    That's cause we're awesome on the road. Bodes well for playoffs. If we lose one at home, we have the confidence we can steal one on road.

    hate to say it, but this is true. These guys play with more passion on the road than they do at home.

    Not that the team is the best team in the west, but theyre sure as hell doing their best not to put any distance between them and OKC and San Antonio.

    I'll take "Stupid Comments" for $200 Alex.


    Answer: "The Blazers are coming down to earth." "The Blazers deserved to lose."


    What are "things idiots say after a Blazer loss"?

    Correct! Go again.

    Bitching about the refs is for losers. Winners win, losers bitch.

    And the Blazers lost because Give Me Mo Playin' Time Williams was +14 but only played 24 min.

    Game.

    the blazers did deserve to lose. They came out flat, had many mental lapses, played horrible defense and relied too much on a shot that wasn't going down. Now while you may not feel that they deserved to lose, it doesn't give you the right to call those who express that opinion an "idiot".

    Our strong start gives us some leeway for a loss here and there. Today was a statistical anomaly for the most part. We went like 5-25 in the fourth and were awful from 3pt all night.

    Give PHL credit for running our shooters off the 3pt line, but teams like LAC/OKC/IND etc did the same thing and we still came out on top. Gotta stick to our strengths and make sure our numbers regress to the mean.

    But what we can control is defense, and it has been awful all season long. Perimeter players especially need to focus on keeping guys in front. Our opponent guards get into the lane way too easily.

    That's also bullshit simplistic way of looking at it, because referees CAN decide the outcome of a game. Of course, to really analyze that accurately, you'd need to go back and review every call made or missed in the entire game. If the balance is >= the margin of victory, then yes, the refs did decide the game.

    I don't know how you can blame the refs for this one.

    We shot 6 more Free throws.

    We could have tied on a free throw.

    We played piss-poor defense, we shoot very poorly from the perimeter, and we gave up a pretty big little lead in the 4th quarter, and yet we still had a chance to win or tie. This one is on us.

    We're still 18 games over .500. No one really expected this. I'll take these anomalous games as long as it doesn't become a trend.

    When we beat Indiana, SA, etc there was much excitement and were told it's just one game. This has to be viewed as the same, all of it is 1 game out of 82. Perspective is key.

    All that said, for THIS game, we lost. It was our fault. Ah well. Again, 1 out of 82.

    You just respond to something that said "If you say (x), you are an idiot" and then proceeded to say (x). Brilliant.

    Do I have brain control, or should I believe you when you label yourself by responding as you did?

    Joel was too shattered by this to play more minutes.

    I'm surprised he even suited up.
