This team is too good to play like this. I just don't understand it.

 

[VenomXL]

What the fuck is this game? Why are we exclusively taking long twos in the quarter?

 

[B-Roy]

Oh my god what are these fucking shots???

 

[Labinot41]

Wtf is this

 

[TBpup]

Wade may come out of retirement next year just to play the Blazers.

 

[BonesJones]

WHY THE FUCK IS MAURICE HARKLESS SHOOTING A PULL-UP MID-RANGE SHOT WITH 18 ON THE SHOT CLOCK?????

 

[SIeepwalker]

Season's over

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Evan Turner is dreadful

 

[BonesJones]

Another mid-range jumper....

 

[H.C.]

Portland hasn't scored since I turned the game on.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

 

[James lamphear]

ET turnovers and no discipline on D by the whole team; need tougher coaching.

You are right about that.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Well this is painful.

 

[Shaboid]

Wow

 

[VenomXL]

I’m having my first “fuck this shit” moment of the season.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Looks like we wilt when faced with a good defense.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Jesus fucking Christ.

The sooner we get rid of Terry Stotts, the better. This is completely on him. Can't even come out of a new quarter with anything. Same disjointed, no leadership, sloppy team.

Great D by Miami, forcing us into bad shots.

 

[TBpup]

Layman's good play rewarded with an immediate benching. Turner allowed to continue to be TURRBLE!

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Portland hasn't scored since I turned the game on.

Do you mind turning it back off... lol

 

[KingSpeed]

Portland hasn't scored since I turned the game on.

Then turn it off lol

 

[BonesJones]

It's like they forget all the fundamentals of their offense... It's like they don't have a foundation to fall back on... Things get tough and all of a sudden we:

Don't pass
Don't cut
Don't run in transition
Shoot contested mid-range jumpers
Overhelp on every drive
Don't box out

Sticking with rotation that was successful in 3 wins.

 

[Shaboid]

Can we put Dame back in?

 

[BonesJones]

Maurice Harkless has never been a good mid-range shooter, especially off the dribble. He almost airballed that... That was probably the worst shot of the season... I don't understand where our head is at but it's not in the game...

 

[Chris Craig]

Jesus fucking Christ.

The sooner we get rid of Terry Stotts, the better. This is completely on him. Can't even come out of a new quarter with anything. Same disjointed, no leadership, sloppy team.

I don't like that the Blazers came into the 2nd quarter with same lineup that ended the 1st. No adjustments

 

[SIeepwalker]

Seriously considering going to sleep... I don't have to inflict this to myself at 3 in the morning

Props to Miami

 

[rotary111]

We got this!

Can't be so rigid or this happens...
