    We actually led at one point this quarter. Horrible.

    How many times have the Spurs done that backdoor baseline cut?

    Yep. Spurs are a damn good team. But our teams execution didn't hurt their chances at all.

    Reminds me of the old John McKay quote when asked what he thought of his teams execution, and he said "I'm all for it"

    I'd be satisfied with a 4-2 road trip

    We definitely had the edge to start the game, but between Camby going down and the refts blowing, literally....

    spurs played hard but got a lot of help, from the Refs and the Blazers

    Unbelievable.

    That's a disgraceful effort on our behalf.

    Ive said it before, and I'll say it again. For a coach who is supposed to be a defensive minded coach, these Blazer teams sure are some shitty defensive teams. Pick N Rolls, three point shooters...its like they're allergic to them.

    I wonder how long before Nate completely goes away from the "fast tempo" offense because its "not working". Not that they haven't already made the turn towards Nate ball anyways.

    satisfied? Hell, I'd be flat out amazed if they won 4 games on this trip. It would be a miracle.

    Refs were bad, but yeah, Crawford and Felton were worse.

    Exactly. I can't count how many positions they dribbled the ball around the perimeter and didn't look to get the ball into the paint until 5-7 seconds left on the shot clock.

    Well, I'm going to go cheer for the Heat to beat the Nuggets.

    I wish we could see more of Nolan, if Brickton and Brickford keep missing shots

    If only we could trade Felton and Crawful for Dre and Rudy.

    sigh.

    Blazers aren't very good? Ask the Thunder, Clippers, Lakers, Nuggets and Sixers how good we are. We were playing the Spurs in their house where they haven't lost all year and things were just going their way, loose balls, long rebounds, etc.... Chalk it up as a loss. Boo-hoo. Losing sucks, sure. This is a strange shortened season and things are going to happen that make you scratch your head. The Lakers and Mavs started out horrendously. The dream team of Miami is getting worked on their west coast road trip.

    Now take a second, breathe, maybe take some Excedrin....

    We have a chance to redeem ourselves tomorrow and then this bipolar board will be jumping in jubilation again.

    Passionate fans are awesome, but level-headed passionate fans are sure hard to come by around here.

    Miami getting their tail whipped again, this time in Denver. I'm sure there's mass hysteria in Miami. Heat fans are doing excessive lines of blow, jumping off bridges in unison and banding together on message boards to peck away in all CAPS in their disgust.

    Disband that disgraceful team!!!
