What a disgusting quarter. I’m damn close to turning this off. We’ll see how the next few minutes go.
 
A game that you need to get and they gave it away again... smh
 
Lately we been having one bad quarter on both ends and that quarter wasn't good by anybody.
 
The thing I hate the most about this team is they get your hopes up. They show you flashes. Then they stop trying. They play dumb. They play selfish. They quit.

They can play with the best teams in the NBA and lose to the worst.

I thought we were a lock for the playoffs, but now I think we miss out. We're a .500 team at best the rest of the way, and that's not going to get it done. I don't care who we play. We'll snap a losing streak by beating someone good, and we'll come back the very next game and give it back by blowing a big lead through laziness and stupidity or we'll just get run off the floor entirely because we don't try on defense.
 
The Pelicans announcers commented on the Blazers being last in assists.

They said that when they were moving the ball in at the beginning of the game, the offense clicked and they got a good lead. Later, when things get tougher they tend to go one-on-one and the end up taking contested shots and have a lot of people standing and watching.

Good summary of a Terry Stotts offense. There is no plan.
 
Gotta give it to new orleans, especially holiday, on how they are guarding Dame...holding him to 0 three pointers made through 3 quarters.
 
Makes me angry watching this crap. I wait the whole day for it. Losing hurts, but I can take losing if we compete. I can't take losing when we play like dogs.

I gave you multiple examples, so it wasn't semantics.

Like I said before, I’ll ignore your posts and you ignore mine because I don’t have time to for semantics with you.

We'll make playoffs. Our schedule is much easier than Memphis' and New Orleans'. I don't think it will be close. If we lose tonight, so be it. We weren't going to win out. There will be losses along the way.

I don't think it's Terry's offense to go 1 on 1. His offense allows players to dictate what they want to do. Stotts's problem is that there is no accountability and he doesn't put any pressure on his guys when they are doing dumb shit. He will just let it happen, as a player's coach.

I heard today that Synergy Sports has Dame as the most efficent high volume player in the NBA. I'd be curious to why that is; could be lot of factors I'm sure.

I just said ease of schedule doesn't matter with these guys. You can put your eggs in that basket. You haven't been paying attention to this season if you think it consistently beats inferior teams. It doesn't.
 
Good news. We won't play New Orleans in playoffs. They've always owned us.
