?

On a scale of 1-10, how badly will the absence of Moe hurt the Blazers, coming down the stretch run?

    That’s because no one knows how to operate a pick and roll outside Dame.

    Baldwin does, but robocop will never give him a chance.

    This group is hilarious.
    Pat makes play after play on the court all night. But of course fan forums MUST... Absolutely must have someone to rag on and blame for losses. So this year Pat it is. Last year it was Meyers.
    Aminu shot 2-9 and 0-6 from 3 pt. Chief didn't have half the impact on the game Pat did on defense but he gets a pass from you guys because Pat Con is your whipping post this year.
    By the way Turner shot 2-9 and 0-3 from 3 point as well.
    Then of course you have Napier shooting 2-11 and 1-6 from 3pt. That doesn't help the situation much either.
    Pat shows up with 4 rebs, 2 blocks, 1 steal, and 2 asts night with 3 points and 1-4 from 3 but he gets completely dissed on this board.
    Sorry. But Pat Con shows up every second of every minute he is on the court.He never disappears and is in the mix every night. I'll take that anytime.

    Unless we miss the playoffs, lose home court or get a shitty match up because of it.

    Gasol played 20 minutes and scored 8 points. Evans is out for personal reasons. The rest of that team is garbage. They've just been putting 5 randoms on the floor and rolling the ball out and letting them play. It was our fault they won tonight.

    You don't know what your talking about. I saw 4 occasions where the Blazers bricked giving Nurk the offensive rebound and he scored off that. It was almost like a play we were running.

    Good post. Were all just frustrated. But there are players on the bench that are proving that they can't be trusted, and that could cost this team in the playoffs.

    Baldwin with as many FGs as Turner, Aminu and Pat...combined. All while playing less minutes than any of them.

    Funny stuff. So CJ was doing his best Curly Neal in hopes Meadowlark would save his bacon as well.

    It showed at tines yesterday. I got fucking BLASTED for pointing out a small stretch of horrible defense yesterday. He's the most overrated, inconsistent defender ever. Good defenders don't let a player on a 10 day contract go off in the 4th quarter. Brooks straight up cooked Evan Turner.

    Well "Amazing" might be stretching it a bit. He had a couple good plays and did not hurt the team. He seemed to get lost on defense but that is to be expected. No experience. He did not shoot free throws well but again that comes with experience. They kept him safe on defense for the most part and he did seem to have a knack for driving to the basket. But his tell is he switches to right from left almost exclusively. He will get scouted if he does not add to his moves.

    To be fair they were not guarding him like either Turner or Bazz.

    It happens to everybody. We will be fine. Even the Houston Rockets had a five game losing streak. Let's move on and win these next two home games and then. go back on the road one last time. We've shown we can beat playoff teams on the road. I'm not worried. And once the playoffs begin, none of this shit matters anymore. So let's just stay cool.

    One of the things KC and Hurd were pointing out and i believe it to be correct. Brooks just signed a 10 day and has absolutely no pressure on him to make those shots. He has not been heavily scouted and the Grizz are playing loose.

    Absolutely. Sometimes an opponent is gonna shoot like crazy and you're gonna lose. Happens to everyone. That's why playoffs are best of 7. Lose a game like that and you're okay, you have three losses to give.
