The Blazers don't even put up a fight on the road. This is unacceptable in most organizations but Nate and KP seem to be cool with being blown out away from the Rose Garden.

Are you serious?

Dude, you turned off the game too early. :tsktsk:
 
Whoa. Paul dribbled between Terry's legs on the fast break? Amazing.

I know. The Blazers almost ALWAYS "put up a fight" on the road. We get down big but we almost always come back and get within 3 or 4 with a couple minutes to go.
 
I come on to read the game thread posts and guess we have another fucking troll. I haven't seen our main troll in a while but now we have another poster that doesn't know shit but thinks he does. Fuck this! :sigh::sigh:

We are a jimmy joke on the road. This team doesn't know how to play defense away from the Rose Garden and can't impose their style of play on any legit team in the West.

Did you miss the second quarter? We played great defense.

We're 13-17 on the road. Last year, we were 13-28. We're making improvement. Be patient.

Last year, the top two teams in the NW division each won 17 road games.

I know. We only have to go 4-7 the rest of the way to do that.

I meant that for others, I just used your quote to leap frog into the conversation.

Care to elaborate then? The reason KP didn't make a trade at the deadline was because he though the RLEC would be more valuable this summer. With the RLEC off our own books, we are going to be about 6-8 million under the cap and that gives us even more flexibility when making trades this summer. Not to mention the TE we got from Diogu, and Blake and Outlaw's expiring contracts. And teams are going to want to do a deal this summer. During the year some teams think they still have a chance, so players like Caron can become avaliable over the summer. KP said he wouldn't mortgage our future for a better shot this year, and I think we have enough to get into the playoffs this year, and with the cap space this offseason, add another piece at a discount price this offseason that can push us even farther. All we need, and should be the goal this season, is playoff experience.

Not trading makes a lot of sense, you just got to take a step back to look at it.
 
Nate said a 9 point deficit is "not bad."

"We're gonna win the third quarter. Then we're gonna win the 4th quarter."

The Nuggets missing open jumpers isn't great defense. And our offense is horrendous in the Pepsi Center.

They weren't open jumpers. We contested them and we took care of the defensive glass, thank you Joel.
 
Portland had a good chance to win on a back to back road game, as Denver is way overrated at this point, but J.R. Smith getting the start over Dahntay Jones (lol that Jones ever starts) and extra playing time for Smith made it very unlikely. Plus, C Anthony is using your defense to offset some bad games.

So even if you keep Billups down, you are likely to lose because both Smith and Anthony are on the loose, which due to Karl hardly ever happens.

Oh well, you still have time to finish ahead of the Nuggets.

Update: Just saw Nate at the half, he's rallying your players very well, so I guess you still have a chance, but only if Smith or Anthony go cold. You can't win if both Smith and Anthony have great nights.

Not making a trade has put our playoff chances in jeopardy and virtually guaranteed us a 1st round and out if we do make it.

If KP can land us Prince in the Summer, all is forgiven. I highly doubt that will happen though.
 
Why do they keep calling travelling on all our guys?
 
Joel is playing great. He is hustling, getting to a lot of loose balls.
 
Our FT shooting sucks tonight.

Like I said. Making the playoffs was all the goal was this year. And we still have 4.5 games up on PHX for the 8th spot. You need to take a fucking chill pill dude.
