    By pointing out all the flaws and disappointments we have in the team by no means we are not hanging with our team. The way they are playing is not even close to going to get it done in the playoffs and to do it with 1 game until playoffs is the worst time of the year. We are all fans just as much as anyone and want the team to do well, but it isn't a stretch to say the obvious which is they flat out are playing garbage ball.

    No. But he IS the one calling dumbass, pointless plays out of timeouts, like running the clock out for a 2 point shot....totally predictable by this point......instead of a 3, which we NEED.

    The guys aren't the problem (well, maybe a couple of them). It's "da man" that's the problem!

    We Suck as a 3rd seed in the West, not even sure if we win first round of the playoffs.

    We won't be 3rd seed when the POs start. And without a herculean effort from Dame, CJ, Nurk, and Harkless we won't get out of the first round.

    Maybe you should listen to yourself. It’s always negative and it gets very old. It’s a fucking game. Get over it.

    Shabazz Napier goes 2-10 FG yet Wade Baldwin gets a DNP-CD. Stotts has to be one of the worst in-game coaches in the league. Has no feel for the game and just can't adjust.

    Scratching my head, don't know what to think right now. Well looks like Blazers will end up in 5th.

    The most frustrating thing is you know Stotts isn’t going to call out CJ. He has no problem calling out Nurkic (even when he plays well!) but god forbid he says anything about that black hole we have at SG.

    Btw our best run in the second half came without CJ. As soon as he came in I told myself we’re gonna lose this lead, and fast. And we did. Like clockwork.

    Its hard man when we lose 4 in a row and are limping into the playoffs looking like we don't belong. Its a kick in the nuts.

    Dame missed 4 free throws that barely made it to the rim. And too many of his other shots were falling short. It’s a long season, they’re playing at altitude and Dame has a new baby at home. Shit happens. At the start of the season too many board members didn’t even think we’d have a winning record, let alone make the playoffs. I think we should be reasonably grateful for the season we’re having.

    Live and die by AmiNO.
    When teams don't have to guard Aminu it's 4 on 5 on the offensive end.
    3-13 and 1-8 from 3 point. He literally shot them out of the game again.
    Lillard 2-10 from three and Turner 0-4 didn't help.
    Then we have CJ with a 5-18 shooting performance.
    Shooting 33% and 21% from 3 point aint gonna win ya many games.
