    He did. They tried to but Crabbe couldn't. Poor execution.

    I choose to see the bright side in this. We played a much more experienced and talented team tough ... and are one loss closer to a top pick in the draft.

    Yeah a pick closer to another promising player who will spend the first year of his career on the injured list then have a subpar career with Portland before we trade him for a second rounder

    We didn't even get a second rounder for Oden or Roy.

    Wow. That just hit me, the Rise With Us trio of Roy/Aldridge/Oden is gone and we got zero in return. Amazing.

    I guess I am ready to believe at this point that Stotts has made a decision to not call timeouts, to let them work things out for themselves, to grow as players; and if that means losses, that's OK.

    This is a different group of guys that blows leads just like last year's team...
    Thing is, they're not working things out. They're not learning from shit

    3 years ago I knew we were a lottery team but could compete every night

    2 years ago I was surprised that we not only competed but WON!

    1 year ago was met with expectations and barely meeting them (too many double digit come from behind Ws).

    I was cautiously optimistic that this team could be like that team three years ago. Not gonna happen. I’m numb. Worst thing about it, not one lottery pick will turn this around. We need vets. We will be in lottery limbo for 3 or 4 years. Then we better be competitive or Dame will find a place to be competitive. That's my only fear in all this

    All you Stotts haters crack me up. For the last three seasons he rode his main horses hard...probably too hard. He was doing his best to win because he was under pressure to win. This season its like he's been given some of the same freedom he is giving his players. Or maybe he's under orders to play certain players. But he's spreading out the playing time and letting the players make their mistakes and find their way. That is a pretty radical departure from seasons past. I feel like he's almost having fun playing with all the various pieces. He knows they aren't playoff material so he gets to spend the season seeing what works and what doesn't. Which guys might be "long run" material and who's a rental. And I would bet PA and NO are just fine with that, if they didn't outright direct him to do it. We all knew we were in for a long rough season. So relax and enjoy the ride. And anyway, the last thing they need to do with pretty much an entirely new team is to bring in a new coach. I doubt there's one out there who could do any better this particular season.....

    Frazier looked good in his brief stint tonight. He was running the offense like a traditional PG should. I think we need to see more of him.
