    Missing the playoffs is actually a possibility

    We'll know a lot more after the next road trip

    It would also be nice if Lillard could learn how to shoot again. He finally starts to improve his finishing at the rim and then his jumpshot disappears. He could be unguardable if he can get them going at the same time.

    Took our best effort to win this one, though I guess we really did play like ass for at least the first half.

    I think Terry is pretty good coach and game manager. Even more I think he is a pretty intelligent guy. I think he sees the woes on the defensive side and I personally think he will make the changes in the offseason. I believe he has one more year to prove he can get this together.

    If he doesn't, he will be gone.

    That, and the refs. They were TERRIBLE on both sides... they'd let obvious contact go, but call ticky tack, then flip it, and change whenever they felt like it. There was no consistency to the game. A typical Brothers' Production on an NBA floor.

    This will be unpopular but can't shake this whole Damian Lillard is overrated feeling.

    I hope proves me wrong in years to come. But it's a feeling that is setting in.

    And what sucks with those is 5-8 of those are probably within 4 points... all winnable games.

    He's only in his 2nd year. If he can shoot like he did in the first half of the season and finish like he's been doing lately he's going to be a big time scorer and offensive threat, his assists would also probably go up as well.

    I dunno. I don't see him as overated... now that's he's finishing at the rim. I think he really focuses on one thing and then just does it as much as he can, and forgets to implement the rest of it. Next year is going to be his REAL break out year... when he takes a summer off and sees all the tape from this year, he'll see that. I think he's on the right track... his 3rd year could be a real thing of beauty, IMO.

    I see no difference between Batum and Mo. Think of their darting rat-in-a-maze styles. Their sometimes-great shooting. Their errors in passing and dribbling.

    Refs are going to be the death of the NBA. Absolutely cannot stand them.

    That's not much of an explanation. My stomach feels upset, but I know why. I had too much pie. :lol:

    I just think he is limited.

    And in the end, that will hurt what he ever achieves.

    the reason that we lose the bigames by 3 or fewer.. gives me hope that we can change it in the playoffs.. this is possible.. definetly.. not every match goes wrong for us.. so believe in the matches that we have won in close situations.. this team has the clutch ability but has lost this for a time.. i hope they get it back in the playoffs ore 2 weeks before the playoffs :D:D

    ok guys im out for tonight.. Milwaukee game looks like a easy win by 50 points haha:D:D
