    and 1 guy they found wandering the streets of Oakland, you deserve to have this count as more than 1 loss. The team should be penalized with a loss tomorrow too.

    This is pathetic. This isn't "we're missing Outlaw", this is simply a loss that only 2 players don't get blamed for.

    Rudy and Greg are the only ones who showed up.

    don't blame the refs. This is all on the Blazers tonight. Weak D...not feeding Oden....and just dumb basketball with no passion. Sickening.

    Weak perimeter defense. Lousy 3-point shooting. Lack of fire and hustle.

    Tell me again - what is it about this team that has everybody so impressed?

    I think this team is being coached into oblivion. The players are showing little heart, but I think they lack chemistry and coherence.

    AccuScore said it was 72% that the Blazers would win.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/preview?gameId=291120009
    (upper right corner)

    (Although we're down to 11 players ourselves.)

    edit: It worked 5 minutes ago, but it updated to the final score and now doesn't show the AccuScore prediction.

    I'm working on it ... how about this? KP kept a 2nd round injured 4th point guard instead of signing Ime Udoka to fill out his roster. Does that do it?

    I thought KP and Nate both wanted Ime, and Paul Allen (you know, the guy who owns the team) wanted Mills.

    Certainly does.

    Ime would come in handy right now. Instead he is helping the Kings rack up wins. Not sure they really wanted that out of him when they signed him.

    Shhhhh ... I'm trying to make a point here, don't clutter it with "the facts"

    Actually Ime has been playing pretty badly. He's shooting even worse than Martell and Blake if you can imagine that.

    Frankly I don't think Ime would matter all that much, we'd still be missing the hell out of Nicolas and even Travis and getting pretty much zero positive production from the position.

    I can even understand it with Oden in an attempt to make him more aware of his foul situation.

    But LaMarcus on the bench for 18 minutes in the first half?


    That was just insane.



    You know you are doing a piss poor job when you get out coached by a gin soaked geezer who looked like he didn't even recognize his own players.

    If Pritchard had done something right since the midseason deadline, we'd be a less confused team.

    Naaah, you're right, I'm being too tough on Pritchard. I exaggerated in that sentence.

    The sentence should be simpler--If Pritchard had done ANYTHING since the midseason deadline, we'd be a less confused team.
