    Stotts needs to get a T to show the refs the lack of calls on our drives is BS when they call it the other way. We dont' deserve the calls the way we are playing but you gotta call it bothways.

    I don't think I have ever seen so many missed wide open shots.

    Thank you for discussing a difference of opinion in a civil, reasoned manner.

    Dame outplayed him last time we played them. And this ain't over. OKC is awful in second halves this year. Especially fourth quarters. Let Westbrook get his triple double. We'll take the win.

    I think the exhaustion is finally getting to Dame and this team. And it couldn't come at a worse time.

    We get lots of rest after this road trip is off. Lots of home games. Lots of easy to beat opponents. We're good.

    Rooting for that. But 0 indication of it.

    Especially with Terry's inability to make meaningful adjustments in games

    I can take one game and look at numbers too.

    Westbrooks 28-15-9

    Lillard - 31-9-7

    We won.

    It's freaking one game. LOL.

    People forget simple things around here, it seems. lol.

    It's one game. (Cue the obligatory "it's been a pattern" post.)

    (This is not directed at you KS, I am in agreeance with you.)

    Russ is really taking Dame to the woodshed. He looks like the best player in the NBA right now I mean good god. We need to seem some fight in the 2nd half, some of these open shots will go down but the big guys just look pathetic against Adams, Ibaka and Kanter. Even Kyle Singler looks to be on a higher level than a few Blazers. Kyle Singler!!
    Need to see some leadership from Dame right now, he doesn't look like he came to guard Russ and that sets a tone for the rest of your team. When your best player doesn't show up, that sets an example. This trip isn't going to get any easier and you need to put that half behind you and start competing with this team. Right now you're just getting your asses handed to you.
