    Wow. Joe Smith is shutting Oden DOWN.

    Oh, wait. Oden just doesn't get to touch the ball.

    He's working hard on the offensive boards but just not getting to anything yet.

    There's a lot of time left. We're playing like ass but we can definitely come back.

    I got a fever and the prescription calls for more jump shots late in the clock.

    He had an open lane to the hoop and was clobbered at the rim.

    Fire Nate! :NOTMARIS:

    But Ed, Joe Smith was a #1 pick. And we're young. Or something.

    And he wants a new PG and a new SF...

    Maybe he should follow a new team, like OKC?

    Thinking about it, yeah...if we're just going to shoot contested 20-footers (ahem, Roy), then you may as well have Travis doing it.

    It's just not this game. We could be a lot better if we had a more uptempo system. I've been on the Nate McMillan sucks ass bandwagon since last year.

    I think Nate is a very good coach. I also think Doug Collins is a very good coach. But I don't think either of them are capable of winning an NBA Championship. Nate has done a good job of developing the players, but to me it looks like the talent on this team is above his head, just like Collins in Chicago. Pretty soon Pritchard is going to have to take control of his team if the Blazers are going to reach the promised land.

    Outside of not getting the ball to Oden now we take him out anyway. What the fuck is wrong. We are losing by 20 points and we still can get the ball to Oden down low.

    "Hitting long twos with the shot clock running down is not what you want." - One of the Mike's.

    Unfortunately, that's been our offense.

    When are we allowed to criticize Brandon Roy for being lazy on defense, almost all year? It's not sacrilegious to criticize him is it?

    I hate stupid small ball. Our interior defense just gets even worse.

    Now it's Barrett saying it
    "They don't play much D, you can get back in the game."

    We have 35 points. They have 52. I think their D is just fine.
