    Looking at the effort on D and boxing out/rebounding, it really seems like the team knew this game ment nothing.
    Stotts has gotta do a better job in the future on firing the team up for pointless games.

    Looks like we have no choice. Damn, that was our season closer at home and we lose to depleted Jazz. If we win first round, tonight won't matter though,

    Lillard played extremely well. His drives were incredible.

    There are 4 guys dressed in old school Jazz uniforms, really short shorts. They're still here taking pictures with fans. It's hilarious.

    I think the Blazers punted in Brooklyn. I actually think they would rather play on the road so they don't lose one of their first games

    You'd give your left nut for a sweat drenched Rolo jersey.

    Aside from my normal "sky is falling" routine after a loss like this... guys, the sky really is falling on the Blazers' season. They are out in 5 in the first round, regardless of their opponent, if this is the performance we can expect. Aldridge or no.... come on, guys.

    This is one of my biggest knocks on Stotts. He doesn't know how to motivate a team over the course of 82 games (see major letdown losses this year).

    Bro, our offense is so predicated to Aldridge's game. When he's out, it completely disrupts our offense. Our players don't have a "without Aldridge" offense.

    It's worth more if you don't wash it.

    Agree, 100%. We TRIED to win this game and couldn't even muster a home victory over the short-handed Jazz. That's a major red flag. We came out flat, tried to comeback, and fell short. It's been the same dan story all year long. Where's the passion? The fire? The intensity?
