Problem is, they're 27th in the league in three-point shooting.

And it is a problem when you play teams like San Antonio and Oklahoma City who over-rotate on all penetration.

And I've always compared it to like when you put food into a fishbowl, if you looked at the lane from above, when the ball's dribbled into the lane, that's what it looks like against these teams.

Piranhas, how they go to the fish food, right?

That's what it looks like.

And so as a result,

That kickout pass, if you're good enough to make that without it getting tipped, and they're going to close out lightning fast, and they're going to get there, but you will get the shot.

You better make your share.

And you're going to have to have these crazy shooting nights against them, and I just don't think Portland's capable of doing that.

So they're fun.

It's going to come to an end, but the good news is it's moving in the right direction.

They've got a nice little mix of a couple of vets.

and a bunch of young dudes.

I like watching play.

I'm really impressed with the improvement of Tamani Kamara.

I almost didn't recognize him offensively.

I haven't seen him in person all year.

But watching a guy in person is different than on TV.

I'm like, man, this guy, this guy's offense and the way he's hunting it and shooting threes early in the offense and putting a ball on the floor.

He's so great defensively.
