I think the real story here is that the game thread made it to eight pages (on my screen). Congratulations everyone!

I'll forgive this one if we win the next two.

Hey, look on the bright side, at least the offense is exciting to watch without Roy!!

81 points in a loss is still awesome to watch with such incredible motion.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Is that really the person we wanted shooting that?

Dallas played great defense on the last play, and Portland didn't do anything to get a real shooter open

 

[Nikolokolus]

Shit happens.

Miller is the best option. His entire career has been filled with clutch 3 pointers to win close games.

 

[B-Roy]

Shit happens.

It happens to often for the Blazers.

Great performance by LMA and Camby. Not so much everyone else.

I don't know if you are joking or not, but there was no motion tonight. They threw the ball into LA and stood around

 

[BlazerBeav]

How many late leads can this team blow? It's beyond frustrating.

 

[VenomXL]

It's pretty shocking we were even in this one with Wes having such a poor offensive outing. Any other night we probably would have been blown out.

Man, what 6 year old girl taught these guys how to set screens?

Hahahahahahaha!!! Great post.

 

[DUB]

Should've run a play for Mills

With Roy sitting, Mills is probably our clutchest 3pt shooter.

 

[PapaG]

I give Matthews a lot of credit for distributing the ball more than usual. His 2 assists in 42 minutes will actually increase his apg stats.

wtf does Miller have to do with anything? He wasn't even in the game on the last play.[video=youtube;iCaLjttPxVk]

 

[KingSpeed]

This team needs a buzzer beating game winning shot in the worst way.

 

[Sinobas]

Can we trade Nic Batum for a 3 that can hit a fucking 3pt shot? I've never seen a player drop 10% in FG% in one season. He can't penetrate, and can't shoot.

Patty Mills?

Hey mods, this is what is known as "baiting:"

[craigehlo]

50 days until the trade deadline.

 

[Nikolokolus]

That is not baiting IMO.

 

[RoyToy]

Pathetic.

Also, Wesley was trying way too hard to create tonight. I cringe at this point when he's putting the ball on the floor. It's not always pretty. Makes me miss Roy even more.

 

[MickZagger]

Since Roy was shut down for the season we've gone 6-3. I know its a tough pill to swallow for some, but I think the winning percentage speaks for itself.

Carry on, master baiters.

Considering you're using a 9 game stretch I'd argue you're the one that is baiting.

 

[craigehlo]

This team is too thin to have Batum and Rudy shoot so badly, particularly from 3, and expect to win.

 

[MickZagger]

Considering you're using a 9 game stretch I'd argue you're the one that is baiting.

I know you are, but what am I?

Lets see how the season plays out. I'm fairly certain were playing better ball than we were with the hobbled Roy taking contested jumpers and letting guys blow by him on the defensive end.

 

[MARIS61]

Hey mods, this is what is known as "baiting:"

Sarcasm maybe, but I see no bait.

 

[illmatic99]

That bullshit foul call that Stevenson flopped his way into to close out the first half was the difference in the final score. Damn.

Hey mods, is this what is known as "whining" and not addressing the topic of the thread, which was the game?
