    2 Mediocre performances by our headliners means a loss to a mediocre team.

    It takes disciplined basketball. Can't be missing free throws and too many wide open shots.

    This loss goes to D'Antoni! The Bench was rolling! Rivers was playing amazing.

    Westbrook has to get Dame out of his head. Dame's team at best is going to get kicked out of the first round of the playoffs, Russ has accomplished so much more than this dude, no reason why he should feel like he has to prove anything to anyone, he's better than him, has had a better career than him, he needs to just play his game.

    Blazers deserved that win.

    Good game.

    Harden getting into foul trouble every game now needs to be addressed

    Harden tried too hard to show up, can't blame him. He needed this loss to work harder on his game for the playoffs.

    Idk if the missed free throws were from Westbrook being tired, or just a regression to the mean, but if we had those it'd be a different game.

    yes. refs can't stop you making a wide open 3 or making your free throws.
