A guy named Strus beat us tonight while McLemore went 0 for 7.
 
Losing Nas tanks my interest in the team…
 
Not a bad night. All our tradeable assets had decent nights and we moved up in the lottery race.
 
Yup, no offense in second half. Oh well, stay in the lotto
 
The Heat announcers have been crying the whole game about the second T to Butler, but the Heat have gotten the advantage of A LOT of big, questionable calls in this game. Two of Nurkic's fouls were obvious flops. Then he has his arm held down allowing the Heat to come from behind and get a rebound in a key moment in the middle of the game. DSJ gets pulled down at midcourt leading to a Heat steal and bucket ... no call. Then the kiss-off on Strus throwing CJ to the floor so he gets a wide-open 3.
 
Whistles absolutely changed the flow of that game in the fourth. Let Miami get away with everything while calling flops against Nurk.

refs played great tonight, Miami’s MVP
 
Ant is a major piece of the Blazer’s future. And I’m afraid Nas is too brittle.

We won’t win a ring with any of CJ / Nurkic / RoCo / so might as we’ll blow up Olshey’s mess!
 
McLemore played this game like he wished he could have been anywhere else. If his lack of hustle from the moment he went in wasn't a signal to Chauncey that he didn't deserve to be on the floor, that embarrassing off-one-foot, sideways throw at the basket should have gotten him pulled. You're a professional. Act like it.
 
Why did we loose scoring only 12 points in close game doesn't help you win. 18 turnovers and bench with only 12 points. But offense last game kind stall out in the 4th too. Simons 27/7 CJ 24 and Covington 11/12 double and Nurk another solid game 18/14 double double.

CJ is a good tank commander

Chauncey is just learning and that's fine with me because we aren't contending this season. That being said, starting the all scrub unit to begin the fourth of a competitive game was not at all a good decision. I realize that we're shorthanded but Chauncey has to as well and make sure his rotations never leave us that exposed.

he thought he was fouled. He did that same thing a couple nights ago, made the shot, and got the call. He was bad defensively tonight.

CJ needs to go ASAP Ant has to be the first or second option on a team

Portland goes ice cold in the 4th quarter, scoring only 12 points in the final period and lose in Miami. Come chat about the game with us and ask question in our Spaces during the stream.

To me, it didn't look like he was close to being fouled and the sell job if that's what he was doing was too awkward to get a call.

He's been really good the last few weeks but he didn't come to play at all tonight and if a guy's in that mindset, particularly a JAG, it's best to sit him and give someone else the opportunity. Plus, middle-of-the-pack guys really need to give effort every night. He wasn't making his shot. He wasn't finding other ways to get shots. He wasn't hustling and fighting for loose balls. And he's almost always going to be a liability on defense. A guy like him has to come out and play like he wants to be there. He didn't tonight.
