    This is fucking bullshit! We should be blowing this team out; they are NOT that good.

    We need to pack the paint more and live with giving up threes. We've made adjustments at halfs of other games; lets see what happens here.

    Watching George Takei disembodied head dancing around makes me want to get some strong drugs.

    We lost focus in that quarter and need to get refocus the rest of the machine.

    Us - 6-6
    Them - 15-19
    Free throws is the only big difference between the teams so far. We were beating them easily until the refs decided to intervene.

    Reb
    Us - 19
    Them - 21
    We shouldn't be being out rebounded by them, especially letting them have 8 offensive rebounds.

    Turnovers
    Us - 8
    Them - 6

    Points off turnovers
    Us - 8
    Them - 10
    Both teams being a little sloppy with the ball.

    They are very talented , just very young which leads to inconsistency. They just beat golden state this week.

    Wolves are better than many give credit for. Perhaps we're not as good as our recent record indicates.

    This is the 3rd team in the last 8 games thats actually trying instead of resting guys. Warriors beat us and we beat Celtics.

    Wish it was just the refs. We have a problem fouling this year; we're ranked 29th in the league in fouls per game. We've committed almost 200 more than our opponents.

    Devil calls God and says "I want to organize a pickup game."

    "That's no contest." Says God. "I've got all the best players."

    "Yeah. But I got all the officials."

    If we're going to play defense like this, we're completely fucked.

    Damian Lillard's 5th assist is the 2,000th of his career. Terry Porter is only other Trail Blazer with 2,000 assists in first four seasons.

    Damian Lillard becomes the first NBA player with 6,000+ points and 2,000+ assists in his first four seasons since LeBron James (2003-07).

    That just shows me we do get dicked by the refs more. We do not play that physical on defense, and we constantly have players getting whacked in the paint with no calls.
