[DDolla]

Raptors came back from 30 down a couple weeks ago. Believe Harder.

Raptors has the heart of a champion. Blazers GLeague team

So, been really busy today and went to turn the game on... what happened...?

 

[Darkwebs]

The Blazers need to play hungry like the Wolves

Because Stotts.

 

[illmatic99]

Because Stotts.

he didnt tell them to fall asleep

 

[julius]

Wow, Whiteside almost has more blocks this season, after 36 games, as Meyers had in his whole career in Portland.

 

[Strenuus]

"But we need to make the playoffs"

Looking like this? I understand wanting to be optimistic... But this showing is the reality. Embrace it.

 

[illmatic99]

about to go down 30 without Towns.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I don't understand why we're not taking these games seriously and playing with a sense of urgency.

 

[tlongII]

he didnt tell them to fall asleep

He didn’t exactly inspire them to play hard either.

Dame went 1 on 5 most of the way. We can't rebound on either side of the floor. But Whiteside has hit a three and a few long midrange shots. Teague got a 4 point play. It was embarrassing given the situation we were in.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Because stotts.

Because they arent good.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Because stotts.

Stotts is responsible for the players caring? I disagree with that.

 

[julius]

I see no reason to fight for the 8th seed, only to be worked over by the Lakers.

 

[Darkwebs]

Refs be like, "No blood, no foul. Oh wait. There's blood?. Well, still not a foul."

 

[KSF-ERIC]

reallynot liking dame tonight.

You wouldn't know it from watching but he actually has 8 assists and 0 turnovers.

 

[rotary111]

Glad to see Hoard getting some time.

He may have a future in the league.

 

[illmatic99]

turning it off.

 

[julius]

Little and Hoard in the game, throwing in the towel?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Shoot the three Baze; you have a better % on them than on layups.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I was rewatching some playoff games from last season. It's sad, but we really miss Aminu, Harkless, and Turner. A lot.

 

[Cugel]

so bad. beyond me why stotts wont change anything. the only way to change is a new coach.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

We're not even making a run. I think our longest run in the second half is 5-0.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

so bad. beyond me why stotts wont change anything. the only way to change is a new coach.

Not gonna happen.

 

[Darkwebs]

Trent getting after it!
