    Why the hell did Stotts have LA and LIllard on the bench for 3m in the 4th in a must win game when we are down?

    I root for laundry. Hopefully we won't have cold dead cadavers in them next year.

    They've looked so unprepared all series long I don't think Stotts is going to get the benefit of guys being injured as an excuse, at least I hope he won't.

    At least Leonard and CJ give us something to look forward to next year. Their growth the 2nd half of this season has been tremendous to watch. Happy to see it has translated into the postseason, too.

    If only we could blame our shittiness on Drake too.

    If Blake wants to remain a Blazer, he can take up the mantle of Blaze the Trail Cat because his usefulness on the court is non-existent.

    We have no idea what it means to play intense playoff defense. We can't even do it for an entire possession. If we start a possession playing intense, they can just dribble around until we lose focus and slack off and give them an open shot.

    God damnit. That was the first time this series i can remember memphis fucking up 3 possessions in a row and we piss away opportunity with standing around offense and batum fade aways. God fucking damn it. Then they get a bail out luck 3. Fucking fuck.

    Two more shots with no to little movement and no one within 15 feet of the basket. All we do is shoot jumpers.

    If this is the way this season ends and the last game for this core playing together, it will be a lot easier to see breaking it up (and that's not saying wholesale changes, just that getting rid of a couple of key guys from this rotation who might have been considered nearly untouchable at midseason or who are fan favorites won't be as hard to swallow as it was a couple of months ago, because they look like dogs right now).

    ...the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the jello's jiggling.

    Meyers and CJ are costing only $5 million combined too. Lets not do anything dumb like overpay Rolo or Wes in the summer.

    That wasn't a shooting foul?

    New offensive strategy: give the ball to CJ.
