I try too man. Its hard. Blazers are a laughings stock right now. Its frustrating. At least we still have a chance at the 3rd abd our last game is at home.

And thanks to you I'll be there screaming my lungs out with my RC2 FAMS!

And I bet he missed all of those shots.

That was clever @Darkwebs.

 

[blue9]

Turner took shots at the Refs tonight in the locker room.

Better than him taking shots at the hoop!

Your welcome man. We gotta win. We gotta

 

[DDolla]

Our bench are back sucking balls. Just in time for the playoffs

 

[OneSport3]

The scary part is evidently CJ charts every shot he takes. Think about that. That means he’s either extremely selfish to continue taking the shots he does, or he’s just fucking stupid. Not sure which is worse.

Not only is he taking terrible shots. He will actually look off the correct pass/play before taking a terrible shot.

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

Sorry, I usually try to be positive, but man, I'm so salty right now. 4-game losing streak during a crucial stretch run?

Better that they get it out of their system now, rather than later.

 

[Strenuus]

Unfortunately, they're playing like there won't be much of a later for them.

True. It's not unheard of for teams to flip the switch during the Playoffs. I really really really hope that's us.

 

[Scalma]

If Utah loses tomorrow rest everyone, specifically the backcourt and Nurkic. I don’t care what seed we get.

This team always slumps into the playoffs by usually comes out firing.

Keep the faith dude. Do you personally give up after a bad day or two? Nope, you just hope tomorrow is a better day. No other way to look at it.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

This is the definition of LOW IQ BASKETBALL. Denver is soft as pudding in the middle. Jokic and Plumlee are no rim protectors. Attack the middle! Don't settle for the Aminu or Turner 3 point shot. UUGGHHH! So frustrated with this Coach you have no idea.

We have terrific personnel. We are a very talented team but this Coach doesn't know how to utilize it properly.

 

[rotary111]

Zach's shot is so f-ing close. I swear he hits either the inside of the rim or hits dead on but short. I know we need those shots but dang he is a rookie. Patience is hard right now. Luckily he has been tough on D.

 

[riverman]

this team has had to win out to get a low seed the last couple seasons...this season we locked up the playoffs earlier than usual

 

[BonesJones]

Maybe you should listen to yourself. It’s always negative and it gets very old. It’s a fucking game. Get over it.

So you're going to be extremely negative and blast me for being negative. Got it.

Don't try and start shit when people are frustrated. People aren't happy. Get over it.

If you dont like the negativity, maybe try, I dunno... Being positive?

lol. I'm not opening up that can of worms.

He didn't make the team shoot 20 some % ...shoot better we win this game

And....

The process of getting an 8 seed was more fun than the process of getting a 3 seed.

 

[riverman]

And....

Don't freak out just yet....playoffs haven't even started...

 

[Strenuus]

Don't freak out just yet....playoffs haven't even started...

That wasn't what I was saying and for.. lol.

I've enjoyed the whole season...I like that we can get home court...

 

[DreamKillah]

What a buncha choke artists! Not looking forward to Wednesday so much after tonite . . .

Except when he does.

It's the losing vs. winning part. The team raised my expectations with great play and now they're performing below them. It's a letdown verse the opposite.

I’m done with the “shit”. You don’t handle criticism (constructive or otherwise) worth beans. You’re the frickin’ expert based on a year of playing community college ball and the rest of us don’t know squat. You’re always calling others out but you can’t handle being called out yourself. Thanks for making this a fun place to come to.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

The most frustrating thing is you know Stotts isn’t going to call out CJ. He has no problem calling out Nurkic (even when he plays well!) but god forbid he says anything about that black hole we have at SG.

Btw our best run in the second half came without CJ. As soon as he came in I told myself we’re gonna lose this lead, and fast. And we did. Like clockwork.

At one point I began thinking that CJ should be the guy that Baldwin comes in for, not Pat or Napier.

That point is still here. lol.
