    This loss hurts more then a 20 point loss would.

    With this loss, #Blazers' last six defeats have been down-to-the-wire, by five points or less.

    Were starting to sound like the Timberwolves now lol

    Exactly. We completely stopped doing what got us into the game, and just starting doing that "stand around and watch LA" bullshit.

    I guessed a 2 point loss when we took the lead. This league is too predictable with the officiating, Cuban tithes too much to the church of silver to get embarrassed like that.

    Aldridge got us back into the game but he was completely awful last two minutes. Just awful.

    Season over.

    Maybe we'll fall down to the 7th seed and play the Spurs? Might be able to go seven games with them, only positive i can come up with.

    We did that a lot in the 3rd quarter, when he scored 18 points, and it got us back into this game.

    This team has an uncanny ability to make games close. It seems that no matter WHAT happens, the game will go down to the wire....even if it means coming back from 30 point deficeit. Portland went up by 11, meaning they outscored Dallas by a 41 points during a stretch of the ballgame, and they still choke it away at the end.

    We're 3-9 in close games since the Miami loss. They just fall apart mentally.

    Not true. What got us back into the game was Aldridge dominating in the post.

    This is a bitter one to swallow and you just know were going to have a hangover from this game against the Rockets.

    The bottom line is if they would have fought and extended themselves just a lil bit more defensively, we wouldn't be discussing this.

    That and whatever end of the game identity they had at the beginning of the season is not there. Not what you want to see with a month and a half left.

    What a frustrating loss! I'm gonna play some NBA 2K14 to make myself feel better.
