    What did we learn?
    Blazers lack talent! This is pretty obvious when your backup PG is a guy named Keon Johnson.
    It’s also pretty evident when your starting center is a guy named Drew Eubanks.

    they were missing curry AND wiggins. we were the more talented team on the floor tonight.

    just overmatched in bbiq, and piss poor coaching. and we have very few guys who actually give a shit and do the dirty work because we traded away the one guy who did that stuff for an inefficient chucker.

    There is no question we have roster problems. But anyone who wants to see Lillard win here has to know Billups is not going to help that happen.

    Giving up 20+ leads is one thing. Giving up 20+ leads and end up almost losing by 20 is next level.

    The offense is as much a problem as the defense.

    Lillard has to do better than what he did tonight to get wins. I get he's tired from 71, but damn.

    And still put way more talent on the court with Klay Poole Looney and Green.

    Yeah, he basically turned this from a win to a loss.

    How many times we lose after leading double digit this season? I can’t track how many, 10? 15 games?

    Agreed with you that Billups is not the best coach out there, like you said, probably not top half of the league (like we used to have in Stotts).

    However, the blame the coach and bad effort takes after every loss are so lazy. It's painful.

    The trailblazers were ahead by 17 points at halftime.
    The one thing that Billups had to do was absolutely positively keep the Blazers scoring in the 3rd quarter. And not allow golden state to shut down the Blazers offense, like they have done so many times in the past.
    He seems to have no interest in doing this.

    GSW’s strategy against Dame has always been blitzing and sending 2 defenders at him high on the court. This team looked like this was the first time they saw this.
