    You know what this team does a lot? They start dogging in on defense when their offense isn't clicking. Very common with young teams, but often Dame or CJ miss a shot or think they get fouled, and just completely give up on the ensuring defensive possession. 4-5 point swings every time and complete momentum killers.

    You mean when D'Antoni got the best record in the league and made it to the WCF? We're that bad?

    Crazy that if the playoffs were to start tomorrow we'd still be in. And in the playoffs defense becomes even more important, and that's our strength. 56 games to go, we got this.

    Anyone notice how great we were when Aminu was out there? More Aminu will be more wins

    I think, despite losing, tonight may have been the best they've played this year from top to bottom. At least from the games I've watched. Quite a few encouraging take aways.

    Turner has really come on strong lately, loving his play as of late.
    Really like his versatility . . .
    and he doesn't take no shit shit from the LA Bitchers!

    Jordan is a bad FT shooter. Needed 3 fouls to get him on the line.

    I'm surprised we didn't crush LAC, what with Aminu playing and all.

    I can hardly call it a good games since Blazers lost, but both teams played hard. TV audience probably thought it was a good game.

    If we were gonna hack him, we should've started doing it way before that. Not with like 2:05 left in the game. And we wasted 2 fouls to give. We could've used them.

    I wonder what live odds is the other team getting for winning the game when the Blazers lead by 10+.

    Sounds like there's a lot of money to be made from this unfortunate season.
