    Kind of hard to rag on a guy who shot 15-26, for 33 points with 11 rebounds and 2 blocks. The game was lost when his teammates went 6-17, 3-14, 2-8, 2-7, etc.

    I don't hate Aldridge and even though he was doing great tonight, I just don't want him take that final clutch shot. Except maybe a couple times (like against Dallas last year) he usually misses. I'll take my chances with Lillard, Batum or a wide open Wes from 3.

    Aldridge can make that shot though. Sucks.

    Suddenly we're not a clutch team anymore. Only 10-4 now

    I am amazed at how we find ways to stay in games we have no business being in when we play so poorly.

    Yep. You could say we had no business coming close to winning. These last few games we probably should have been blown out. So it is a start but we have to shoot better at some point obviously.

    If we ever find a bench or a 6th man we will be good. You can tell our starters can only do so much. It is hard to depend on 4 of the 5 starters to do well each night with no other scoring coming from anywhere else.

    Part of it is not shooting so many long jumpshots. Really dissapointed in the entire teams decision making this game. Specifically Damian + the entire bench. (Fuckin Price man...)

    Nic Batum needs to fucking learn how to finish inside. The Blazers missed so many layups and open 3s, jacked up awful shots. I have no idea how we weren't blown out by 20 points, they looked like a bunch of lottery bound scrubs tonight.

    And once again, they wait till the 4th quarter to pull their heads out of their asses and come up short.

    That last layup attempt was a bad shot. Two guys right on him, he was basically hoping for the foul. Plus Matthews was open on the other side. (But it's not like he's been making layups either)

    Can you read? Where did I say he lost it for us? I merely said I would rather someone else take the final shot. lrn2read.

    And there goes our 9-game winning streak at home. Nic really didn't come through with his guarantee.

    The Blazers had so many face-palm moments this game...just a few less of those and we'd have won. This was a terrible game....
