Do It For The Flipper (Wolves vs. Blazers GT)
Re: Do It For The Flipper (Wolves vs. Blazers GT)
Well the wolves blew a 17 point lead just like that. Frustrating to say the least

I'm sure the initial emotion drained them toward teh end of the half. Hopefully they get it back to begin, and finish the 2nd half!

I was thinking the same thing, but then I see he has 9 points. I don't know that he will be held under 15 very often as long as Ricky is playing.
Nice little comeback by the Blazers. They're not nearly as good as last year, but any team with Lillard on it is going to win its share of games...he's a terrific player.

Yeah, that was bad. Defense broke down, although Portland made some tough shots there. Aminu is not a guy known for swishing jumpers, but he's made them tonight. And McCollum/Lillard is very good offensively.

I think Wiggins back is affecting him. He just doesn't look the same.

After a nice start, Towns has come back down to earth this game. Hopefully he comes back strong in the 2nd half.
And can we free up some shooters? 1-6 from 3.

You have to wonder why the hell didn't Towns get touches during the last five minutes of the half, especially when the offense went cold. I don't understand the thinking there.

I'm not so sure, he's not on the injury report at all. His baseline cut that led to a dunk....he got up FAST.
Wiggins still has problems being strong with the ball. I've seen a few times this year already where they run that curl play for him and he gets easily stripped once he gets the ball. I know they like him playing downhill, but he has to get stronger with the ball.

Wiggins is such a soft ass. How many long twos does he have to settle for and miss before he realizes he needs to get to the rim?

Especially with a 5 inch height advantage...I don't get it.
We're surprisingly in the game, despite 1-9 on threes.
