Oh fudge! We beat the #$%* Magic! Complaint Thread

Re: Oh fuck! We lost to the #$%* Sixers! Bitch thread

Did you feel my comment was directed at you? Cause it wasn't.

Portland lost because they could not make a basket, and gave up 21 points off turnovers. This happens when a good team plays a bad team that plays YMCA, 1-on-1 basketball a majority of the time. It's hard to adjust. It's a different mindset. It requires even more concentration than with some of the better teams. But that this is really Portland's first real let down in 34 games is hardly something to gripe about.

Miami, SA, IND, OKC, they all lost to bad teams. It's just one game.

Hard to point fingers when the whole team shot poorly though. Dame was at least trying to get into the paint and draw fouls. We just seemed completely out of rhythm last night. It happens. This is one side effect of being a three point shooting team. There are going to be games where you make 21 threes, and there are going to be games where you go 3-21. It just happens. If we hit even 3 or 4 of those threes last night, we win the game easily.

The most concerning thing to me is our defense. We can't seem to keep people out of the paint, and a lot of that has to do with poor perimeter defense. Our guards can't seem to keep their man in front of them. Can't hang all the blame on our big guys who try to come over to help, which puts them out of position to get a rebound or prevent their own man from scoring.

I don't mind a night when our shot isn't falling. There's not much you can do about that. I just wish we were a better defensive team. We had a decent lead in the 4th and we just blew it. Wasn't it like 7 or 9 points? We started bricking shots and never could get a stop.

 

Re: Oh fuck! We lost to the #$%* Sixers! Bitch thread

It was a crap game on offense. Shit happens.

OR

He "came back down to earth", meaning, he is always this bad, and it is a dream when he shoots any better. You know, because words have meaning and stuff. lol

 

Re: Oh fuck! We lost to the #$%* Sixers! Bitch thread

Throwing crap at the wall to explain what happened and appease frustration is bound to happen after a bad loss. But the defense wasn't the issue. It was turnovers, giving up 21 points off turnovers, and 36% shooting. Can't really fault the D when you give the ball up and it leads to a fast break.

 

Re: Oh fuck! We lost to the #$%* Sixers! Bitch thread

We were jacking up shots at one end and then allowing fast break layups at the other end. That's bad defense, plain and simple.

 

Re: Oh fuck! We lost to the #$%* Sixers! Bitch thread

It's by design, in general. But yes, the Blazer back court struggles to stop penetration. But that's not why the Blazers lost. Portland shot 36%, gave up 21 points off 18 turnovers and only lost by 2. lol Think about that. Portland out rebounded Philly 19-6 on the offensive glass.

 

Re: Oh fuck! We lost to the #$%* Sixers! Bitch thread

What does missing shots have to do with defense? Missed shots make it harder to get back on D. Is that a problem of the defense, or the offense? Hint: Off

 

Re: Oh fuck! We lost to the #$%* Sixers! Bitch thread

It all boils down to effort. If you shoot a long three, you need to get back on defense to prevent your man from leaking out for a fast break.

 

Re: Oh fuck! We lost to the #$%* Sixers! Bitch thread

I just threw up in my mouth a little. At least I have some awful communion bread and wine to look forward to.

 

Re: Oh fuck! We lost to the #$%* Sixers! Bitch thread

lol speak for yourself.

I'm not into moms. That's Mickzagger's department.

 

Re: Oh fuck! We lost to the #$%* Sixers! Bitch thread

When the 3's and outside shots aren't falling, we need to find ways to get to the line. Also, the passes last night were about as lazy as I've seen. This is becoming a real problem. Lastly, let's look into Claver or Crabbe at the backup 3 for minutes.

 

Re: Oh fuck! We lost to the #$%* Sixers! Bitch thread

The Blazers didn't deserve to win that game. They came out with zero energy and went through the motions early on and fell behind 16-2. They picked it up and gave themselves a chance, and it's a credit to them that they still could have won despite shooting 3 for 21 on threes, but it's a good reminder to them that they can't rest on their laurels.

 

Re: Oh fuck! We lost to the #$%* Sixers! Bitch thread

Hard to win a game when your starting PG has a 1:6 assist to turnover ratio.

 

Re: Oh fuck! We lost to the #$%* Sixers! Bitch thread

Fucking Blazers. Fuck 'em all.

Fuckers.

 

Re: Oh fuck! We lost to the #$%* Sixers! Bitch thread

What happened to, "You can't put a cuss word into a non-OT thread title anymore or it will show on the official Blazer sites."

 

Re: Oh fuck! We lost to the #$%* Sixers! Bitch thread

Umkay,

Who here thinks a player with a 11.9 PER (his second worst of his career behind his rookie year) is worth a shit.

Mo Williams has played like shit this year, and defending him is simply a mechanism for an argument.

I think this edited has me on ignore though, so the edited won't see this
