    He was saving something. He was the lowest scorer out of all 10 starters on the floor.

    Blazers win Points in the Paint, 64-54. That's surprising

    I was late for this game, why didn't Jones play? Was it because of the LMA hate crime he put on him the last time these two teams played?

    Now we'll win in OKC... we always get pissed off after losses.... maybe that's why it happened?

    Poor shooting? 45.4 is pretty exactly the Blazers average on the season.

    Well that was frustrating as hell to watch, but surprisingly I'm not too bummed. I would have been satisfied going 2-2 before this trip and that's already guaranteed. Hard to win when another team is just lights out from 3. Take the loss and move on.

    Batum made himself a marked man when he told the media he is the 2nd-best SF after Durant in the West.

    The two teams Portland has to avoid in the first round (or any round) is Phoenix and Houston.

    Phoenix is fine as long as Bledsoe is still out.

    I think Chandler Parsons might disagree with you.

    Yeah, Nic was thoroughly dominated by Parsons tonight. What LMA did to Terrence Jones type of embarrassing.

    They are in the same tier but Parsons certainly made the case for the second best SF in the West.

    Dallas beat us, they won't have to worry about any back to backs in the playoffs. Memphis was flirting with .500 for two months without an allstar defensive player of the year. The west first round is going to be insane no matter what.

    Last two losses have been followed by a loss.

    I'd be ecstatic if we played Phoenix. Fans are severely overreacting to regular season losses.

    But mostly I just want the Blazers to finish with the highest seed possible. If they get a top two seed they'll be playing a struggling team. To make any real noise we'll have to bring it in the playoffs. Better to worry about what we need to do.

    Houston came out with a lot of energy and they couldn't miss from three. Shake it off and beat the Thunder.

    watching on delay, here are my first half comments: Batum, how many times you gonna let parsons beat you?
    Leonard, don't ever apologize to a little bitch like harden.
    think maybe that was your guy, Mo, sho just slashed to the basket when you turned your back?
    thanks again Batum; you plan on showing up any time tonight?
    sleeping again, Mo?
    way to work, La Marcus.

    2nd half:nice blockout, Lillard (in green)
    I really don't like Harden.
    good collapsing on Howard and then nice block by Lopez!
    finally, Wes!
    open shooter; oh what do you know, Mo is back in the game!
    yeh, Lillard!
    that's two goal tends we got screwed on.
    I'm liking me some McCollum.
    Nice!
    good hustle again LMA.
    He really struggled offensively; never seemed to get the ball in a comfortable position.
