    So happy with the loss, but as a coach trying to win, why in the world would you not have Babbitt in the game down by three and needing a 3 pointer?

    Tonight was the night that I actually thought our coach wasn't trying to win. The substitutions were not like his past games.

    Don't you think that had something to do with Crawchuck being out though?

    Man, what are you talking about? I would think you would be nominating Felton for the MVT (Most Valuable Tanker) award. He was instrumental in ensuring the loss by putting on his clown suit and dribbling the ball off of his foot on one possession and then allowing a Jazz player to swipe away the Blazers' last chance at tying the game on a simple in-bounding play.

    We would have won that game if not for Feltank snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

    I've never felt so conflicted about a player in a Blazers uniform. On the one hand, I hate his guts like I've never hated anyone before (even Sergio and Rudy during their pouty days) but on the other, the guy pretty much single-handedly moved our draft position 2 spots in one game, on two masterpiece choke-job possessions ... It's a real catch-22.

    I've never had less confidence in a player than Felton. And I'm including Ha Seung-Jin.

    Thabeet is terrible. The only player currently that is worse than Felton. If you are going to tank, then start Thabeet and play Felton until he drops.

    Guess it didn't hold. Matthews = 33 points (10-12)

    Wes had such a terrific game. I wonder if he's pissed that Feltank pissed it all away in the final minutes of the game.

    I saw the look on Matthew's face at the end of the game. I think he was pretty pissed.
