Is it the same tv guy for this game ?

answer: no . It's back to the regular guy.
 
This season, Miami's engine is performing on half its cylinders. It's not just Butler. Rozier has nosedived. Jaquez and Bam are less effective. Riley has gone senile. We can win this.

Miami has won its last two games.
 
The radio guy says this starting lineup for the Blazers has only played 4 minutes together this season.
 
No minutes for Rupert? :/

Banton and scoot and Simons instead.
 
Nobody can make a thing tonight.
 
Chauncey’s rotations make zero sense to me
 
Tyler Herro is very fun and very good
 
How does Billups still have a job ? -- NM -- were tanking without it being super obvious like it's been the past couple seasons.


Cronin and / or ownership is either clueless or more likely do not care as long as the team makes some money and keeps the fans coming in.

We are in dark days as Blazer fans and if some fans are still behind Cronin and co. then i have some ocean front property to sell to you really cheap in Montana .

We fans need to stand up and boycott this team or something cause we have to force this front offices hands at some point or they will continue to walk over this fan base -- time to say enough is enough. --
 
I hate to see us get outhustled like this, especially at home. Our effort is so uneven in the Chauncey Era.

Our offense is so lazy. Billups' famous no-pass offense. Just dribble around and shoot with the occasional poorly executed pick and roll.

And then the defense. Ugh. We can't guard the 3-point line, but I guess it's understandable with the Heat breaking out those never-before-seen screens ... jk, obviously, we just have no clue how we want to play them and then we get caught out of position and the Heat, no matter what personnel they have on the floor, make open shots.

I'd really like to see more of other people on Chauncey's staff coaching this team, because his approach is blech.
 
Halftime, 16 down. Miami has more physical energy than us. But the big difference is mental energy. We aren't anticipating. Was there a drunken party last night?

This season, Miami's engine is performing on half its cylinders. It's not just Butler. Rozier has nosedived. Jaquez and Bam are less effective. Riley has gone senile. We can win this.

I see that I should add, "and Spoelstra has grown a double chin."
 
The only good news is that they outfouled us 10-4.
 
No Ayton tonight, so the team isn't mentally motivated. Welcome to the brave new world if we trade Ayton. Many 60-point losses.
 
It's getting to the point where the only time you want to see Clingan touching the basketball is when he's blocking a shot. Now he's not just losing the rebounds, he's scoring putbacks for the other team.

I’ll bet you would be hard pressed to find a center that has not done that at least once.
 
what exactly is billups' offense? guys just going one on 5 every possession.

games like this make it more obvious how basic chauncey is.
 
Mentally lazy. This will not be a good loss, because we came out with no energy of any kind. We played dumb.

Yeah, it's worthless for development. We could still be a lottery team and develop good habits. This franchise's approach right now is just to lose. Nothing else. Just lose.
 
A most frustrating situation for a fan. I just want to see a ray of light from this organization now and then. But there is no way this team makes the post season in less than 5 years. Nfw. There aren’t enough draft picks for Joe to acquire the necessary talent by 2030.

POR = WAS = DET from a few years ago.

The idea of a quick rebuild was utter bullshit. POR is clearly the worst org in the west and it ain’t close.

until I see otherwise the Vulcans, Cronin, and Billups don’t have the answers
 
Awful spacing. Awful ball movement.

I have no idea what our offense intends to be. It looks like a bad version of 2000 style.
