Depressing

Tried to tell yall that our style of play didn't translate to the playoffs.

The worst thing that happened to this team was that WCF run two years ago. It reinforced bad habits and convinced management that this team could be competitive. Unfortunately they played a weak OKC team and an inexperienced Nuggets team and were on the far easier side of the bracket. If they had been bounced early my guess is that Stotts would already be gone.

im gonna get a concussion banging my head after this comment from idiot terry

I mean our head coach believes holding guys accountable on defense is simply a “catchphrase” and doesn’t believe in making adjustments in a playoff series.

Great head coaching material.

Tried to tell yall that our style of play didn't translate to the playoffs.

Tried to tell yall that a roster with one 6'2" all-star doesn't translate to the playoffs.

Though I'm probably foolish in thinking we'll still win this series.

Good news is we'll find out next year which one it is.

 

[Chris Craig]

Cheers! Toast to a new Blazers era. A lot of silver lining

You'll bitch anyway

 

[AldoTrapani]

You'll bitch anyway

Hey man I’m mad too. But I’m already going to start being positive. Fuck this season. It was never a good one but atleast we can finally move on

 

[Haakzilla]

...also 13 FTA vs 27 FTA!! Blazers don't deserve to win, but this great of a discrepancy is unacceptable imho

 

[OneSport3]

 

[TBpup]

Hmm.....this type of play/result in the Playoffs seems frustratingly familiar.

Here's an idea. Let's bring back the Ter-Bear and CJ and maybe it will be different next year. (Version 6.l0)

You called it. But so did me and @Natebishop3

 

[Phatguysrule]

Bah!

 

[illmatic99]

dame shot 2 free throws in 40 minutes.

TWO.

27-13 FTA discrepancy.

[3putt]

Now all a sudden they can shoot....

I think it’s because of the offense strategy. With 3 mins left tied game they run bush league plays that are predictable. Late clock and no time left they just fucking play basket ball like they have for years. Done know why they always seem to slow it down when they are close

 

[Shaboid]

Appropriate that we lost by five. I feel like we were stuck at five back the entire game.

27-13 FTA discrepancy.

Can't rely on the refs

 

[MickZagger]

The amount of wide open 3’s I’ve watched the past 5 or so years is gross.

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

I think we need to play Little. At this pace we won’t advance unless something shakes things up. Little needs the experience and maybe he’ll add the spark we need.

 

[Haakzilla]

27-13 FTA discrepancy.

...and this right here proves that the NBA officiating is a joke and all based on league favoritism and agendas

 

[illmatic99]

Can't rely on the refs

forget rely. dame is getting hammered on some of these drives without a call. for how aggressive he is there is no way he should get to the line just twice in such a physical game. guys are handchecking and holding him on every drive

 

[brooklynballer]

You called it. But so did me and @Natebishop3

Dude stop. Bones and others have been saying this for YEARS.

 

[Serbian]

How is that possible with muray that they have 6 Guards. We got only 4. Ridiculous . But bastard malone is 10x the coach stotts is. Absolutely clueless . Can not wait til he and cj are gone

 

[Chris Craig]

The amount of wide open 3’s I’ve watched the past 5 or so years is gross.

No one on the Blazers could hit one tonight. Everyone was Bricking. So hard to watch

 

[blazerkor]

This loss isn't definitive. Now, I've had Denver in 6 since they chose to play us the last game of the season but that doesn't mean I'll be right or this series is over. We will shoot better than that from three going forward. The problem is as ridiculous as them shooting 50+% from three is, they'll probably continue to do that because we are shit at three point defense. So what I'm saying is, yeah we will probably lose this series but no it's not a foregone conclusion.

 

[illmatic99]

I think we need to play Little. At this pace we won’t advance unless something shakes things up. Little needs the experience and maybe he’ll add the spark we need.

it would take an act of god for terry to break his dumbass rotation, that too for something this drastic

 

[ehizzy3]

forget rely. dame is getting hammered on some of these drives without a call. for how aggressive he is there is no way he should get to the line just twice in such a physical game. guys are handchecking and holding him on every drive

and they call it all the time on us

The way it will always be until he retires

 

[DDolla]

We lose game 4, it’s over. if we win game 4 need to get game 5 and finish them off in 6. If it goes game 7, Denver wins

 

[Tince]

I don't know why I think we're going to win this series, but I do...

 

[Jon]

Was stotts let into the locker room? Cause he shouldn't have been.
