I've heard of running out of gas on a back-to-back but allowing 49 points in a quarter? It's a shame cuz for 2 and a half quarters this game was well in hand. Vasquez and Lou didn't do their part last night, that 3rd-quarter drought that let the Bulls back in is on them, and Casey for letting it drag on. Good to see D Rose back in elite form, hope he stays healthy from here on out.
Encouraging steps from JV against the Bulls front line on offense as well. 4 days off til the Clips at Staples. Happy holidays Raps brethren.

Lost the game in the 3rd again when they went ice cold and just continued chucking and werent even trying to get to the basket....
Val had a decent game but he faded badly in the 4th qtr...I completely get why Casey doesnt trust him on the floor in those close 4th quarter games..Hes got no stamina and hes mistaken prone on the defensive end...
He still hasnt figured out as the anchor you have to leave your man sometimes and help at the rim,you cant give uncontested dunks,layups they are momentum backbreakers....

Top Shotta, None Hotta!
Like some of you already stated - this team cannot be taken serious until they defeat the big teams in the conference. They've failed the Bulls test twice (shout outs to Rose, glad to see him playing well). The road show looks brutal.
IM putting money down on the GS,POR games..i fully expect us get blown out double digits in both games.

Bulls and cavs will be the top two seeds, so no matter where the raps end up, they'll likely see one of these teams in the second round.
Not convinced on the Cavs at all,that defense is hideous....id put Washington over them right now...
Aldridge is gonna kill Amir/JV
Way we leave open 3 point shooters....that game could get ugly by halftime.
we'll see. shyt is never that cut and dry in sports. i see Lillard playing poorly. Wes Matthews having an average game. Lopez being a non factor. Aldrdge dropping an honest 25-8 type game. And Batum...being Batum. Dorrell Wright doesnt matchup well off the bench either.

Open shots could be an issue though

Ross has to go breh.
We can talk about Val fading but the team often forgets about him after halftime. Terence Ross kept shooting three after three. I can post a screenshot of a text where I told my friend Ross needs to stop shooting after going 4-4. My dude said he was balling though and I said that shyt isnt sustainable.
Low and behold...he was trash in the 2nd half as always and had 0 free throws
Dude has to go
I smell a paypal cash bet right here cuz i know they wont win that game...if theres 2 games on this trip id id put cash money down on its those 2...
Teams that give up 49 point quarters aint winning in Portland...
They dont forget about him they just dont overuse him and thats the right strategy....The key for him being effective is giving him 10-12 shots..
If hes getting more than that ur wasting possessions because hes limited and he gets figured out as you see with the final FG % being well under 50 (8-18)
He had a hot start with about 10 shots,after that he starts repeating all his shyt and he starts getting stuffed left and right and turning the ball over...
When he starts strnking it up offensively you see it translate on the other end and thats why he doesnt play more than 30 mins and doesnt play late in games...
Decent game but i have yet to see him play well in an entire game and dominate late in games,its always first quarter when hes fresh....
Hes got no fitness which is why he always fades late and doesnt play...
