    What a huge loss and a terrible game to watch. How depressing.

    If this was against Playoff competition do you think we would have been in a position to win at the end? I don't either.

    I don't dispute that at all. The refs sure as hell made it more difficult.

    Unless you first catch the ball in the back court illegally

    The bad calls by the refs were waaaaay too desperation to be something to complain about for this loss. I agree, couple of calls that probably should have gone the Blazers way, but they were such stretches to try to win the game I don't think anyone should use that as the excuse.

    We had a horrible last 8m of the fourth. We will have games that we can't hit the broad side of a barn and those games the D will need to step it up and wev had way too many close games where we have had the D step up at the end of the game that maybe we just assume our D will be there under 3.

    Outside of a couple good quarters by LMA, everybody played terribly tonight. Well, except Lopez and Leonard. LMA was shit down the stretch, Wes was terrible for all but a few possessions, Lillard sucked the whole game.

    This was just a really flat effort on all of the players' parts from start to finish. Even with a few bursts of fight, they always took their foot off the gas and settled in when they got a little bit of a run. Just didn't seem interested in playing this game at all.

    Lillard dunked the game winner in our win over Phoenix. He should've dunked it here too.

    Shit it looks like Damian had a definite shooting percentage correction night to make up for Charlotte.

    It's still a bad idea. Teams are going to hammer you, and you can't expect the refs to bail you out with a couple seconds in the game. It's just not a good idea.

    The Blazers are coming down to earth. We need to chalking up wins with Westbrook and CP3 sidelined. Instead they lose to freaking Philly?

    I don't know what some of you are bitching about, I'm the only who predicted we wouldn't lose a game this year. The rest of you predicted we would lose some games. This is one of the ones you predicted.

    That never happened. Hawes jumped from behind the line, caught the ball, was fouled while catching the ball, then landed.

    Getting jumped at the start of the game.

    All the missed free throws (Wes+Robin)

    18 turnovers (Batum and Dame)

    All the missed shots

    They deserved to lose this game.
