Thought Ant should have had about eight free throw attempts in the first half. Instead he has just two. Meanwhile, you can't breathe on Dame. Absurd.
You're right about the officiating, but Lillard has had a TON of wide open shots. Terrible defense!

Combination of bad defense and some impressive shot-making. Dame's making some toughies.

Huh. Gobert has 10 pts and 16 rebounds. Only a -2 when the wolves are down 12 at half.
The rest of the wolves have 4 rebounds total. Gobert has been by far the wolves best player tonight.
No problem, kek. There's good reason to be cranky watching this team tonight. I shouldn't single out Gobert given how horribly the other guys are playing. But there was that stretch there where Eubanks was at least matching Gobert on both ends. But that was nit-picking on my part. The worst is watching all those wide open shots by Lillard. Inexcusable.
Jerami Grant was acquired for a 2025 first-round pick and a couple swapped second-round picks. Said it when it happened, but what a huge pickup for Portland. He's been awesome for them.

Not seeing that, kek, but also not saying he's been great there (nobody has). Thought he's done a decent job chasing Josh Hart and he's made some solid plays as the low man. His defense hasn't stood out to me aside from that, good or bad.
The difference in this game is Damian Lillard, and D-Lo's typically been on the opposite side of the floor from him. At least he's giving Portland buckets right back.
