Yeah prove it.

And like 100 times on Davis.

Prove it? WTF are you talking about? And I'm pretty sure he didn't score 100 times on Davis.

 

[ripcityboy]

Not going to bash the refs. We lost that fair and square. This team has a ceiling with Dame and CJ both on the floor. And the coaching as well.

 

[illmatic99]

Silver lining take here. Nurk seems to be getting his groove back.

he needs to stop committing stupid fouls

 

[Strenuus]

It's weird... we've lost both games by a combined 3 points.

But our wins have all been in double digits.

 

[Sinobas]

This team is going to lose a lot of close games, with our choke artist stars leading the way.

 

[Shaboid]

There is no 'OSU vs. Stanford' game thread this week, so I'm trying to focus on that instead of the Blazers loss. Wait, my Beavs just lost terribly also? FUCK. First Fats Domino goes down, now this?! This has been a rough week to say the least.

It’s the opposite problem of the 2011-2012 season where we’d win by 3 and lose by 28.

We get it. Everyone on the team is great and everyone on the other team isn't that good. It's boring.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Silver lining take here. Nurk seems to be getting his groove back.

He had 5 fouls in this game. If that's "Groove", then I'd like to see what bad Nurk is.

 

[GrandJury]

Because he over dribbles and gets stripped a lot

He shoots 50-40-90

Let’s trade them for garbage and then we can’t be disappointed.

At least the Beavs aren't getting blown out by 4o every week like they were under that incompetent buffoon. They look closer to being an actual D1 football team.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Have the Blazers ever lost a game that the refs didn't cost them?


Asking for a friend

 

[dviss1]

I love how our best defender (Turner) wasn't even in the game on that last possession, but our worst (CJ) was. Brilliant.

This. Stotts failure.

 

[Scalma]

Today was a great example of why we could use an actual backup center. West is loaded with centers and when Nurk is in foul trouble we're fucked because Davis can't handle any of them when isolated.

 

[GrandJury]

We were so close to 5-0

We’re not that good

 

[rotary111]

I hope Vonleh can guard Blake a little better than anyone else did tonight or we will have no answer for this guy.

 

[dviss1]

We get it. Everyone on the team is great and everyone on the other team isn't that good. It's boring.

I truly don't know WTF you're talking about right now...

 

[noknobs]

Ed Davis 0-7 from inside 5 feet including 0-5 on lay-ins. I wasn't aware that was even possible at the professional level. Learn something every day.

 

[H.C.]

Couple plays from being 5-0.
Things will even out, another opportunity Saturday.

 

[Shaboid]

At least the Beavs aren't getting blown out by 4o every week like they were under that incompetent buffoon. They look closer to being an actual D1 football team.

No comment, only because it'd be a complete knee jerk reaction.

I appreciate your positive outlook.

 

[Jade Falcon]

This. Stotts failure.

It baffles me that 5 years into this shit, Stotts still doesn't seem to see this stuff. What the fuck is wrong with this idiot? Someone get this clown some glasses.

 

[GrandJury]

This team is going to lose a lot of close games, with our choke artist stars leading the way.

It’s Dame

He takes dumb ass inefficient shots

 

[dviss1]

He had 5 fouls in this game. If that's "Groove", then I'd like to see what bad Nurk is.

Stotts failure.

 

[Trackjack]

You can't shoot 39 percent and play like shit 1/2 the game expect come out ahead. Yes the ref wasnt very good tonight. But you don't shoot yourself in the foot by not making clutch free throws. Maybe if they start playing in the first half instead waiting for the 2nd half. Stotts didnt do a good job coaching in this game. We loose a lot close games since Stotts been here he just don't think sometimes in key situation in the game. Especially when clippers didn't have any times out he could call time before to be able set his D in the finally sec. Maybe gave CJ a breather for the shots and then get the right defense too.

 

[Sinobas]

Other teams stifle our offense by trapping Dame and CJ yet we just let the other team's star abuse us one on one.

 

[Jade Falcon]

And if you think this loss is bad, just wait until the Rockets, OKC, and Warriors come to town.

 

[Shaboid]

I hear whispers of Tunchi....

 

[Sinobas]

Ed Davis 0-7 from inside 5 feet including 0-5 on lay-ins. I wasn't aware that was even possible at the professional level. Learn something every day.

He kept trying to put hook shots over Deandre Jordan.

 

[dviss1]

It’s Dame

He takes dumb ass inefficient shots

Valid point. But before you say that ask yourself this:

Why THE FUCK was Nurk in the game in the 2nd with 4 fouls? Hell, why was he in there with 3??

Huh?? What ya got for me Terry??
