Plenty of "blame" to go around, but ultimately, this is on Cronin. Giving up size at every position leaves no margin for error.

Having said that, it was a very successful road trip in my book!

This game is on Billups for not taking a timeout during that huge fucking run to stimie the momentum.

That and not being flexible with how he runs this team.

3 quick ticky tacks and his ass would be moping on the bench. Seen that song and dance too many times before

I wish Eubanks would get 3 quick ticky tacks all games so I wouldn't have to see him play
 
Now we are looking at a three game losing streak. Fuck.
 
This roster needs major major turnover. We need to do it now even if it's not for this season. We have to get better now so we don't need some kind of monstrous jump forward in the off season.

Vanderbilt or no Vanderbilt, trade or no trade, you can't fix this defense, especially when the main culprits play 30+ MPG. Why did Gary play 12 minutes tonight? Who the fuck knows.

This team can't do what Billups wants them to. He needs to accept that or the Blazers need a new coach.
 
3-0 road trip was probably too much to ask for. Now we go home for 5 games. Let’s win em all.

If Hart could get over his mental shooting block he could have a ton of value. However, it's getting worse, and I'm lacking confidence it'll be resolved anytime soon.

To be fair, he's shooting them now - and showing why he was reluctant to do so. He's leaving them well short every time. Somebody needs to tell him it's in the legs.

I’d rather a player give their all than what we get out of Nurkic. Such a weird angle to be all over Eubanks about this loss. We’re a jump shooting team that relies on out shooting our opponent

Can't wait till he is traded.

It's not our defensive strategy. Their offensive strategy has been to find Ant and target him... that's been a winning strategy thus far.

What does that mean to "target him?"
When Vucevic makes a jumper?
When derozan scores?
when Dosunmu hits a 3-pointer?
It's all because of Simons?
 
This is the first loss this season I’m okay with. We won 5 of 6. Things are back on track. We played last night and had trouble getting into Chicago. Still almost won. Let’s sweep our home stand.

No it's because of Billups and these stupid fucking switches.
 
Team can never even be average defensively with this personnel. Have to win shootouts

He’s been better than he is now. But it’s not like he’s ever been great. My issue is it allows defenders to sag off him a lot and focus more on Lillard and Simons

We need a shooter there who can make teams pay.

The hitch, the aiming, the mechanics are all part of what appears to be a mental shooting block. I'm actually glad he's shooting.

Nah... he did call a timeout after the Bulls went on an 8-0 and the run just continued. This theory that timeouts stop runs just isn't backed up by data.
 
Watford played 30 minutes and was key to the victory in Washington.

So what does Billups do? Completely discount Watfords importance because it's not part of the master Billups plan and plays
Watford 22 minutes and goes with his boy Eubanks for 26 minutes.

Watford shot 4-5 and was 2-2 on 3-pointers.
 
Francis is breaking it down on the post game show. Basically, we didn’t hit our jumper when we needed to. When we can’t do that it’s going to be a bad outcome
