    That reversed T was just the refs taking a dump in the punch that already tasted like urine.

    It doesn't matter than we lost. The only thing this can gain by winning at this point, is a date for a major 1st round throttling by GS. This group of guys simply is not good enough. It's the talent. It's not like they are suddenly going to start playing like a powerhouse. Will be interesting to see if Paul fires anyone after his 140 million dollar team misses the playoffs.

    Cousins has never won more than 33 games. Sheed was a nutjob, but always a winner. Not the same

    How many times is our supposed high-octane offense going to disappear in the first 6 minutes of the fourth quarter? The defense is horrific - but we still win if we hit more than one FG in the first 6:30 of the 4th.

    The next GM is going to have a hell of a time moving the overpaid scrubs.

    The coach needs to go. It's obliviously not on him completely, but he's simply can not get this team motivated on D.

    Yep, that's them.

    And per 100 possessions it's actually shockingly close. They played a much faster pace, but gave up 114.7 points per 100 possessions

    http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/DEN/1991.html

    After the GSW game Portland was at 113.7 points per 100, and that almost certainly went up with this monstrosity of a performance tonight.

    Yeah, I remember clear as day. Another thing I remember is we were mental midgets completely incapable of getting over the hump. Which, historically speaking, is a fact. I never want to go down that road again. The Cavs aren't. The Warriors aren't. The Spurs aren't. It doesn't work

    I don't think they were ever good. Barely over .500 last year, barely beat the Clippers without Paul and Griffin. The question I have, is why Olshey thought this team was good.

    Who the hell calls any of the Blazers big men "stoppers"?

    Unless they mean to say "these guys are no stoppers"

    Not me. Spitting mouth pieces, ejections, and technicals? That's what you want?

    This.

    And this. This is about so much more than one bullshit call. This was us; period. Missed freethrows, bigs that don't know what the fuck they're doing (except Plums), old plays that are predictable. Not to mention Defense that an injured kitten could get through.

    Terry Stotts. That's how. His plays are old, tired, and predictable, and he doesn't lead his team like a coach should. Gives half-assed press conferences like he doesn't even care, and lets his team go to hell in the 2nd Half.

    I'm glad Paul Allen was there tonight, so he can see this shit first hand.

    We have a lot of "stoppers"

    Just not traditional ones... a lot of " oh for the love of god please STOP" type stoppers

    Dame had nice game up to the 4th than he started looking for his shot 30 feet away. The hottest player on the floor was CJ and many touches did he get in the 4th. It Dame job to feed the person that is hot not trying to get his. I really think the have stop following Dame as the leader because times you go down and shoot some stupid shots. This teams goes when he get everyone involve but they stop playing when he doesn't.

    I will say I wasn't impressed with Boogie's D. If we added Cousins, we'd have the best offense in the league by a mile but our D would still suck.
