    Who does any opponent need to guard other than Lillard? just triple team him every play.

    Blake should come down with a case of the injuries.

    We need a new designated inbounder. Neither Batum or Blake are great at it this year.

    This baffles me. He's the shortest, most panicky guy in the lineup, and shouldn't be inbounding.

    On the first try, Wes was open and Blake called timeout. I don't get it. It was an open look from a guy who was hot. Lillard is good but he's not God. Don't give him the ball with two guys on him.

    Everyone knows we want to get the ball to Lillard for the last shot, and they showed that (Boston's D) on the first set by denying him the ball. Stotts should have used Dame as a decoy on the 2nd set, maybe drawing a defender away from someone else.

    What a shitty shitty night. LA out for 2 months, Batum may have reinjured himself and we lose at the end of the game again. 1-5 the last six and the way we are executing at the end of games leaves a lot to be desired and makes you wonder if we are just going to screw away enough games like this to cost us a playoff spot.

    What a stupid play. I'll never understand why the in bounds passer or the coach believe that a low percentage shot with your best player is better than a decently open shot with a role player.

    We have lost 5 of 6 and no help in sight. We are fucked. I fucking hate how this always happens to us - just when we get our hopes up, fucking catastrophe.

    Not a shitty night for everyone. There's a few posters who might have just come reading that.

    if his job is to somehow come up with a miracle cream that heals LaMarcus's torn ligament, Robins broken hand, Joel's bad shoulder and Nic's non existent game, I'm really not sure what else he can realistically do.

    Meyers Leonard is one of the best passers on the team. I think he should inbound that last play because he can put the ball on a dime anywhere. Alley oop to anybody at the rim would win this game.
