The deal is. Luka's gotta realize that it's time to go to the basket when the 3 isn't falling. Working inside and using Seth got the lead! Shouldn't have gone back to the step back 3s.
I think he was just tired, same as Porzingis. It explains bad shot selection and missing free throws.
The guys with the lower load chucking like Brunson were more of a problem.
All in all they were the better team talent wise, that will change once Nurkic is back.
Conditioning will hopefully improve as the season goes or they learn to manage their energy better.
McCollum played close to 41 minutes.
Stotts played a playoff rotation.
The refs were not biased folks. Portland was just a rough and tough physical opponent wearing our guys down.
In the end they won. Would have slept better with a win also. Still no need to rage. But if you need to vent go ahead
