Nate's post-game presser is a carbon copy of the Wizard post-game presser. He said the same EXACT stuff.

What do you mean? Did it go something like this, "Well, we just got outworked and uuuhhh we got outscrapped......"
 
I'm sure the fans calling for this uptempo style are thrilled with the sloppy play and turnovers!

It's kinda hard to run any kind of break when you don't have a PG.

It's also hard to run a break when you're taking the ball out of the net. The lack of knowledge of team defense is staggering. It seems like decision-making and recognition skills are getting worse.

Odd, since that's supposed to be Nate's coaching specialty: defense.
 
Highlight of the night: Abby Chin's sweater meat on Talkin' Ball, and she's only a single bagger!
 
Interesting. Wallace actually shows up...and LMA goes MIA.

Cause, effect, coincidence, or conspiracy?

Just asking the question shows how wrong this season has gone!
 
It's more depressing than usual when we play against a team like Minnesota; usually i only have to watch a team that has two PG's better than any one on the Blazers. Tonight had to watch a team with three better!

I don't think Felton should ever be allowed on the court with the Blazers again; nor even in the locker room. Canzano may be exaggerating about how many involved but I think every one knows that Felton is one malcontent. And his play on the court showed absolutely no enthusiasm tonight, along with his usual lack of knowing how to run a team.

Although sometimes I have this sneaking suspicion that more of this is on Nate. I feel like Felton and Wallace might actually need and want more structure on offense, but they want more creative stuff and stuff that they actually practice so that it has a chance at being successful. Wallace is strong enough mentally that he usually just plays on but Felton isn't so he just gives up.
 
Yeah, so a little FYI.....Kevin Love can hit the 3 ball!
 
Just finished watching the game. We finally show some hustle but it was a very sloppy type of hustle. The refs didnt help at all, I felt like this was the worst reffed game in the RG all year long. They effectively took out our star player and let the wolves get away with a lot while giving us almost no leeway what so ever. I could go on about them but we more then the refs gave it away.
The players are pretty obviously not on the same page with the coach and themselves. Everyones trying to do something different out there and it leads to sloppy turnovers and some of the worst help defense and protecting the 3 i'v seen since 2005. It starts with the guards, Crawford and Felton just can't get into a rhythm with everyone else and they let their person blow by them with no help coming again and again and again. Batum while playing great seems to never make up his mind if he wants to go hard or finesse it and Wallace seems to be trying to do to much on most nights. The worst part is we seem content with losing.
I am a very optimistic person but if we dont make any roster moves or coaching moves we are just going to tred water this season. We need a miracle to get everyone on the same page or were going to end up not just with a lottery pick but a bad lottery pick (12 to 14).
