    We could be getting the same results with a roster that costs half of what it does this season. This team is fundamentally flawed.

    What a horribly embarrassing loss to a team with basically one starter, an all rookie back court and they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Doesn't matter.....Stotts wouldn't double team Michael Jordan if he was playing with 4 grandma's from the YWCA. Little energy, no one attacking the rim....just a 'turrble' loss after giving one away last night.

    It was like he thought Memphis was so bad that he could use this game for Aminu to try and find his shooting touch.

    They gotta really stop playing like idiots and going to people who are cold as shit (Plumlee and Aminu come to mind).

    They went away from what was working and earned themselves this loss. They don't seem to be learning anything from the games this year, and have shown 0 growth from last year.

    This must be what it's like to be a Denver, Sacramento or Minnesota fan.

    Yeah let's make the back to back excuse when we were up 13 with 5 to go...okay. Not to mention the Grizzlies fg percentage was shit, that's even more embarrassing

    Memphis is 16 and 8, and had won 4 straight prior to tonight. theyre also 12-0 in games decided by 3 or less. this wasnt the sixers we lost to on the second night of a b2b.

    Have some perspective. jeez

    If we'd made our free throws tonight, we'd have won this game by dozen points

    Perspective?! Memphis missing half its starting lineup is 16-8. We, with a supposedly deep team with tons of talent, are 12-12. What am I missing?!

    Not that it makes any difference; either way we deserved to lose.

    I felt that loss coming on in the 4th, even though we were up 7, Memphis was just playing with a lot more energy and toughness. Sometimes, this team looks like it's getting bullied physically and mentally.

    Yup

    I think the future is bright tho with dame Cj and Harkless

    Everybody else is beyond trash. We need a lottery pick bad this year. This 39-41 win season is not going to do shit. Not a damn thing but waste Dame's prime. We already wasted tons of time last year with that useless season

    The best thing to do for us is keep playing the way we are (which is bad) then shut it down that last month of the season like we did Dame's rookie year. Which btw got us Cj

    Ya like the refs are to blame for this loss. The Blazers had more than 1chance to win this game.
