Blazers defending well and have us rushing the shots a bit. Too many blown layups and in-and-out shots.
Not sure why the Kings are going back to the BS defense. Just stick your man. Yes, they're going to target Keon or Monk on the switch, but that's better than giving up 3's right now.
I honestly don’t know what to do with Keegan. We need his defense but his offense looks so bad.
Honestly, the Blazers should be taking more threes given our defense lol.A team that averaged 12 three pointers a game had 9 at half. That’s the difference
Blazers is only up by 4 cause they foul a lot and have many turnovers. It looks like if Portland has a decent run they will take a big lead and end this match, hope our guys prove me wrong!
They've seemed to hate man to man defense all season. Not sure why, cause their zone usually gets chewed up by the 3
More like we are stacked with short players. It's the new league standard now.Really hating this trend towards teams stacking themselves with talented long players that make us look very short.
Blazers are not taking enough threes given how open they are. Why would we want to encourage it with zone defense?I firmly believe zone defense is something you should not run without some practice...or practice at all. There's a bunch of new guys on the team.
Maybe if it features Keegan/Carter/Keon on the front or something... but zone with Derozan/Lavine/Monk?...nah lol.
It's all communication and reads

Are they back to Callabro? I haven’t watched a local broadcast. They alternate between the homiest homers and Mark Jones national level pro.Blazers announcers for real one of the best in the business and very objective. They have no problem describing how good Sabonis is.
Used up all their shooting against us. (but as we all know that Sac to Denver back-to-back is a killer)Looks like the Magic didn't score 130 tonight fellas

Spacing has been awful. Too much 1 on 1. They need to learn to play together. JV filling a bid need though.So our offense is mostly ISOs, Monk can not play pick n roll (with any of our Lithuanian centers today) 0 assists in the half, whole team has 10, DDR has 5 but 3 of them were to Keegan + Monk 3s I think.
Our interior defense looks better but in the perimeter well no comments.

Been happening a lot latelySomeone's got to box out man. Great contest from Domas, no one there to clean up
LaVine should pull the three.
