Didn't expect a blow out. Damn
 
How many times have the Spurs done that backdoor baseline cut?

I think I'm going to stay away from game threads for awhile. A bunch melodramatic babies in here.

Spurs are undefeated at home for a reason.

Yep. Spurs are a damn good team. But our teams execution didn't hurt their chances at all.

Reminds me of the old John McKay quote when asked what he thought of his teams execution, and he said "I'm all for it"
 
I'd be satisfied with a 4-2 road trip

We must win tomorrow to salvage this road trip.

We definitely had the edge to start the game, but between Camby going down and the refts blowing, literally....

spurs played hard but got a lot of help, from the Refs and the Blazers
 
Ive said it before, and I'll say it again. For a coach who is supposed to be a defensive minded coach, these Blazer teams sure are some shitty defensive teams. Pick N Rolls, three point shooters...its like they're allergic to them.

I wonder how long before Nate completely goes away from the "fast tempo" offense because its "not working". Not that they haven't already made the turn towards Nate ball anyways.

satisfied? Hell, I'd be flat out amazed if they won 4 games on this trip. It would be a miracle.

Exactly. I can't count how many positions they dribbled the ball around the perimeter and didn't look to get the ball into the paint until 5-7 seconds left on the shot clock.

Totally.

Well, I'm going to go cheer for the Heat to beat the Nuggets.
 
I wish we could see more of Nolan, if Brickton and Brickford keep missing shots
 
If only we could trade Felton and Crawful for Dre and Rudy.

sigh.
 
Congrats to San Antonio to finally getting their first home win of the season!

WTF do you expect us to do? "OH, GOOD TRY, BLAZERS! *CLAP CLAP CLAP* YOU MAY NOT BE VERY GOOD, BUT GOSH DARNIT, YOU SURE ARE A BUNCH OF SWELL GUYS! I KNOW YOU'LL GIVE IT YOUR VERY BEST IN THE NEXT GAME! HEY, WHO WANTS SOME ICE CREAM?"

Blazers aren't very good? Ask the Thunder, Clippers, Lakers, Nuggets and Sixers how good we are. We were playing the Spurs in their house where they haven't lost all year and things were just going their way, loose balls, long rebounds, etc.... Chalk it up as a loss. Boo-hoo. Losing sucks, sure. This is a strange shortened season and things are going to happen that make you scratch your head. The Lakers and Mavs started out horrendously. The dream team of Miami is getting worked on their west coast road trip.

Now take a second, breathe, maybe take some Excedrin....

We have a chance to redeem ourselves tomorrow and then this bipolar board will be jumping in jubilation again.

Passionate fans are awesome, but level-headed passionate fans are sure hard to come by around here.

Miami getting their tail whipped again, this time in Denver. I'm sure there's mass hysteria in Miami. Heat fans are doing excessive lines of blow, jumping off bridges in unison and banding together on message boards to peck away in all CAPS in their disgust.

Disband that disgraceful team!!!

If Portland would've made a trip to the finals last year, I'm sure your analogy would be on par.

There's more emotion during an actual game.

And trust me, this board is a lot more tame than some of the other teams forums out there.
 
How to bankrupt Paul Allen.

1. Trade for an entire NBA All-Star team. Spend all your money.
2. Watch McMillan teach them anemic offense and defense.
3. Watch great shooters become poor shooters.
4. Watch great leapers become weak rebounders.
5. Watch great inside players have to shoot outside.
6. Watch the team be over .500 so hey, it could be worse.
7. Lose to teams with far worse talent.
8. Give McMillan another contract because, you see anyone better?
 
Damn. I arrived just in time for the meltdown.

Here's the thing: we almost certainly aren't as bad as we looked in that 4th. And we almost certainly aren't as good as our early record indicated. We are what we are -- a good, but not elite team. If our big pieces stay healthy, we will contend for a decent playoff spot and maybe make some noise, but we are no juggernaut that's going to march through road trips unscathed.

The Spurs are seasoned vets, at home, with the most rock solid coach in professional sports. We could lose to a lot worse.

Whats the difference?

Miami has lower standards because they happened to make the finals the year before? If anything it should be more depressing to be getting their ass handed to them on the westcoast trip.

A couple games and this place was talking finals and shit. Not realistic. Setting yourself up for disappointment.

Today they're zero's, tomorrow they're heroes.
 
I told you guys, this will not be a very good road team. We've really been playing some stretches of bad basketball lately though. Seems we've abandoned that fast paced idea and have gone back to pounding it. Crawford and Felton are shit.

What can you say? Teams are shooting a high % because we're giving up layups and wide open 3 pointers. On the other end, our shots look more contested.

Also, the refs seem to hate us. They call us for traveling all the time, and never call the other team. Mess up out of bounds calls, call us for shit when the other player wasn't touched, let guys run into our players on shots. Not the reason we lost today, but the refs have been screwing us, as usual.
