Sorry, Hakeem, I'm not buying it. Look at our record, look at Portland's. Doncic and Dame cancel each other out. The rest of their team that played tonight eats the rest of our roster for lunch talent-wise. That's how big the talent gap is. Then you throw in how abominably Dallas has been playing defensively.
Fine, no moral victory, but I called it in the second post on this thread - people who thought that it was probable that Dallas would win this were out to lunch. A Dallas victory would have been a fun upset, but objectively, 10 times out of 10, an upset. Portland is still a better team than we are. If it makes you feel better to be bitter about it, carry on.
If we lose a single one of the games against the Thunder, Magic, Pistons, Grizz, or Rockets, that's the time to be disgusted.
