[The Professional Fan]

LMA!

 

[ucatchtrout]

the nba is where amazing happens

 

[Rodolfo]

this is gonna' take some big defensive stops right now..

 

[Sedatedfork]

Need some TO's.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Need both, Greg.......nice.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Brandon's made some bad decisions this evening.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Going to need a ton of help now.

 

[RoyToy]

How many times is Aldridge going to get burned by Randolph

 

[Nikolokolus]

Nice effort, but as I said, looks like too little too late.

 

[B-Roy]

Giving it to Aldridge when Martell could have hit a three...UGH

 

[mgb]

Clutch steal and basket by ZBO.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Tinsley has been huge for Memphis tonight.

 

[julius]

Post-game will be a night of cliches.

"We gotta play for 48 minutes"
"we need go give effort on both ends!"
"they wanted it more"

 

[RoyToy]

Aldridge has been severely outplayed by Zach tonight

 

[Mediocre Man]

Throw the fucking ball to Oden.

 

[Natebishop3]

So much for our vaunted defense...

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Sigh.. can't throw the ball into Greg after taking him out.

 

[Rodolfo]

that'll do it...damn.

 

[Sinobas]

Brandon has not been clutch at all this year. All the magic from last year is gone.

 

[julius]

two losses that are huge red flags:

Golden State and Memphis at home.

 

[illmatic99]

Pathetic.

 

[Driew]

Gotta give it to Memphis--they played a solid game. Time to regroup and beat Utah.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I am happy to see Nate keeping Oden's minutes under 30 AGAIN. He will be so sharp for the playoffs.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

I'm not on a "bandwagon" you little smart ass, I followed the team through all the bad years.

You said it I just commented. Losing games to crap teams is going to happen it's a lonnnnnng season.

Btw I'm not little unless you call 6'4" 210 lbs little and yes I know you have followed the team for years.

 

[Sedatedfork]

There is only one way to get our revenge now. Time to sue Memphis for signing and playing Darius Miles.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Post-game will be a night of cliches.

"We gotta play for 48 minutes"
"we need go give effort on both ends!"
"they wanted it more"

Don't for get "Both teams played hard".

Well, maybe not in the first half.

Gramps...

 

[FeloniusThunk]

So much for our vaunted defense...

If the defense had actually been good the second half or even last quarter, they could have had this. Non-existent in one half and just okay in the the other is no way to get out of that ridiculous hole, though. Ugh. I would have thought the GS game shaming enough, but what an egg was laid tonight.

 

[Blazer_Hippie]

I'm glad I missed most of this game...

 

[B-Roy]

Yo, Brandon, wake up. It's your team, now start taking control of it.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Unfortunately it looks to my eyes that the Blazers are still struggling mightily with their identity (are we a perimeter team, are we a slow team, are we an inside-out team, etc?) and Nate's substitution patterns and usage of Oden are almost borderline psycho, also Steve Blake not hitting any shots is brutal to watch, and even when he is hitting shots he's nothing special.

This team needs to consolidate some of their talent and get some kind of clue when it comes to what it is that they want to do when they are on the court.
