    Aldridge has taken only 6 shots, and Roy only 5.

    That's why we're losing. The wrong people are shooting.

    We should be down by like 35 points right now. I can't believe it's only a 12 point game. Portland better feel lucky they are not down 30. They can still pull their heads out of the asses and win this game, but Nate needs to get forget about Channing.

    And LaMarcus needs to find his mojo again. What the hell us up with him? He's afraid to take on Arthur the rookie and Warrick the tweener.

    That's not what I saw... I saw Aldridge going into the paint when he got the ball... in fact... he was the only guy going into the paint on our team. He just wasn't getting calls.

    We're fine. That three pointer was huge. We'll win this game comfortably. Not worried.

    Also- blaming the refs is stupid. We're shot horribly and didn't take care of the ball. That's not the refs' fault.

    Sort of agree that we'll win. Either way, this team has issues.

    Nah. Every team has off nights, but the good ones win anyway. Look at the Lakers the other night. They blew a 19 point lead in the last 6 minutes of the game against the Clippers, but they won and are still the #1 seed in the west. Having bad games happens to every team.

    But when the rest of the team is turning the ball over, playing shitty defense, and shooting long jumpers.... how can you attribute this to the refs? Yes, Oden/Prz/Aldridge are getting shafted... but that is the least of our problems.

    Nah. That three by Roy turned this game around. Memphis knows they're done.

    And Nate benches Joel for the half with TWO fouls??? TWO FOULS? Coaches usually bench full time starters in the 2nd quarter when they get 3 fouls. But we have Joel and Oden.


    Nate needs to hire a fucking assistant to manage his substitutions. I don't know how well Nate coaches otherwise, but his substitution patterns are absolutely retarded.

    Joel came back in the second quarter, but when your starter gets 2 fouls in the first couple minutes... what do you do? And then Oden follows that up with three first half fouls....

    The first problem was the very poor defense we played. Some of that was Ref's, but most was just our lack of pressure on the ball. Memphis had good pressure on the ball (maybe a little too much) though. The pressure made the Blazers rush their play. Or so it seems to me.

    Blake is the leading rebounder in the game.
