    These fucking sucked. This one hurt more than any other game this year, IMO.

    Right now, I'm just happy if we get a playoff seed and take our chances...

    I'm highly doubting that this year is a year we make a run.

    Next year? I have more hope for that.

    The team needs to find its identity again.

    And for the love of god Batum, enough with the awful passes.

    I wonder if there is a stat for inbound %... because he has to be one of the worst.... I know of 4 times this game he made a stupid mistake on an inbounds.

    Yep. I almost want the 7-8 seed and match up with SA... It's really the only team I feel comftorable facing.

    Just prove Nik and MM right. It was a gimmick offense and if the playoffs means flopping fests like tonight, we don't belong in it.

    There were some ATROCIOUS ones that really swayed the game tonight... I mean, it wasn't basketball, it was a night at the theater.

    The blazers didn't make a FG in the final 7-8 minutes of the game

    That's lack of execution on offense

    As bad as the refs were, the Rockets/Harden took that game. Blazers just can't finish as we've seen numerous times this season.

    It drives me nuts that Beverley is allowed to bump opposing PGs on the perimeter. He's the new Avery Bradley. He fouls every play, and figures the refs will start not calling the fouls because he does it every possession.

    Blazers don't lose for the rest of the regular season, get number 1 seed, win the playoffs, championship!

    Harden being Harden

    We need a real star player

    I hate Harden, but there's no doubt he's going to get any shot he wants. It's just a matter if it goes in or not.

    Time to ask what is happening in the locker-room.

    Gimmick offense that has been exposed, or do the problems run deeper?

    It was funny. They called EVERYTHING in the 1st quarter, then just let them pretty much do whatever they want... then those 2 phantom calls in the 3rd.... it was wildly inconsistent... it was like Batum was refereeing!
