    down 5, Aldridge hits off balance three

    Sixers make two FTs

    Lillard hits three to cut it to one

    Sixers throw the ball out of bounds

    Aldridge calmly backs Hawes into the paint and takes a 11 foot turnaround jumpshot that should've gone in but didn't

    Devastating

    At least the second time now that Dame has led a flurry back in the last min to not get a look. WTF is Stotts doing?

    There is something to be said about going with the hot hand. That and Lillard can create so much better. But it was a good shot by LMA. Tough call.

    A real all star would have made that shot.

    Without LMA's miracle 3, there would have been no last shot attempt. The Blazers were lucky to have a chance at the end.

    LMA is the first player this season with back-to-back 30/10 games.

    Tough miss at the end. I swore it was in.

    Crazy finish. Great games by LA and Lillard.

    Stotts gave all the close game shots to Lillard at the beginning of the season. He went with who he thought had a better match up tonight. Aldridge had a great look, didn't go down. Can't blame him.

    Remember when used to WIN all the close games? We were like 8-1.

    If we lose tomorrow, I wave the white flag.

    Anyone who has anything bad to say about Aldridge after tonight's game is only doing it for effect.

    By the way--since I didn't actually get to watch the game--was there a reason Hickson only played 16 minutes? Was he hurt, or ineffective, or what?

    And if we decide to go to LA , why was Hickson not in there to rebound a potential miss?

    I'm putting some of this blame on Stotts here. Really don't agree with his coaching in the last minute.

    Man just off. So close. And Matthew fought hard to get a chance to put it in.

    Every time you say this, the Blazers win.

    Every time you start gaining confidence, they lose.

    You should try being more like MIXUM.

    If only Wes or Nic could've shot a little better tonight, we would've won this game.

    He was terrible. And the matchups were not right.

    One of Lillard's best lines of the season:

    27 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists

    Fuck, Dame's missed FT was the difference in the game.
