That hard nosed Suns defense kept our best player from getting the ball in the clutch.

What a bummer, oh well, time to do something else.

I can't believe they took so long to take a shot. Force Miller to take a shot. At least he was smart enough to put it up.

Are you kidding? You thought it was a good idea for him to rush a long three (he was 0-4 so far from downtown) with 10 seconds left on the clock?

We didn't take a big enough lead.

WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH MILLER SHOOTING FIVE THREES? Fuck me.

A lot of that has to do with other players giving him the ball with either 3 secs left on the clock or at the end of the game when he had to take a shot to save some time. I agree with you that's ridiculous, but it's the players that don't take the shot and instead throw it to him with no time left on the clock.
 
He.. rushed a three? They stood around for 8 seconds and wasted valuable time. Miller's shot selection was necessary, the 8 seconds the team spent before he had to take it was.. not so much.
 
Look guys. We had our chance to blow this out in the third but we were sloppy and missed easy opportunities (Martell's wide open dunk?). When the Suns looked up at the scoreboard after shooting less than 20% from the field in the third quarter and saw that they were only down 4, they knew they could win the game. And they did.

with 10 secs left in the GAME! sheesh. LA should have took the shot and not made him do it. Think for a min!

Kept us from getting the ball to Roy? Did we really want to get the ball to Roy the way he was shooting? Roy's bad game is what just lost this one.

Your down by 4. You HAVE to make a three and still have enough time to foul them and get the ball back across the line with enough time to shoot another three to try and tie it... if he had passed it there wouldnt' have been enough time.

Exactly! Man, it's so simple I can't believe people don't see it.
 
And this is what happens when you change your game plan from a team game, to a Roy game going 1 on 5. It has never worked out this season. This is not a TEAM in the 4th quarter, it's just Brandon Roy and 4 other players. I don't know when McMillan is going to learn that. Sucks for us fans because it was the team game that was winning us the game when Roy was horrid, why fuck with that? Ask your coach.
 
Tough loss. The Blazers did everything they needed to defensively, but they're just flat out not going to win against the better teams in the league with Brandon and LaMarcus looking like brick masons from the field.

Well, part of it is that they're used to playing with Blake who could make those. But not all of them were at the end of the shotclock. The second to last one he shot, he shot very early in the shotclock out of nowhere for no good reason. Bad second half by Miller.
 
Hell, that 3 wouldn't have tied the game. They still needed another one if the other team made their FTs.

We were horrid in the third too.

Horrible argument. 3rd > 4th. Plain and simple. The Roy dominating the ball game plan in the 4th quarter keeps getting us losses when we've been winning the rest of the game. Who do I want with the ball? Andre Miller > Brandon Roy.
 
Roy going 8-25 is what killed the Blazers the most. Batum going Martell on us hurt as well.

BS. It's not college. You can take the ball out of bounds at midcourt. And you don't need more than 2 seconds to hit a game tying three.
 
I've said my peace about this game. Sucks we lost but we've still won 8 of our last 10. Looking forward to our next game. We have three full days off to work on things we learned from this last game.. Playing the new look Mavs at home on Thursday. A team we could end up playing in the first round. Let's go get it!

Go Blazers!!

Time off doesn't seem to help our offense...
 
I hope these last two games from Roy piss him off to the point he turns into the guy that averages 28pts on 50% shooting like he was earlier this season. The whole team as well should be pissed that they let this game slip away.

Hopefully this game can fuel them going forward. I like the Blazers chances against the Mavericks on Thursday.
 
Phoenix is a pretty damn good team, and it was on their court.

Can't win 'em all I say.

Our offense is fine, we just need to play the game like we play the first 3 quarters. If we can tell McMillan that the 4th quarter is really just the 2nd or 3rd quarter. We'll be fine. We keep losing when it becomes Roy+4 players in the 4th. We don't play the team game in the 4th quarter.
 
Every new game just tells me that Aldridge is never going to be that consistent 2nd option. He'll be a nice role player on a good team but just isn't a go to player. He's a slightly better Joe Smith.

KP, the writing is on the wall. I don't care what you do, kill somebody I wont tell, just find a way to bring in Bosh.
