“This was a horrible sequence,” Porter mentioned after capturing 3 for 12 in a 98-90 Sport 7 loss. “I felt like I’d’ve had one or two good video games out of the seven we performed. A part of it was the best way they have been guarding. A part of it was (that) my shot wasn’t falling. It’s simply robust as a result of I do know if I might have performed as much as par with how I usually play, we might have gained this sequence. And there’s a whole lot of issues that might have been completely different as a staff, however I do know if I had performed my half, we might have gained the sequence. And I’ve gotta stay with that.”

One thing I believed didn’t get sufficient consideration in these playoffs was how a lot Michael Porter Jr’s protection slipped in comparison with final yr. He held up final yr, however the Nuggets have been petrified of him guarding Ant or KAT 1 on 1 and that led to a whole lot of their doubling. – 2:13 AM
