    Lauren Holtkamp wanted to make sure everyone remembered how bad a ref she is.

    Agreed. It's Evan Turner's inability to shoot that cost us the game.

    The refs screwed us tonight. But, we have to be ready for that. We have to be better than that.

    LOL.

    Whatever, I don't really care about the regular season too much anymore. Shit happens, but this team still needs to figure some things out. The big issues are the same issues from last year.

    It's too bad we have to be at least 20 points better than any given team if the refs decide to be assholes.

    In the game of basketball, we made two more baskets than they did and lost by 8 points.

    There were soooooooooo many other things they did wrong tonight, like the defense (nonexistent) or the poor ball movement in the 4th.

    This was a winnable game on so many levels, even with the poor reffing.

    I'm hoping Ezeli fixes some things, because right now the biggest problem with the team is the same problem from last year: defense.

    Damian Lillard has tallied 68 points (24-44 FG) and 19 rebounds in the season's first two games.

    Things that cost us the game, in order of importance:

    1. Terrible bench play. Turner sucked the life out of every lineup he played with.

    2. 4-18 shooting from deep. Including zero (!) made threes the entire 2nd half.

    3. Some momentum changing calls and a lack of letting players play, including what may very well be the weakest flagrant ever assessed against a Blazer.

    Its early in the season but even with all the fucking by the refs we really lost our composure for about a 4m stretch in the fourth. Thats something we need to work on, as well as that god awful bench lineup.
