What a fucking stupid post.

I rest my case.

 

[Rhal]

27.1% from 3 with Dame shooting 0 FT's. Not going to win many games like that. We'v had a lot of close losses this season and the way we started this game we'v started a lot of games like recently, almost as if we expect to be able to compete without giving it our all right off the bat. Thats not going to fly, we aren't the warriors we won early by out hustling the other teams. WE need to get back into that thought process or we are goign to be very quickly looking ouside in at the playoffs.

what a stupid fucking game

 

[Jade Falcon]

I can't blame the play. What I can blame is not getting the ball to someone BESIDES Dame and CJ. All Denver had to do was game plan around those two for that play.

Sauce? Aminu? Meyers? Anyone else?

Nope. Went with the predictable Dame and CJ.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Silver Lining; My prediction in @Orion Bailey's Prediction thread for Wins/Losses is going exactly as I thought it would.

Tough Loss though.

#GoBlazers!

Meh that was the right play at the end.

But still, too dependent on Dame and CJ. Staggering minutes again because god forbid putting trust in anyone else. We could have Otto Porter, or any other wing, and it wouldn’t matter. In the end they’d be standing in the corner like the rest of em.

CJ was great in that Game, but i knew he would miss that shot. Damian was totally disappointing, when the pressure on him gets bigger, like double Teams, he's lost. We saw it in the Playoffs

Should've dressed Simons or Trentjr for this very reason.
Talk about unpredictable. Lets let Simons or Trentjr iso with 6s left.

Didn't we used to be one of the best teams in the NBA at running other teams off the three point line? What happened?

Except CJ, the hottest player on the court, got a wide open shot...

How the fuck did Thunder start 0-4 and all the sudden have 2 less losses than us ? Lol

Team probably just got bored

Blazers down to 7th in the west, losers of 6 of last 10... and teams like TWolves, Mavs, Jazz, Pelicans, Rockets, Spurs behind them... at least 2 of those teams will catch fire at some point... playoffs not looking good... nothing will change until Stotts or CJ is gone... you can’t keep doing the same thing and expect different results

 

[Rozay]

This could easily be a 5 game losing streak

Thanks captain obvious

Ps just saying that because somebody said that to me

I thougth this is why we brought Stauskis and Curry in so that we can put out a lineup out there that when Dame and CJ get doubled all the time they can pass it to an open shooter. If we have a lineup of Dame/CJ/ET/Aminue/Nurk thats asking for no spacing whatsoever and went right into Denvers gameplan. Very bad coaching by Stotts.

Just blow this shit up

They had a very very easy schedule to be fair

But you're doing exactly this.

And Denver knew that. Hell, even I knew what was going to happen on that play.

Dame drives in and either lays it up or passes it out. CJ was open. Predictable.

You wanna hang your hat on predictable this season? Hint....it doesn't seem to be working.

 

[Rozay]

Damn still? It’s been nearly quarter of the season now

 

[kjironman1]

Well that sucked again.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

CJ: 2 pt shot down 3, then a miss at the buzzer.

I can't wait for the chorus of "ya but!" posts about how great his stats looked. That's CJ - personal accomplishment over team success.

Truer words........

Thank you. Someone gets it. ^

Yeah, the predictable wide open shot by the hot hand, what a dumb play !

Our closing lineup fucking sucks, I hate when Turner and Aminu are on the court together, especially when they’re with another non shooter like Nurk.

Teams keep daring those guys to beat them, and it usually works. Stauskas should be in the closing lineup he provides space and has the clutch gene. Don’t need Turner especially if he doesn’t have the ball in his hands.

Holy shit I've rarely seen a combination of words make less sense then this

I just want to get Turner the fuck out of this team honestly. Now even Meyers is doing decent, but Turner is straight up awful
