Frustrating
We need a PG so bad.

A PG doesn’t explain the horrible defense against a bad, old basketball team.

 

[KingSpeed]

Also you think after he has hit what like 5 or 6 or more 3's that they would know ...

to stay the HELL on Lopez and stop letting him get clean looks -- damn

9 -- if he hits a 10th the player on him should be benched and fined -- PERIOD ( if it's wide open )

The player on him? Don’t you mean the player(s) not on him?

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Camara is a solid scorer when he has 2 ( or more ) other scorers who can help him get cleaner looks but he is not a shot creator so unless it's a open 3 he is average at best on the offensive end.

 

[julius]

We need the Mike Barrett school of excuses after tonight.

It's the day after Christmas!

It's the 3rd home game after a long road trip, that almost feels like a road game!

Seriously though, this is kind of pathetic.

 

[Chris Craig]

The player on him? Don’t you mean the player(s) not on him?

He means the player that should be guarding him, i.e. Clingan or Murray

 

[julius]

This team really has to stop playing down to their opponents, and in most cases, playing significantly worse than their opponents (who are "worse").

 

[Cugel]

thanks for bricking another 3, Tou

Look at the talent on the floor and not the record I beg of you

Um Jrue is all Defense. He would help. Tisse too.

 

[BlazerBeav]

This homestand was what Blazer media kept point to as our chance to get going and get guys back. Neither is close to happening.

 

[Cugel]

28 points in the second half. you cant make up this kind of comedy

 

[BlazerBeav]

Um Jrue is all Defense. He would help. Tisse too.

They’d have left Lopez wide open too - since that was clearly being done by design.

 

[Chris Craig]

Never seen a more incapable team

That excuse can't only take you so far.

They finally guarded him...and he missed

They've been embarrassing at home this year. Injuries and youth or not, the effort and smart play just isn't there.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Leaving Lopez initially - ok, give to a try. To never adjust while he lit us up all night? Unforgivable.

 

[KingSpeed]

We’re so bad at home this year.

 

[Cugel]

I am on the #trade_Toumani train.

 

[julius]

You'd think the Blazers were the team that is 8-21.

 

[B-Roy]

They would be worse if this was their roster the whole season

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I am done --- King please learn to read and this team should just take every loss they can until they get healthy cause this team is a joke and i am not even sure who to put the blame on at this point cause I think it's too many to name.

 

[Cugel]

Look if you cant stop 80y/o Brook Lopez from launching uncontested 3s, you have a lot of issues up and down the bench.

 

[julius]

It's not that they're losing, it's *how* they're losing.

It's not like they're the only team with players missing.

 

[Chris Craig]

Deni is no star. Not yet. He is a proto star. He has been called a star and unfortunately it's gone to his head.

Watch their next game, he won't make one three pointer

Yep. Their roster is definitely better than ours when we’re missing Jrue, Tisse, Wesley, Grant etc.

 

[Chris Craig]

No, team is missing as many players or for as long as the Blazers are.

 

[PCmor7]

That was some abysmal 2H shooting.

Shaedon didn't get to the line and got blocked two more times. I hope something clicks for him where he starts to value drawing contact, because there's no reason a player with his skills and athleticism and usage should be getting blocked as much as he does and getting to the line less than five times per game.

 

[KingSpeed]

Deni is no star. Not yet. He is a proto star. He has been called a star and unfortunately it's gone to his head.

He’s playing out of position and had 29/9/9 tonight. Without him, we’d be the worst team in the league.
