Blazers vs Kings - Game thread!

[VenomXL]

Oh my fucking God.

 

[Rhal]

I think that Turnover by Mathews has sealed the deal.

 

[illmatic99]

SMH. Feed the hot hand. Nic is on fire and is calling for the ball, but Dre and Wes are trying to do it on their own.

 

[VenomXL]

We need a stop here in the worst way.

 

[B-Roy]

Sad. Matthews hesitated on the shot and then turned it over.

 

[B-Roy]

This one is bad. It's gonna sting for awhile.

 

[VenomXL]

I can't believe we just lost to the Kings at home. What a total buzzkill.

We get Boston next. Yay!

 

[illmatic99]

Fuck. Look at Dre wave at Evan instead of putting a hand up and actually contesting him.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Well this sucks! But we'll come bounce back on Thursday & beat the Celtics & forget about this loss.

I'm sure Mixum is all smiles tonight.

 

[VenomXL]

I'm pissed. What a crap performance.

Oh well. There's always next game.

 

[B-Roy]

Well this sucks! But we'll come bounce back on Thursday & beat the Celtics & forget about this loss.

Portland has been streaky all seasons.

Win 5

Lose 4

Win 3

Lose 4

etc.

I have a feeling we're gonna see L4 in the next couple of games.

 

[KingSpeed]

We'll still win this one

 

[KingSpeed]

Or not

 

[julius]

They've been outplayed, outhustled, and out smarted by the shittiest team in the western conference. If that's not proof positive they looked past the Kings to the Celtics, nothing is.

There's nothing positive to take out of this, whatsoever. No "well, they're injured and are still 4 games above .500" or "Lamarcus was due a bad game" or "Andre held it in all game".

This should be a loss they feel embarrassed by, insulted by, and apologize for. It was team unprepared to play, with only lame excuses for the loss.

 

[VenomXL]

81 points against the fucking Kings.

 

[Rhal]

Tough loss, all I can say about this game.

 

[KingSpeed]

After we win at least 4 games in a row, I'm fine with a loss. Can't win em all. Go Blazers.

 

[VenomXL]

Where's the booze?

Take care guys.

 

[illmatic99]

Bad loss.

 

[MIXUM]

this is a bad bad loss

 

[MIXUM]

look at the memphis schedule and then look at ours. not good.

 

[BlazerBeav]

After we win at least 4 games in a row, I'm fine with a loss. Can't win em all. Go Blazers.

Can't be fine with a home loss to the last place team in the West - ever. They had won here 16 times in 90 attempts - including when there were battling for the conference title and we were a mess.

 

[Darkwebs]

It felt like we were climbing uphill since the beginning of the game. It seemed everytime we made it near or at the top, we would slip and have to go back up the hill again. Unfortunately, we never made it over the hump

 

[B-Roy]

This should be a loss they feel embarrassed by, insulted by, and apologize for. It was team unprepared to play, with only lame excuses for the loss.

They're deficient of talent, especially in the front court. I'm not going to give excuses for Aldridge, because he definitely missed a ton of easy shots and made terrible mistakes. However, I'm not surprised by it. With Camby out, he's going to be ridden 40+ a night. Nate simply can't go stretches with Cunningham and Joel playing big minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if LMA had more games like this as long as Camby is out.

 

[illmatic99]

Was the crowd seriously booing? SMH.

It's not like the team laid out and didn't play hard.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Did that look like playing hard to you? 20 turnovers? Sorry, not buying it.

Can't lose 4 in two games.

It happens to everybody. Even championship teams have losses to crappy teams. It sucks but you move on. We're only two games worse than where we were last season. That's amazing considering all of the injuries. And Aldridge just won player of the week. I'm not gonna let one loss get me down. What you do is up to you. Go Blazers!

 

[KingSpeed]

You can play hard and still have 20 turnovers. In fact, turnovers often come from trying TOO hard.

 

[MIXUM]

speed with the uPcoming schedule....

that is a devastating loss.

 

[BlazerBeav]

You can play hard and still have 20 turnovers. In fact, turnovers often come from trying TOO hard.

Turnovers come from being lazy and/or impatient. Neither is an example of effort.
