    Come on guys, they're missing 80% of their starters and they're still trying to get to know each other and they're implementing defense that even blind people can see isn't working.

    So we had 6 players on the court? Why not implement that logic every play and shoot every time?

    Very poor execution down the stretch. Yes guys have to make shots but some of that is on coaching.

    Big shot by Ant to make this a little more interesting.

    Nice pressure shot by Simons. The kid made some mistake but he not getting from this mistakes and continue to play that shows growth right there.

    When we're injured and playing a team that probably has a better lineup than us but lose because Stotts has no idea how to coach against pressure defense or deal with a trap on Dame.

    Need a miracle now to beat Houston. But the Blazers have already used up their Houston miracles with the Roy buzzer beater and Lillard one from years passed.

    When you know the whole team is improving it's easier to take them out
    We're nearly last in the league AGAIN even after adding two of the best defensive players in the league.

    It's most certainly shitty coaching.

    And yet, there's no accountability.

    We're just getting by on our talent.

    Inside 5ft tonight:

    Portland: 12-24
    Houston: 19-22

    We get more shots in close, but come up with 14 less points. Got to make the easy buckets when you're down 4 starters.
