I am so impressed, that was just an awesome game. Team that never quits, loved it.
 
I ain't even mad. Killard is so freaking dope. I'm so hyped that we have two star level players after the shit luck we've had last couple of years.
 
While i was watching the comeback come to an end for the first time in my life i tried calling 1-800-blazers to see how much season tickets would be for the rest of the year, but it went to some recording about number not available lol, so i got online to look it up on there site and call. Funny how a loss just showed me so damn much, the chemistry, heart, skill you can feel something special watching this team. I havent called the blazers yet, but that was an awesome feeling seeing them fight against all odds against a team who no one cares about. Lil euphoria watching that fight to the end.

Like the end of Rocky. He battled and was against all odds, but put up a hell of a fight to make the fight respectable.

ADRIAN!!!!!!

Sorry about the Leonard thing. I honestly hate his play. He should be so much better if he really wanted it.

I think I was the last guy rooting for Babbitt too LOL Did you see Myers save that one possession? Blazers scored too! Shitty Blazers are people too :)

Lol yeah man. The funny thing was I was sooo hard on Babbitt too. Just wasted picks IMO.
 
Well, at least we can't say the Blazers have lost any games this year they deserved to win. It's not really that awesome. If you allow yourself to get down 30 points, you're playing some really shitty ball.

Where the hell was your reverse jinx tonight?! YOU lost us the game tonight, damnit! :MARIS61:
 
Made it respectable but at halftime I felt like that guy in Platoon, I've got a bad feelin about this one Sarge! Lillard is growing into a superstar before our very eyes, take comfort in that if nothing else I say

I'm a secrete mo hater. But he is an allstar compared to Leonard. That's how bad Leonard is

Mo is a veteran. Leonard is a kid. How good was Fropez at Leonard's age and experience level? Or Przybilla? Or Freeland? Or Asik for that matter. Meyers may never make it, but he deserves time.

I just don't like him at all. I don't like the way he plays scared.
 
Meyers is what? 21? I still think he's a power forward in a centers body though. Until he plays 20 minutes in a game I don't think anyone can gauge what he can do and that probably means we won't know until next season.
 
If CJ pans out, you'll be glad to have Mo on the bench to plug in when needed. Mo has made some big plays to help this team win games, he's always been a streaky player but he's also a game changer at times. I'm not a huge fan of Mo and Dame together on the court. Mo plays better with Wes at the 2. If CJ is Wesleys reserve and Mo is Damian's..it makes more sense to me. Leonard plays better with TRob than with LaMarcus ..just chemistry.

You said you were crying, so at first, I thought this was about the suicide hot-line.

I was dissapointed Leonard took 0 shots. I can handle Lopez 0 shots tonight, or Freelands 0 shots last night. They contribute a ton in other areas. But Leonard has great offensive skills, that the one solid skill he has. Outside of that skill he's not an NBA player. We were starving for points in that first half and the only reason to have Leonard on the court is to help our offense.

I like the idea of having Leonard play in place of LaMarcus. He can shoot long jumpers which I cringe at when TRob jacks them up. Tonight LaMarcus couldn't hit the ocean, it was a missed opportunity for Leonard to make an impact.

One thing I would like to see is to flash some strategic double teams and pack the paint. I like in theory how we rarely double to prevent role players from getting quality looks. But when the other team is having a layup fest we need to put a stop to it even if we give up some open threes. They had 52 points in the paint at the half! I noticed the same thing in the Toronto game. I'm surprised we don't play a zone either, it would be a good change of pace for just 3 or so minutes when a game like this happens. I'll be curious if Stotts makes any adjustments to this throughout the season.

But overall I'm glad the team gave it their all until the end. A lot of effort. You could see Minnesota lose their composure and force bad shots in the 3rd quarter. But we always play our game, even when struggling. Tonight the team was tired and they team couldn't make shots in the first half. It happens, you only need to win 4 of 7 games to get the title. Encouraging loss and I'll take a 3-1 road trip every time.
