    He had an above average night then. I'm a Batum defender. Here I am. If you're looking for a strawman to burn or a pariah to mock, have at me.

    Above average is being extremely generous considering he was basically a no show on offense and defense.

    Not sure what was worse - Batum on offense or Batum on defense. Or Stotts' inability to figure out how to defend the pick and roll.

    Batum is really looking like Hedo post-contract year.

    Lack of patience.

    Oh, and the nightmare known as the Chad Buchanan administration.

    Next time Pops complain about the refs, the NBA should just show a tape of this game to him.

    Apparently the Blazers suffered from having a different staring lineup (1st time all season)

    Doesn't count for the Spurs though. They're used to it.

    Were the refs the ones that were supposed to cover Patty Mills?

    I still think the replay of Ginobli passing the ball to a ref was tops.

    The refs weren't playing against the Spurs, you bowling shoe.

    The lip service we keep playing to defense is old.

    I don't listen to the interviews... do they still say they're trying to play defense?

    Eh, refs sucked at the end of the game but if its the refs we need to win us these close games that isn't ever going to happen. We now have 4 losses in our last 5 games to 4 of the top 6 teams and all by less then 5 points. We can hang with the best but we can't finish against them like we could at the beginning of the season. To much 1 on 1 and rushed shots at the end of the game and lack of any coherent defensive plan has cost us dearly.

    You can't be a top team with the refs helping out. We need to work on that.

    There is truth to this - and has proven to be the downfall of great Blazer teams before.
