Can't stop doing this. Make wide open shots and get high percentage looks on the break or early in possessions.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Looking good to start the 2nd half!

 

[BBert]

The Blazers cannot rebound , block out , defend , shoot , run a good offense or defense but let's blame the refs. Now I will give you the refs do make it tougher at times for the Blazers

I get tired of this. And I'm not just picking on you. No one blames refs for Blazers mistakes and Blazers bad play. People do often point out obvious ref mistakes and bad officiating. We comment on what we see. And, there are magnitudes more comments on this board pointing out Blazers mistakes than ref mistakes. I don't understand how that gets perceived as blaming refs for our own shortcomings as if refs have no impact on the game.

Why aren't they looking for Scoot on the 3-point line?

 

[Quatro44]

Turnovers

 

[julius]

With these turnovers after getting down by 2...are we sure they're not in on the take?

 

[Chris Craig]

Tiago needs to get his center under control

 

[Labinot41]

Clingan reminds me of soft Nurkic

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Well for a veteran who makes $35 million a year, should we not expect more out him? Then turnovers and fouls. He did hit one three, that's great, but he has effected this team negatively.

It is literally one game. Wasn't even halfway through the 2nd quarter. Patience. The spurs are the 2nd best team in the league. It doesnt make him a bum if he is struggling in one game.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Jrue has us clicking!

Nah, it already was decided he was a bum because he had a bad first half.

 

[Chris Craig]

Sit Clingans useless ass down

 

[julius]

The only time a 7'2" dude should be blocked by someone much shorter than him is when he's in the later stages of his career or it's some athletic freak like Nate Robinson.

 

[Quatro44]

Spurs winning without Wemby

He's been playing that way all season and last season. He got paid, and then with Tiago there is no accountability

 

[AldoTrapani]

You see why the lottery pick would have been better

Yeah, it's embarrassing

 

[Chris Craig]

We clearly need the experience

 

[blazerfan11]

What the hell. Blazers have no idea who to get the ball to. Of course Camara is open. I'd leave him open too.

Try to get Scoot on a catch-and-shoot, or Jrue.

Yes, there is more than enough blame to go around.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Clingan is not a playoff player. We will learn that soon enough

 

[riverman]

Can't keep diggin' holes against this team

 

[Chris Craig]

We need to get shooters this off-season. Need to get rid of Grant badly. God, that fucking contract.

 

[Chris Craig]

Clingan is not a playoff player. We will learn that soon enough

He's not being played right. He's not being told what to correctly do.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

It was nice while it lasted ( the comeback ) but reality is coming back to bite this team in the ass.

 

[blazerfan11]

Spurs winning without Wemby

They've been good without Wemby during the season.

 

[julius]

"Avdjia hasn't taken a shot in this half"

literally 1 play after he scored a basket...

 

[Dom McBlazer]

You see why the lottery pick would have been better

No. Playoff experience > lottery pick.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Nah, it already was decided he was a bum because he had a bad first half.

Nah, he was a money and win sink long before this game.

 

[Phatguysrule]

We clearly need the experience

I don't think experience is the difference in this game...

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow Shaedon Sharpe has no handles whatsoever. It’s why he settles for that fallaway 3pt shot when he can’t create separation lol
