Game Thread SEEDING GAME# 5: CLIPPERS @ BLAZERS - AUGUST 8, 2020 - SATURDAY, 10:00AM, TNT & NBCSNW

Bad loss. We’re still in good position though.

 

[DDolla]

Ughhhhhh!!!!! Shit

 

[TBpup]

Way to go Blazers. You loose a game with the Clips sitting their best player and then sitting the rest of their best players for the end of the game?
My goodness....that is a bad loss and could really hurt for getting the 8th spot.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

What the fuck just happened

 

[Chris Craig]

Fuck the Blazers

 

[twobullz]

Lillard and CJ a combined 1-4 from the stripe. Embarrassing game with the Clippers sitting so many.

 

[BlazerBeav]

2 points in over four minutes to close.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Can’t believe Dame didn’t make that 3.

 

[Shaboid]

Damn. Well, on to the next one.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Season over!

We wasn’t gonna do anything anyways

we can’t even beat clippers missing everybody and Denver barley

 

[julius]

no one to blame but themselves.

 

[B-Roy]

Unbelievable.

 

[Chris Craig]

no playoffs for the Blazers

 

[wizenheimer]

well....I guess before we spend a lot of time analyzing the Blazers vs Lakers in 1st round, Portland should get there first

 

[VenomXL]

That was SO bad. Really takes the shine off this week. I know they still have a chance but dropping a game to the Clippers bench where your superstar misses a pair at the line...

 

[PCmor7]

Horrible loss, but, tbh, this team hasn't really had it. Struggling with the Nuggets playing with one hand tied behind their backs the other night was a big red flag.

We just don't play smart. We either lack killer instinct or we don't have the talent I thought we did. We don't play defense. We don't get to the foul line. I had high hopes for Ant and Zach but now I'd be willing to unload both in the offseason.

I'm indifferent on whether this team gets to the 8-9 play-in or not. It's just really disappointing to watch them too much of the time. Exciting, but you always leave thinking there was something missing.

 

[Labinot41]

Worst worst worst loss i can remember

 

[James lamphear]

We lost the game by stupidity by us. From bad possission from dumb fouls by veteran and a coach running Dame in the ground. But I am faulting all together that because all he has on bench is guys that 12-15 players.

 

[illmatic99]

Doc fucked with the basketball gods and we get the wrath. That about sums up this year. 2020 can go fuck itself.

Bounce back, dame.

 

[AldoTrapani]

no playoffs for the Blazers

Good we don’t deserve it. We’re not that good. We can’t even beat clippers missing everybody and Denver running their b squad

I don’t wanna get embarrassed as an 8th seed agains

 

[beast blazer]

No excuses. We lost to their bench.

 

[Serbian]

Terrible loss. I can not believe Dame missed both FT . Could never imagine it. He lost his legs he stotts playing him 44 min per game way too much

 

[AldoTrapani]

Hahaha they asked Paul George why he sat the last 5 min, He tried holding in his smile and said load management haha

 

[Shaboid]

I love you all, but the negativity is strong at the moment. I will talk to everyone later after sitting by the pool. There will be beverages. Enough to forget everything I just saw, probably. My last words are GD I wanted that win!

 

[Chris Craig]

Good we don’t deserve it. We’re not that good. We can’t even beat clippers missing everybody and Denver running their b squad

I don’t wanna get embarrassed as an 8th seed agains

No the Blazers don't deserve it. Not after that

 

[beast blazer]

The blazers too frequently waste possessions with forced 1 on 1 shots.

 

[James lamphear]

I look at a lost tomorrow we are tired team right now.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

a coach running Dame in the ground.

Maybe you are right. 39 minutes and short on his last two threes and both free throws. However if Olshey had found them another decent guard, then Stotts wouldn't have to run him into the ground.

 

[DDolla]

Can we still make it? Not sure how that play in works? Do they play like one game or like best of 3?

 

[tykendo]

Lack of depth showed up today. Nurk and Dame were gassed. Dame doesn't miss those ft's often. His legs were gone. Well have to win out and hope for help. No rest for the weary, gotz to come back tomorrow. Need Hassan to play.
