Also, I get what you guys are saying that LMA and Lillard wont go for 80ish points combined again, but you have to understand every game takes on its own personality. Sure they might not get the same numbers, but shots will go to other players who may step up. It's silly for us to assume that because LMA/Lillard will regress to the mean that it automatically means a win for us.
I guess the thing that I noticed when going back to watch parts of the game again is that Portland (like us) sucks defensively. But in this game, their players were all very intense and trying hard. We didn't match that at all.
"We don't know how to win"....isn't that the same thing as "We're stupid"? Because that's how I feel about game #1.
