    He tried drawing a foul. Most brain dead decision ever. What in the blue hell was he thinking?

    For only the 2nd time ALL SEASON, the Clippers came from behind to win after trailing at the end of the 3rd quarter.

    You can't touch Blake Griffin. New rule.

    Jamal Crawford was a good two feet in front of him. If he had just raised up and shot it he might have actually had a clean look. Instead he decides to lean in for whatever fucked up reason.

    Are we blaming the refs? Are we really doing this?

    Probably that he got closed out on and nobody was open for a pass. Probably would have been better to fade-away, but the result would have been the same. It was a terrible play for Stotts to call, given what we witnessed throughout the 4th quarter.

    SAT- @MIN
    TUE- vs OKC
    WED- @LAC

    Is this a joke, NBA? WTF kind of schedule is this? Kudos to the team for fighting through the tough schedule but we could have easily gone 4-0

    Losses are always the coach's fault one way or another. Whether poor game plan, failure to motivate team, miscommunication, playing wrong matchups or rotation, overplaying players causing fatigue, underplaying players wasting their potential and rusting their skills...

    It's a real challenge at any level and it's why coaches coach.

    I think two of Batum's last three bad shots were by design.

    The blazers shot really well but didn't take care of the ball. Nic made some stupid cross-court passes that were picked off with ease.

    Blake had his way with LMA but someone should've put him on his back! He was throwing his elbows around like Malone.

    They had 9 more FTA on 7 fewer PFs, giving them 8 more points in a 5-point game. The difference was, if Griffin tries to score within 3 feet of you, you fouled him.

    Meanwhile, Griffin throws an elbow into Leonard's face, draws blood, right in front of Salvatore and NO CALL.

    The Blazers made some ridiculous shots tonight, the McCollum 6 point play was awesome! They just really folded, once again, in the final minutes of the game. Some really silly shots. And Batum....he really needs to cut back on those turnovers. The turnover differential is probably what cost us the game.

    But man, everyone shot well, the bench contributed big, we probably would have blown most teams out with this effort. But alas...we're cursed with another close loss.

    Batum has at least 1 HIDEOUS turnover per game where it's WTF were you thinking with that pass. Lillard has been careless with the ball lately too. Batum and Lillard combined for 11 of 16 turnovers tonight. Not good when your best playmakers are not taking care of the ball.
