    I don't see us losing this game but I also don't see us blowing them out which we should. Magic have been getting killed by teams lately. Our defense is just horrible lately.

    Playoff team? Perhaps. Getting out of the first round with this defense and not getting rebounds that hit the floor? Nope.

    I know it's a bit farcical, but every Blazer is between a +1 and -6 in +/- except for Mo, who's -13.

    Blazers should just play four 4th quarters a game.

    Big Baby looks like he's flopping all over the place.

    I just think it's effort. We haven't had the intensity the last few games at all. We got to a point where we thought we could coast on shitty teams and we're finding out that this is simply not the case. When you're at the top of the conference, teams will bring their "A" game every night and you can't coast. We thought we could just turn it on, but you hit a point where you can't turn it on late in every game and expect to win. That's why we've been losing so many close games lately.

    Mo this year is like JJ Hickson last year. His stats look good and he can produce but his guy produces just as much or more then he does and in the end he is just hurting the team.

    I don't get that. Baby falls all over himself and LA gets the foul? I guess we (the refs) are gonna make sure the momentum stays with Orlando.

    If just Damian did he'd be MVP.

    Are they going to give up sixty first half points to the Magic?
