We need to trade ASAP. This is going south quick.

Were 5-4 lmao...

 

[Rhal]

Oh man that game SUCKED. You could almost feel the frustration of the players coming through the TV, especially in the second quarter. Clippers played great and certainly gave it to us but we missed so many option shots that it felt like I was watching a video tape of myself shooting.

 

[BonesJones]

Jake Layman needs to start next to Harkless.

 

[SIeepwalker]

This game was the most depressing shit of this year, and that's considering my girlfriend of 2y left me last month

 

[THE HCP]

They don't. We eliminated them from the playoffs.

BECAUSE THEIR TWO BEST PLAYERS GOT INJURED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[THE HCP]

The fact that we can get 70 from our guards is part of what makes this team good. Come on, we just won 3 games in a row. We're on the road on the second night of a back to back against the best team in the league. Next three games are at home. We can be 8-4 by this time next week I think.

But didn't you recently say we were going to finish with 64 wins and the #1 seed? Yet in this post you are now saying the Clippers are the BEST THE IN THE ENTIRE NBA? What should we make of these clashing opinions of yours?

 

[THE HCP]

We'll probably lose about 25 game this year and after every one, you guys will bitch about how awful we are. Calm down. We're a Bledsoe three from being 4-0 on the road. Can't win em all and this isn't even over yet.

I don't think Portland blows it's load on turner, crabbe and leonard if they had simply be swept aside in the 1st round(and the only reason that didn't happen is injury). But they got too excited about their playoff performance,

We tied the serie before injuries happened

Paul left in the middle of the fourth game. So, no.

Yup although Crabbe isn't too bad to me..

The problem is Blazer fans fall in love with mediocre players and don’t want to give them up (Outlaw, Barton, Fernandez to name a few). I’m just as guilty as the next. However, outside of CJ and Dame this team is full of tier two players.

We’re led to believe the team is greater than the sum of its parts. While this may have held true last year, it was a fluke. Lightning doesn’t strike twice. We need a consolidation trade and we need one soon

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

this is one time I was glad I was working last night at a home that had no internet or cable tv.

While we were winning the game.

 

[Nikolokolus]

While we were winning the game.

If you seriously believe that the Blazers were in the same class as the Clippers at full strength then I think we're done here.

 

[riverman]

That was a real nailbiter.

I too was waiting on pins and needles for that 36 pt run that could happen any second

 

[riverman]

We stunk up this game and it was our worst of the season so far......if you think we don't need Aminu's defensive presence and rebounding...this game says you're wrong

 

[julius]

Amuni isn't making up 31 points.

 

[julius]

hahahah! Total brain fart there.

Aminu.

 

[riverman]

Amuni isn't making up 31 points.

Julius......with the right defense and limiting their offensive rebounds....I disagree....we had no answer for Griffin....he had layup drills all night...Chief would have plugged that gap and we would have had more transition buckets...as it stood, we played their game only two steps slow all night...Chief is an outstanding defender whether folks like his shooting or not

 

[julius]

He wouldn't have made up 31 points (which is being generous, since they were down by almost 50 at one point).

The game might've been closer, and he's the best defender on the team (which is like being the tallest family member of people all under 5'6"...still short), but he's not making up that much of a difference.

the teams problems are much bigger than missing Aminu.
