You don't throw away 18 point lead because of refs. Refs did not miss shots, turn ball over, brick free throws.

Yeah the refs only fucked us over for about 6 points, our guys and Denver did the rest. I still think that means we get out of there with a regulation win if the refs don't make those calls but our guys have a lot to answer for and got dominated in OT.
 
Not upset about the loss. Expected them to get their asses beat, but they didn't. Sure, they lost a big lead in 12 minutes, but they're still punching well above their weight class. Proud of the fight in the team.

Hopefully it pays off in a high lotto pick.

Because if they DO make the playoffs, the only way I won't consider that an absolute waste is if they upset the #1 or #2 seed in the first round (which won't happen).
 
that was a good game...fun game to watch. Too bad good guys couldn't get it done. I wonder how many times Portland has lost when they've made more than 20 three's while shooting over 45% on them

I was surprised how much time Denver had Braun trying to guard Deni. That was a mismatch for the Blazers. I was expecting Gordon on Deni most of the time; or Johnson. Braun is too small

over the last 8 games, Toumani is 34-64 on three's. That's 53.1%. Jrue had 11 assists vs 0 turnovers

is the Jokic/Murray 2-man game as good as Stockton/Malone? I think it may be

I think with Grant and Sharpe both out, we don't really have any scoring coming off the bench and so especially in a game in Denver, starters get really tired.

Could really use Caleb right about now. Could slide Jrue for a few minutes at the three.
 
Tough loss, but not a bad loss. Portland is a good team, but there is no depth right now. Maybe we will get lucky in the lottery……

And, they were on a run. We were bleeding points. They had to keep subbing Rob in because Clingan couldn't do shit. Kept leaving guys wide open. From what I saw we stymied their runs every time Rob came back in. Clingan was so lost, he kept looking at Tiago and asking what to do.

Yeah, teams (especially good teams at home) go on runs. The Blazers were up 14 at the end of 3. They were up 12 after 5 minutes of the 4th when Clingan checked out. They bled 2 points (5 points from the biggest lead) overall in the quarter. Over the next 7 minutes, after Clingan was subbed out, they bled 12 points. So this was Clingan being a problem? Just an odd game to go after DC on, even if you have a bias you want to lean on.

No depth? I beg to differ. We maybe have less depth with Grant, Krecji, Sharpe and Lillard out, but with them, I think we are one of the deepest teams. If we had Grant last night, that would have upped our defense and offense quite a bit. And if the league/refs weren't crooked and didn't hand the game to the Juggets (pronounced: Yuggets); insane how vital to the team that brain-beast is.

Camara fouling out was huge. and could have been the difference. He was 8-13 on three-pointers.
If he's shooting like that, he's got to take it a notch down on defense.
It's a learning game.

The foul they called on him was brutal.

He got sandwiched by two Nuggets on the FT, Braun stuck his knee up Toumani's rear end to try to subtly ride him out of position ... then Jokic comes in over his back and they call a foul on Toumani for the typical hand-fighting you see on almost every contested rebound.

Just a brutal call to make with the game on the line for a player's sixth foul.

Jamal Murray got away with two fouls that were a lot more clear than that in the game and laughed about it because he knew it.
 
I've never understood why they bring up "so and so team hasn't won in such and such place since 1933!"

Like, there is not a single active Blazer player who was on the roster when the team last won in Denver in the regular season. Hell, there's not a single active Blazer player on the roster that was on the team the last time they beat Denver in Denver at all.

And even if you counted Damian, that means 1 player was on that team that is currently on that team.

Splitter should not let Deni run his challenges.

Apparently, drama is entertaining.

I do...we had those bragging rights over the Lakers for a long time. Also playing at altitude is tough for the road team. Denver is a tough win and I think that was the point the radio guys were making.

So with them out, we have no depth, which you disagree with?

Kobe was on most of those laker teams tho.
 
Always tough to watch Denver run same offensive set over and over at end of games and not see an adjustment from coach. I also didn’t like the top of key screen with Deni, team would instantly trap him then we had to scramble to get him ball back or watch other players try and create a shot which they aren’t good at. I’m a Splitter fan but definitely still has a way to go to be one of the elite coaches. I think Dundon will go about trimming things that cost us losses. I’m guessing Splitter probably cost us 3-5 wins, Dundon brings in elite coach and that’s at least 5 or more wins next year. No knock on Splitter, like anything you don’t know what you haven’t experienced

On side note I really think we’ve seen last of Sharpe as a Blazer (my favorite Blazer on this years team) I think Dundon makes a big trade and Sharpe is most likely odd guy out.

I thought about that today. He was on the bench again last night. And I believe he is eligible to play every remining game of the season. It's a little puzzling why he has not been playing.
