge stain on his legacy because his 2011 NBA finals performance was pitiful. I also don't think Curry has been amazing in the Finals especially with the exception of the 2017 finals when you let Iguodala win finals MVP over you but hey. That 2016 finals was a choke especially that 4 for 17 game 7 but he redeemed himself in the 2017 NBA finals with some pretty impressive stats at about 27 ppg on 44% from the field and about 39% from 3 almost averaging a triple double.:ehh: Lillard has to turn it around for this series and I believe he can as I seen him have many big games in the past. But if he doesn't :francis:

Lillard hasn't had a chance to turn it around the series is in the present which is why I'm saying you're overrating to the moment.

He had two chances so far at HOME.:childplease: . He played like shyt the first game so everyone assumed he would bounce back the second game and he still got shytted on in front of his fans. But again like I already mentioned in a earlier post in the thread he will have multiple opportunities to have breakout games and turn this series around and he will get his praise if he does. Believe it or not I like watching Lilard play especially when he is in the zone.

Pels should just protect home court and close this series out. I wonder who could give Warriors and rockets more of a challenge tho?
