[KingSpeed]

Terrible. Tomorrow is must win. 6 game road trip incoming.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Guys warriors score every possession down lmao wtf

 

[HailBlazers]

and you have geninuses in this thread giving each other high fives when i point our our defense has cratered without nurk.

Yeah without Nurk anchoring our D suucks.

I don't buy the theory he isn't trying and he's made 125 threes on 40% 3pt shooting. But we if can get a guy who takes/makes more threes on a better percentage for the MLE, I'd be down for that. No clue who that might be.

he's trying.

to get his own.

he can't rebound or defend.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Embarrassing

 

[LayneStaley]

GP2 is such a puke

 

[cdub503]

How can the players come out flat, you mean? Why aren't the dumb turnovers, missed open shots, and poor individual defense the problem?

We have to stop blaming the coach for every loss. Especially road losses when short handed.

This, While i dont think billups is the best coach out... its hard to believe that its mainly his fault. Do we have some bad adjustments and or what seems like no adjustments at all? sure but all teams do its not a us only problem and no ones out there in the huddles or practices to know what hes actually saying to these guys let alone all the assistants, its only exasperated by our lack of length and talent. Teams come out flat it happens.... everyone around here has such knee jerk reactions to everything its crazy... billups has only been head coach for two years and everyone wants to cut him out before hes even had the talent pool to even try to do anything yet.

 

[Propagandist]

Fuck Chauncey.

 

[OneSport3]

Outscored 71-36 in the 2nd half so far.

 

[riverman]

MCNUGGETS!!!!

 

[42N8Bounce]

With all the bricks we’re throwing up?

Hence the term ‘decent’.

 

[blazerkor]

This isn't some new concept, this team has given up big leads all season.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

We basically lost by 40

Certainly the second half. Yes

 

[riverman]

and you have geninuses in this thread giving each other high fives when i point our our defense has cratered without nurk.

we played one half of great defense

 

[blazerfan11]

The bad offense led to the bad defense.

 

[MickZagger]

We were up 23. How does this happen?

It’s happened several times this year.

 

[blazerkor]

The bad offense led to the bad defense.

The bad offense wasn't able to rescue our constantly bad defense.

 

[Freshtown]

I feel bad that I don’t feel bad about losing. I want a top 10 pick.

 

[twobullz]

Blazers scored more points in the first quarter then the entire second half. Not going to win many games only scoring 40 points in a half.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

What a pathetic 2nd half. How many times do we have to get flat out embarrassed by the Warriors like this? It’s a recurring nightmare

 

[Fairly-Hard]

What did we learn?
Blazers lack talent! This is pretty obvious when your backup PG is a guy named Keon Johnson.
It’s also pretty evident when your starting center is a guy named Drew Eubanks.

dafuq

they were missing curry AND wiggins. we were the more talented team on the floor tonight.

just overmatched in bbiq, and piss poor coaching. and we have very few guys who actually give a shit and do the dirty work because we traded away the one guy who did that stuff for an inefficient chucker.

Also very shorthanded.

Bingo!

It's a win win season...making or missing the playoffs....we haven't had a starting core identity all season

 

[BlazerBeav]

There is no question we have roster problems. But anyone who wants to see Lillard win here has to know Billups is not going to help that happen.

 

[Chris Craig]

dafuq

they were missing curry AND wiggins.

Always happens.

 

[OneSport3]

Giving up 20+ leads is one thing. Giving up 20+ leads and end up almost losing by 20 is next level.

You stopped there? Bravo.

 

[blazerfan11]

The offense is as much a problem as the defense.
