No...but James should have been double teamed. It doesn't matter if others make shots, you CAN'T let LeBron beat you, because if you let him go 1v1, he will.

He didn't beat us at the end of regulation.

James is a good enough passer that if you double-team him he'll kill you. All you can do is force him into tough shots. I think that Outlaw and the Blazers did that, for the most part, and you just have to tip your hat to him for hitting some nice (contested) running hook shots...

Ed O.
 
ROFL.

That backboard turnover pass by Mo Williams gave the Cavs 2 turnovers for the game, tying the record for least TOs in a game. However, if he had just held on the the ball, they would have beaten the record.
 
Why didnt we switch Outlaw off of Lebron? At least the one time when Roy was on him he had to work for his hook shot.
 
Good game tonight. I don't feel bad about how the Blazers played tonight.

IMO, there is no question about who is the best player in the NBA. LJ is a few notches above Kobe and the others.
 
Aldridge would have given us the consistent scorer we needed in the first half. The Cavs got us on the 4th game in 5 nights, missing two starters, at home and it still took a BS travelling call late to help them get to OT.
 
Man, I know Roy tried to get a 3 of at the end. Too bad he was on the line. You just knew going into OT was gonna be a killer for us. A win would've been great, but this is about as good of a loss that you can get. Im really satisfied with the way we played tonight down 2 starter, coming of a back to back and on national tv. Only a win would've made this better.
 
Even though we lost, I am proud of our Trail Blazers. E-standing ovation.....?
 
I would like to thank you guys.. I'm used to Olive after a loss :ohno::ohno::ohno::ohno::ohno::ohno::ohno::ohno::ohno::ohno:... And this is a refreshing thing.
 
Put Sergio in! :clap:

Good game.

We'll be ready come playoff time.

When he said Rodriguez shoots.. I almost flipped wondering why he was in.. then I noticed it was an error. :ohno:
 
what the fuck frye chucking up that long 3 that had no hope at the end.... and why the hell was he in on OT?
 
I can't be too upset with the outcome tonight. We didn't play well, but our defense was good, and we never gave up. I think it's safe to assume Nate told the guys to go for the win at the end of regulation, and I love the call. It's too bad Roy was a half step inside the line or else we would have won it without having to go to OT.

Lets take care of business on Saturday!
 
Maybe if we play like this more often on the road, HCA isn't 100% needed for us to advance past the first round.
 
im not mad at all either but fuck.... i hate the way frye plays for a PF/C it drives me ape shit

I'm tired of his crappy rebounding skills. It's like his hands have the same magnetic polarization as the basketball, repelling the ball away whenever a rebound comes within his grasp. That's the most annoying thing that I notice about Frye each game. There's always one to three instances where a ball comes off the hoop and is right there in front of his face or above his head, and Frye either fumbles it or lets the other team outhustle him. If it was Greg or Joel in those situations, the ball would've been secured, but with Frye, it's like he's waiting for the ball to jump into his hands.

I know but the way it goes in there.. about half the people honestly expect to go 82-0 and any loss is Nate's fault. But there are some really cool people in there as well.
 
I just don't understand why Greg didn't get to use his 6th foul? He's the only guy on our team that LeBron can't overpower. He should have been on the court either late in regulation or OT. If he fouls out, so fucking what?

Too much pain/stiffness in the knee? :dunno:
 
I'm more proud of this team than I have been all season. Forget the fact we didn't win. We had every excuse to roll over and just give this one up and instead we BATTLED. We made the game ugly, played physically and never gave up.

I can't recall a game we've played that personified more the way Nate played in the NBA. He has to be as happy as one can be with a loss.

Repped.
 
We were at the game... almost stole that one. I thought they would after forcing overtime. The guys really did play tough. Trav and Brandon did a good job on LeBron. Very few Blazer fans there, but there were a few. I'm proud of our team. As others have said, they could have been steam-rolled, but they showed heart and fight tonight. We saw them boarding the bus and cheered them on to BEAT MILWAUKEE!!

Nice to finally "see" you HCP!

I was proud of our effort, but we absolutely HAVE TO beat Milwaukie now.
 
Mmm. More Oden please. I'm so pleasantly surprised by how well he's playing coming off 3-4 weeks of inactivation.

I posted the same thing in another thread. It's not like he can roll over the foul to the next game!

We are not longer playing just to make the playoffs, we're playing to for HCA now. Going 3-2 on this road trip help us along that objective. Great effort tonite, but if we don't duplicate the effort against the Bucks it all for not.
