It’s like some of you don’t see that their entire strategy is to double and triple team Dame. They’re daring the rest of the team to hurt them and we can’t.

CJ and Nurk are shitting the bed. Especially CJ. They aren't clamping down on him at all. 22 points on 21 shots, and he's getting good looks. He's just choking his ass off.
 
The refs raped us
 
Remember last time they had homecourt in a series and got eviserated by Yao Ming's Rockets ? Feels like that.

Refs didn't cause us to loose the game. This is just a weak excuse.


Portland is a jump shooting team. They're not going to get calls that way.

It's complete idiocy to ignore the causative effect of referees. Why even have refs if they perform no causative function?

How? by making Holliday and Rondo lock up Damian, and making the Pels win all of the fifty-fifty balls? gimme a break.

Get some glasses. And if you have some, get a new prescription.

8 on 5 and the Pelicans getting EVERY 50/50 ball, and great trap defense.

Not to mention hitting every fucking shot they threw up. Every. Single. One.

At this point, I want us to get swept. Because that's the ONLY thing that's going to drive it home to Paul Allen that there needs to be big changes.

I don't envy Paul.....Seahags won't win 7 games next year, and his basketball team is a dumpster fire with no leadership.
 
Well this is bad, but who knows. I mean I can't believe how this has gone. Dame is a shell of himself. He even cut his hair so you know he's pressing. I still believe it's possible, though not likely, for a comeback. Got to get 1. The trolls are happy. They can suck it. If Nurk can't play, it's over. Nurk is the key. Without him, the Blazers struggle in the paint, on both ends. I'm not giving up. I hope the Blazers don't either. I know for a fact, Dame won't go out with a whimper. Go Blazers!!!

Exactly. I blame Stotts for not coming up with a counter strategy. If Dame’s being doubled and tripled then, guess what, somebody on the team is being left wide open.

Yes, that person, in the fourth quarter, was Zach Collins and he didn't deliver when we needed him to. Not his fault. He played pretty well overall. But then that was NO's gameplan.
 
We lost the game in the third quarter. Our defense went to complete crap.

I can see just fine. The Pelicans clearly outworked the Blazers on defense, didn't settle for as many bad shots, their guards locked down ours, and they got to the rim almost at will. Blaming the refs doesn't change any of what I saw.

It won't matter if he can play since Stotts won't even play him.
