Tough to know if it was good defense or complacency setting in after Toronto was up by 25 points.

The defense definately picked up, the offense just couldn't quite follow suit

What you guys think about this L? And the next games: Utah and Lakers

Utah will be tough just because of how they play defense. With Hayward gone, they don't score as well but still tough to score on. They've beat the Lakers seeming 20 times in a row so if that ends, there goes the neighborhood.

Utah is gonna be a loss. We'll win against the Lakers, but by no more than 10.

My new team Utah has less talent than the Blazers but they play smarter.

I know the whole roster by now, Gobert, Rubio, and all those other guys.
 
What to think about this loss?
"Good" things: Denver lost, Pelicans lost, Houston and Memphis lost. We could have the same record as the last ones...

What to think about that one?

How? As someone else pointed out, and I agree totally, this game felt like last season pre-Nurk. That, is definitely troubling.

However, I’m only talking about this game. Obviously there is opportunity to right the ship.

This one just felt too familiar, that’s all
 
Not a great game. Offensively lots of over dribbling, over passing and just indecisiveness. Defensively it looked like we got caught up in letting out offensive woes in the 2nd really effect our D and we never recovered from that.
They out worked us, out hustled us and got into our heads. Unfortunately that happens now and then, time to regroup and get ready for the next game.

A very strange energy tonight. The blazers played like they were on the second of a back to back. Completely discombobulated. I wonder if it had to do with us underestimatingbour opponent. Looked like we didn't watch tapes before the game.
 
Well that sucked. I hope someone is pissed and layin it out there tonight.
You don't let a team embarrass you like that in you own gym.
I thought Nurkic and Aminu were gonna have good nights after the first two possessions but in stepped the old Aminu and Nurkic simply got owned by the Brazilian.
Not sure why but Lillard doesn't seem to like to pass to Pat. Open time and time again but won't send him the ball? What's up with that?
Moe still can't hit a free throw to save his life and it seems the Blazers are just not Bad Boys at all. Pretty much just bad tonight.
Lets hope they get a little angry about losing like this. I know this team can play better. Stotts better find a way to motivate this group because they simply look like they don't care.

I think this game will ultimately be good for the Blazers. There is a lot to learn from it. Blazers must come to every game ready to play. Can't underestimate opponents. Got to stay humble and hungry. The guys are pissed right now, they need to use it constructively.

Games at home where we let teams wear their white "home" jerseys, we have lost
 
We won 2 games at home but overall we really didn't well on the offense end and our defense haven't been great in the 1st half but the 2nd half we been decent. But right the West is getting there ass handed to from the East especially these last 2 nights.

We didn't trust each other tonight. Didn't play team ball and it showed.

Dame definitely looked pissed and collectively I really hope you’re right. Didn’t expect nor want a wake up call this early in the season though, honestly
