well...that was a lost qtr

 

[Scalma]

Hey look, 60 points given up again at halftime. We're back.

 

[illmatic99]

62 points.

To this pathetic team.

Go home.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Feels like a letdown game after last night.

 

[Strenuus]

Terry Stotts said we "had to win this game"...

That's now how you win, Terry. God damn.

 

[Strenuus]

Okay, don't tank - but please... this team is not playoff ready, as odd as that sounds.... this isn't just bad - this is downright pathetic.

 

[Trackjack]

We are still it and we close the QT strong hope carry over in the 2nd half. Defense needs to get active in the 2nd half too.

 

[riverman]

I'm still celebrating the 1st qtr....our bench has a flat tire

WELP THIS IS DEPRESSING

 

[JDC]

So... did Terry make the decision to play soft defense or are the players just deciding not to listen? Who should I be most pissed at?

Lol, I don't think it's either of those things. Our offense effecting our defense is the reason. A few missed on our end followed by few makes on the other has this team crawling into a shell.

The confidence of this team has been fragile all year.

 

[Five Second Violation]

Feels like a letdown game after last night.

Because god forbid they look modestly engaged for two full games in a row.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The Cavs 2017 pick is jinxed! Give it back! Give it back!

 

[Nikolokolus]

It's times like these when I wish they would have sucked ass last year. A bunch of cock teases.

Playoffs? Bwahahahaa

 

[ripcityboy]

Every non-Blazer fan conversation I hear about us this year.....

"How can the Blazers be this bad?"

"They overachieved last season. So people put unrealistic expectations on them.
They were only supposed to win around 20 games last season."

 

[riverman]

Nobody wants to get traded so they're all just lowering their trade value in case

 

[Blazinaway]

Feels like a letdown game after last night.

feels and looks like that almost every friggin game

 

[Blazinaway]

Nobody wants to get traded so their all just lowering their trade value in case

LOL, how low can they go?

 

[Strenuus]

Why celebrate it? It looks like they did and they were hungover for the 2nd quarter.

Wipe that whole first half off... it was horrible.

 

[SIeepwalker]

But we're gonna win tho

 

[Strenuus]

Playoffs? Bwahahahaa

I'm not wanting them to make the playoffs - I guess I worded that weirdly.

 

[EGame]

haha i like this. Covering your bases so that you may appear to come off as a Tunchi, you aren't quite there.

Don't suck the joy out of that first qtr smackdown! It's the most fun I've had all game! 2nd qtr....flush it...

 

[Nikolokolus]

Because god forbid they look modestly engaged for two full games in a row.

Tough on a back to back.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

FUCK I WANT TO SMASH MY IPAD

 

[SlyPokerDog]

FUCK I WANT TO SMASH MY IPAD

[SIeepwalker]

the worst part is I can already see the post saying we were better off without Dame

 

[julius]

9 point deficits feel like 20 point deficits with this team. And 9 point leads feel like being up by -3 points.

There is just something weird about this team.

 

[illmatic99]

Am I the only one who thinks of ET as an addition by subtraction candidate? He is so loose with the ball and brings NOTHING to the table. And his effort is pathetic
