    BOBCATS loss and the 76ers loss at home upset me.


    we missed 15 free throws BEFORE overtime vs the Bobcats. Think about that.


    And 3 games that drove me insane watching.... the game vs the grizz coming out of the all star break (night before trade deadline) and the clippers game in LA on Jan 27th and finally the twolves game where foye missed a wide open 3 to win it.

    Farking Clippers.

    Though I still would claim under oath that that game never happened and the Blazers played only 81 games this season.

    Orlando Magic for me. We had that one wrapped up and we were going to sweep the series with the win. They were down 8, and somehow made three consecutive 3 pointers. I listened to that one on the radio, but could still somehow feel the Blazers pain that day. And it was our first home loss too.

    The Philly loss bothered me the most. Probably because 1st place was for the taking and we choked.

    I agree with this, except I was there.

    Agree with both on Orlando.

    Clippers was one of those oddities; Blazers were coming off long road trip, had played late game (started 8 PM our time) in Utah night before, arrived home middle of the night. Under ordinary circumstances would have had a day off. LA opening night was a total bummer but then they were not really in the game. IMO the ones that hurt most are the ones you have put in the win column, then somehow...

    About how San Antonio & Memphis were left feeling last week.

    Agree the home philly loss. Had an opportunity for Division lead. And then we'd be in prime position now with Denver still being able to win against Sacramento.

    I'll have to admit, that loss in Charlotte was cruel. Unfortunately, I was there for that debacle. It's also the night I was convinced KP should go after Gerald Wallace.

    I know! What is it with your team and the Bobcats? You've lost twice to them this season!

    And that Philly loss? I don't understand how you could let Iggy shoot an uncontested three at the buzzer.

    Dallas loss on Christmas. I walked to the RG in the fucking snow only to see the Blazers roll over like a bitch. They didn't put as much effort into the game as I did getting to the game. I was really, really pissed about that game.

    In fact it is safe to say I am still really pissed about that game.

    As was I.

    That loss burned me.

    I am still mad, right now, about Leon Woods.

    What the fuck is up with that guy?

    I seriously wonder if he is a crooked ref.

    Definitely the Philly game. We were bullied by their defense, and never played through it. if we had that one to do over...

    You can stop wondering and achieve certainty.
