Too bad. We don't need five threads all saying the same things. Feel free to bash the team in here though.
Re: The Blazers got there ass's handed to them tonight. Someone who gets upset about a discouraging loss and says so is not a troll. He's a fan.
I understand your point, but it's not just the loss-- it's the WAY they lost. This Blazer team has some serious flaws, and they were on full display tonight.
Re: Can you feel the mediocrity tonight? I stopped watching the Blazers towards the end of last year, but watched this game with renewed interested. Don't know how long I'll care to watch this team though. This team is just full of a bunch of pansies, like Batum. It's not entertaining.
We have a lot of new pieces, especially off the bench. To expect them to all click off the bat is a little much. We looked like a team with a lot of fixable flaws but no matter what we won't fix them all this season. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
Would you like to make a wager on who ends up with the better record? It's not about the W or L. It's all about where the team is heading and how the roster is built. The Heat are championship contenders The Blazers are #8seed contenders W's or L's won't change that fact. It's not about 1 game. It's the fact we saw more of the same from the Blazers tonight, and that's mediocre basketball. You think a 5-game winning streak drastically changes the fact that that's Portland's ceiling? All this game did was highlight the fact the Blazers are buried deep in mediocrity.
You saw what you wanted to see and you can justify it anyway you want. We sucked and there is no excuss for that but to expect that to be the norm or close the norm is overreacting. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
Evan Turner was available. Shoulda had him. Also, I'll make an amendement. Philly is good -- and looks a hell of a lot better than we did against a shitty team. Don't laugh, you know it's true.
I don't get rationalizing our loss by pointing out other strange losses around the league (like PHL over MIA, CLE over BKN, or SAC over DEN, etc). Bottom line is we still got our asses handed to us by a really shitty team and looked like we haven't improved at all from last season. Ya it's one game. Hopefully, we wake the fuck up. Or this season will go sour quick with all the competition in the west.
It's to illustrate that anyone can lose to a shitty team on any given night, and Phoenix has been a huge problem for us. Bledsoe and Dragic have both been Blazer killers.
