    Seriously, most of us have seen this tired act before. This isn't new or original. Always point out the negative, keep repeating it, and anything short of a championship you run around thumping your chest while claiming how right you are. You're not even very good at it.

    You really do need to stop, come up with something original, or you need to leave.

    Listen idk why ppl are taking this loss as the holy grail to finally realize the playoffs is pointless

    For the first time all season I can tell ppl are realizing what I been saying?? I just have one question

    Why now?? Nothing has changed our team is really good and proved a lot this year. I personally believe we won what we wanted for this year. Big time won

    Replies to people you have on ignore, when they come right after one of your posts, can be confusing.

    How? I said this year has been a major success

    We have a great Gm, a great leader in Lillard but playing in the playoffs for bragging rights is short sighted

    KAT is a beast. He made that last play look easy.

    We're supposed to be in playoff form and our defense sure isn't.

    And yet you actually believe the great leader should intentionally lose games?

    Yeah. Well get the fuck over it. We are in the playoffs, and we know how you feel about "losing assets ". Stop repeating yourself. It is too late.

    I'm not really looking at it on a game by game basis. Overall we should not be 20th in the league.

    I look at a team like the Boston Celtics, sure they have better perimeter guard defenders, decent wings, but they also have a short defensively challenged point guard, and I would argue their interior defenders are even more inept than ours.

    Brad Stevens has them playing top 5 defense.

    I don't get it, I know our personnel isn't great, but the majority of our rotation players are neutral to positive defenders. Davis, Aminu, Harkless, Crabbe, Plumlee, Hendo, even Vonleh. We should NOT be this bad. 12-13th I can stomach. 20th and shoddy possession defense I cannot.

    I will say I have never seen "the foul game" be successful. Sincerely, have you? Have you ever seen a team down and start to foul and somehow win it? Once in a blue moon, but I am shocked at how often the strategy is used given how very, very rarely it pays off.

    NBA refs decide all close games. Happens every time.

    Why does he have to stop or why does he have to leave. I have never seen him attack other posters or insult other posters. I don't think he is even trying to incite other posters; they do that to themselves. I think it is absolutely wrong and authoritarian in nature to threaten to kick him out.

    Disagree. Look at Avery Bradley. That dude has footwork and doesn't let you drive by him. He's always in excellent position. Compare that to our guards who give direct line drives straight to the rim.
