    I love Batum and think the douches that blast him are maroons. But tonight, he deserves a blasting.

    Tonight is why he isn't a max player.

    Games like that, against scrappy undermanned teams, suck ass. Now we know what every opponent of Nateball thought about our games. Score says a win, but it feels like a loss because it was a shitty game played at their shitty level.

    That 4th quarter was longer than my last colonoscopy.

    Right now, if I'm Neil I'm looking to make a deal that include Mo, Wright, and Robinson. Asik is still floating out there, right? I wonder if Houston would like to have Robinson back :lol:

    What does that say about our team since he is the best passer on it?

    We wouldn't have kept him if he were a max player.

    I know the 3 early fouls messed us Lillard's flow but he really had an awful game, really forced some bad shots

    It wasn't THAT bad.

    14 points off 3-10 shooting, 4 assists, 5 boards, 1 steal, and 1 block in 30 minutes.

    He's had much worse games.

    I'd say we deserved to win last night, but did not deserve this game, so it came out in the wash.

    I don't buy that "we didn't have time to scout them" bullshit. This was basically Ricky Rubio and the T-Wolves bench against our full-force team. We'd have not beaten a full force Wolves team tonight.

    But anyway, it was nice to see CJ have a great game! I think he's a piece off the bench. We need to upgrade everything else off the bench though. I don't miss Mo Williams at all.

    I also think Portland needs to find a new way to defend those high picks. It seems that every time the team sits a high pick, the opposing guard gets around and has a wide open lane, then he hits whoever rotates over.

    Batum: every game the guy throws multiple bad passes. I mean, just shitty passes that you know are going to be picked off the moment they leave his hands. He needs to clean that up.

    The defense is a huge issue and that will be magnified come playoff time.

    Didn't deserve to win? GTFO with that. We led the last 8 minutes of the game - that was not something we stole at the end like the Pacers did last night. It certainly was not a sterling performance, but we did what we had to do.

    You obviously don't watch the NBA very often. Miami fans must be slitting their wrists right now.
