There no ifs in basketball it only you do it or don't it that just bottom line. To me the word if for excuse why someone didn't accomplish something on the court.

Absolutely not true but that is your perspective so i can agree to disagree on this.
 
Dame was more a SG than a PG coming out of College. And he still looks to me like a SG.
The excuse that Dame is trapped is just an excuse. We have guys on the team who can handle the ball decently enough like Turner/CJ.
Why can't we run screens for Dame to get him open shots? What has happened to Dame's midrange game?
Stotts still hasn't learned from the Pelicans series from last year and the previous 2 series against the Warriors.
This is really sad, when your coaching staff is incompetent.

I was looking for this also. It's there. He could take that 10 foot jumper quite often.

Dame does need to work on terminating his dribble short instead of always fishing for a whistle on a layin. If he had an assortment of pull-ups and tear-drops, the defense would be able to anticipate him always going to the rack...they'd be more off-balance. And he'd actually be likely to draw more fouls that way

Full of BS tonight? What else have I said that is "BS". I don't think its BS. San Antonio is not a small market. They had Popovich. They got star players. Milwaukee won in the 70's. They may win again this year but they are in the east.

Yeah best players. The best players don't cone to Portland in FA. The Stars stay away from here. Its been that way. It will continue to be. I love this team. I'd love for them to win it all. I just dont see it. I don't expect it.

I’d actually agree with you on this Chris, but everyone of you know why that other small market teams can attract all stars but Portland can’t. No night life..,KEEP PTOWN WIERD yippee. Maybe we can get Channing and Robin back to PTown because that’s about as good as it’s going to get. Call me an A-hole. It it’s the reality and it’s depressing. This is coming from a guy that was born the same year the franchise was originated and was there with his father for the the 77 Championship at the Coliseum.

Yea man Chris your a good man. I was giving you guys a hard time tonight just because I feel the pain. Mostly what I stated was the truth. I was their in 77 with my Dad and his friends. I’ll never forget it the coliseum was absolutely rocking even at 6 years old I knew it was special. I’ll never forget it. To this day it was one of the best days of my life. The parade after and just the entire city connected was unforgettable. I was the guy that went to the Hillsboro airport to meet the team after coming back into town in the early 90’s championship runs. Wow it’s been a ride.
 
I have no expectation whatsoever

Don’t give up hope. Here’s what has to happen. Zack has to START from game one next year. He also has to swallow his ego just enough to get the Refs off his back or he has to get a new haircut because although I like it the Refs don’t. Nurk has to get healthy completely by mid season and start coming back into game form. The only way the pressure can be relieved from Dame. Is our front court has to be our dominant offensive and defensive asset. Once he is relieved of the pressure then this team can advance. This is as long as Durant moves onto the Knicks.

I think I'd be.....booing..

A few hours ago it was all sunshine and rainbows, now you're saying you'd be booing? At least be respectable enough to stick by your team if you're going to go down that path.
 
I know we are not winning this series and now we know Dame’s separated rib injury but I would like us to win at least 1 game.

There were some people were fucking hammered tonight at the game. Including one guy in Blazer gear was being removed by security took his beer and threw it in the crowd. Not sure what he said or did but the entire Blazer bench was pointing him out to security.

I saw that too. It was entertaining in an otherwise very disheartening second half. The two security workers had a difficult time trying to get him up the stairs; he was a big guy.

On my way out of the game, right by the doors, someone spilled their beer from the walkway up above. Luckily I avoided it, but the person I was talking with got a little shower. At least he had his coat on. I'm not sure if it was a disgruntled Blazers fan trying to hit the two Warriors fans in front of me, or a Warriors fan trying to get all of us. Couldn't see who did it. All I know is, that person is a fucking asshole, and I hope they get theirs.

Lol blame it on me
 
Shout out to Meyers Leonard! He was our only player who gave 100% wire to wire.

This was only his third start for the season. He was the reason we had a 13 point halftime lead.

If all of our players had’ve played with the same intensity, we would have won.

We stopped running the offense thru him in second half. More Meyers in Game 4.

Most of the fanbases in NBA would give everything to be in our spot. The difference is, when you're at this spot, you want more. And we're just not good enough for that one more step.

Agree with the first two sentences. The last one though I disagree. This team could beat the Warriors right now.

why do you guys who trash Dame all the time even bother with the obvious fucking lie "I love Dame". Tonight, I've seen 3 different guys who have spent the last half-dozen game threads bashing Lillard say "I love Dame but...". It's pathetic and nobody who has paid any attention believes it for a second. Just own your fucking bile and bash without the lie
Click to expand...
Yes, exactly! Take your hate for CJ as an example! I never see you say "I love CJ, but...."

:tongue2:
 
Overall pretty disappointing, I just don’t see the hunger I saw in the okc series, I also wonder if maybe we have just run out of gas? Seems crazy but I see a lot of mental lapses and lazy basketball being played, especially in the second halves. Overall I’m thrilled we made it this far and hope we are able to find a way to retool the F positions in the off-season.

Go Blazers
 
Lillard has to change his style of play in the offseason completely, it's allways the same: bring the ball up court, waiting for the screen, waiting waiting waiting and then comes the double Team and then he has to pass to a teammate, while there is only half of the shot clock. His style of play is good in the regular Season, but when the Playoffs starts and the defense get's more aggressive he's lost

It's our offense. We don't have any plan if they double team Lillard. That's on Stotts.

Unfortunately it'll never change unless we get a new coach with a great idea like Steve Kerr for Curry.
