So we have to lose games. On one hand, we don't want to lose to the good teams. On the other hand, if we lose to bad teams, everyone bitches. So who should we lose to?

30-9. I'll take it.
 
The regular season record doesn't mean shit in the West beyond getting in. Every team is tough. The Thunder and Spurs could end up 7-8 for heaven's sake. And Portland is no better at home than on the road.
 
Well if one of either Batum or Matthews showed up, we could have still beat this team easily.

The loss doesn't bother me. Clips are a good team. We just need to figure out when Batum is ready to contribute or do something with him.

Yes we are
 
This really came down to Chris Paul out defending Damian Lillard..took him out of his game for the most part

We let 2 slip away against the Clippers. I still like how we match up with them though. We would get them in a 7 game series.

I agree. The thing with the clips is their outside shot cannot be sustained each game in a row. We can win games without shooting well, they can't.
 
Forget about "chemistry" trade piece of shit CJ and Wright for Chandler and start him, and let Batum get 12 minutes a game.

I'm not swayed with this loss.

Wanna know something funny? We have a losing record when we are tied going in the fourth. We have winning records if we are ahead or behind

A year ago, if we win, the fans celebrate like it's the championship. Not to be Debbie Downer, but look at the SOS and what we've done. There's A LOT to be proud of, but this team has growth to go.
 
Regular season W/L is meaningless for this team. I'm more upset that I no longer have a lossless hat.
 
Sucks to waste a big game from Aldridge. He wasn't there for us in 4th though.
 
Why we decided to stop attacking Crawful and his so called defense is beyond me. Nic was better than this his rookie year. Get it right dude, you're a liability right now

It still comes down to our bench (and it would help if Batum comes to play too). But mainly the bench, while it has been much better this year thanks to Kaman, Blake and now it looks like Leonard it is still not great by any means. We could still use some extra scoring off the bench along with Kaman and it doesn't look like CJ, Barton, T-Rob and Crabbe are really ready for that at least yet.

For sure. We missed some shots we more often than not make. But for games like this, we gotta hit 'em. Not sure if it's us or the opponent.
 
God I hate the Fucking Clippers. And I am not alone. I bet they are the most hated team in the NBA. When are the refs going to stop rewarding Chris Paul for initiating contact? Whether he is dribbling up court and stops so the players behind run into him or if they are side by side and he just leans into them, throws his arms up and gets the call. Figure it fucking out. We have no answer for him. They beat us in the 4th quarter every time. And thanks to the Blazer fans booing Crawford the last couple of years....he just eats us alive. Dumb asses.

Fuck Crawful. He deserves as much blame as Felton for tanking that season.

Of course he does. But when has booing an ex Blazer (or ex-any team player) ever done anything but make the player more determined to beat their old team? It just fires them up.
