    someone's giving him the max. Be dumb not to, because his max is way lower than his max would be starting in 2016-17. Whoever signs him will get a semi-deal.

    I feel a bit like Champ Kind just took my mother out for a nice steak dinner.

    And despite a 1/6 shooting night being TERRIBLE it's still better to get 5 points on 6 shots, than 10 points on 14 shots.

    LaMarcus has a lower TS% than Roy Hibbert.

    Well that was a very poor shooting night. How does a team of our calibur let that happen... That's not playoff bball. Luckily this loss doesn't really mean shit aside from forum rage haha.

    I think it was the type of loss that hurts the most. I can live with being beat by a top team. But one of the worst just gotta hurt

    Absolutely no excuse to lose to the TImberwolves sans Rubio, Pekovic, Martin, and Williams. We've been playing with fire lately by not putting away teams we should crush and tonight it came back to bite us in the ass. Maybe we'll learn to play clean basketball and play to our level instead of down to our opponents.

    I understand we'll have off shooting nights here and there, but we were completely out-hustled and out-worked tonight. Every single time we needed a defensive rebound, we couldn't grab it, because Minnesota got to it first. Our starters' minutes are down from last year and we have a competent bench, so energy shouldn't have been an issue. Just a terrible loss considering how lights out the Western Conference is.

    Im just done with Batum. He gives the ball to the other team about 10 times a game it seems like. Dude cannot make a shot to save his life either. Rather would just start Crabbe and see what we can do from there.

    WRONG!

    The correct answer is, wins don't hurt.

    Jeez.... it was a trick question.

    This is the same team that lost to the 76ers.

    You won't be saying that if OKC comes roaring back to take the division.

    Wow that was really, really bad basketball. Hopefully this wakes them the fuck up.

    They all could mean something in the west come the end of the year.

    All that matters is getting in in the West, but that is not guaranteed. All that jocking for position and home court advantage is a bunch of shit. In the playoffs it doesn't even matter.

    I can take losing on the road....but can't get over what a god awful team we lost to. They are scum sucking team that was basically without their starting lineup. We got our asses kicked by a bench and a bunch of 3rd stringers on a shitty team.

    The difference tonight is that the rest of the Blazers didn't make up for LA and Batum's suckage.
