Finally, there seems to be an answer for getting beat up by 3-pointers.  I can't explain what that is.  I'm not interested in learning tactics and the merits of drop coverage versus switching.  I just want them to not give up threes like they were, like they have been.  It started off like one of those nights.  I think the Blazers were getting one three per minute in the first 5 minutes... and that had me terrified.  I mean... they were on track for 48 three-pointers.  And these days even that wouldn't surprise me.  There were a few more, but then they started missing – a lot.  Meanwhile the Bucks started rolling, and basically widened their lead from mid 1st quarter on and the whole 4th quarter was pretty much garbage time.  And I think a lot of that was down to good defense.

This game was a big sigh of relief.  I thought Lillard might have an obscene scoreline, like 70 points off 21 threes.  Instead he was limited to 17.  Fine by me.  More of that, please.
