This loss should feed the fire a little. I predict a win vs GS.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

That was fun not

3 point defense still needs work

 

[Phatguysrule]

Those were TERRIBLE no calls. The one at the top of the key was one of the more EASY offensive fouls to call. Refs JOBBED us on that play.

Just play defense and you don't give up the 3. If the ref calls it, great. If not, you don't give up 6pts by playing soft. We win the game.

 

[blazerkor]

Definitely didn't get slaughtered as someone in here said we would. We should have had that game. A little better shooting from Shae... or maybe they call that fucking push off from Edwards that ended up being a three for them.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Camara was terrible tonight. He got cooked on defense and did nothing on offense

 

[Irish Trader]

Biggest challenge for this team this year is closing the game and finding a closer

 

[blazerkor]

I’m out this team sucks

Not as bad as you suck as a fan.

I would punch Leon Woods face until it turned into spaghetti... My most hated official.

He's the BITCH that missed the call against Tyson Chandler when he slapped Pryzbilla's broken wrist. The TRAIL referee had to call it.

And, that's coming from a ref

 

[LayneStaley]

I think we will be better when Scoot is playing instead of Wesley. I like Wesley on D but the way Scoot was looking in the offseason I think he’s ready to step up.

 

[Chris Craig]

Shit, and we got the Warriors next. 0-2

 

[Phatguysrule]

This team does not have A GUY.

They have a ton of really really good second tier and third tier guys, but they do not have a star. They are losing right now because there isn't one single guy that you give the ball to. That used to be Dame. Maybe it can be Dame again, but right now it's certainly not Holiday... that has been brutal. Shae is shooting like shit tonight. Hopefully he could be that guy.

And it's probably not going to until we rebuild.

*Edit* unless maybe Yang turns us into a big market team?

What a foolish statement. Something a casual would say.

 

[PDXFonz]

These games build character and hold lessons to take away from though. Team fought hard the whole game and looked good until down the stretch when some looks just didn’t fall. Jrue will hit those open 3’s, just didn’t fall tonight.

 

[PDXFonz]

That was fun not

It was but it wasnt

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The good:

1. Defense looks good, team is playing hard.
2. DC's conditioning is much improved.

The bad:
1. I miss Dame.

Shit... I would take CJ in a time like that.

 

[blazerkor]

I think there are two ways that you could look at this game. One is that if Shaedon or Jrue would have been hitting the shots they should have we would have won. The other is if Jerami isn't lights out the we would have lost and it wouldn't have been close.

 

[HailBlazers]

Too many missed open looks down the stretch.

That was the game they were clutch.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

The stepping on the foot combined with the pushoff is hard to take. cost us 5 points.

 

[PDXFonz]

You clearly haven’t been following CJ since he left Portland.

 

[cdub503]

Loved the scrap in the guys. It was a fun game to watch. Off shooting night. Sucks it’s on the opener but even if any of the guys hits their average and we win. More good than bad imo. Only wish Hansen played a bit more.

 

[riverman]

The endgame is not our strong point. Can't go 5 minutes without scoring in the 4th qtr. Sharpe disappointed me in this one but Grant surprised me.

 

[Natebishop3]

Nah I was really more thinking about Blazer CJ lol

 

[Natebishop3]

How the hell were we winning this game....

They shot 48.8% from the field and 50% from three.....

We shot 40% from the field and 31% from three.......

Edit - nevermind... we made 10 more free throws than they did lol

I agree with you. But with Hansen on the floor you could tell things weren’t running smoothly. He needs time to keep learning and improving. He’s going to have to do things which make an impact to increase his playing time. Completely valid he got as few minutes as he did tonight.

 

[riverman]

Shit... I would take CJ in a time like that.

CJ had a team worst -19 +/- went 0-6 from deep, shot 28% from midrange...4 - 14..his game was butt ugly tonight with the Wiz. He scored 9 pts in 32 minutes.
