    Looking over the stats, it looks like the steals is the downfall... Orlando have 10... FGA's are the same, most all of it is the same (14 pts off 13 turnovers each)

    Why do we have Batum and Matthews still playing? The game is decided.

    Not looking over the stats, the pick and roll defense is our downfall.

    They have been rattled for weeks now. No sense of confidence, none. We just lost to a team that is more than 30 games sub-.500.

    This one hurts.

    Lets hope OKC can take care of Dallas (Hate that it's not in our control.)

    Tough loss, poor shooting from downtown. Will had a great game though, don't see why he didn't play more. LA should be back for Atlanta..2 road games to get a couple wins.

    Seriously, how many times has our guard been stuck behind their big man while our big man tries to block a layup from too far behind the cutting guard? Too many times. If he misses, guess who gets the rebound (and putback)? Their big man who didn't get boxed out. TOO MANY TIMES.

    It IS in our control. If we win the 10 remaining games, we are 5th seed at worst. It's in our control and we are doing nothing with it.

    Oh, Stotts hasn't torn into this team yet, MB? Maybe he should. They need a tongue-lashing. It's getting to the end of the season and there is very little room for "figuring things out" and "being disappointed."

    That Chicago game is going to be tough as hell... we had to fight to put up 85 against Orlando... who gives up 102 a game. On the 4th in 5 nights, they may struggle mightly. I hope not, but it doesn't look good.

    A big IF, though, we know that.

    That, and I meant tonight. If we beat Orlando, we would have controlled what we could have... now, we have to have OKC help us not lose a game on Dallas. That's what I meant.

    Lillard has gone 7-19, 3-15, and 5-17 from the field the last 3 games. He has as many assists as turnovers. yikes
