    Actually this team looks like crap most of the time. Play like a bunch of guys that just try too hard except when they don't.

    So I'm guessing the team isn't going to say any more of that "We turned the corner" bullshit? Their words hold no merit. Their words don't mean shit.

    Gut feeling this game will put things in motion regarding trades. Olshey was sitting courtside with Allen and I've never seen him so into a game. He was pissed. And not at the refs. It just felt like the breaking point. I know NBA executives don't make knee jerk decisions based off one game but this team has obviously been in a position to eventually make changes, and I think it's coming sooner rather than later.

    Noteworthy: team will be in philly next week.

    Fulltime
    Us - 109
    Them - 115

    We had 14 more shots than them, but couldn't hit them.

    FGA/M (%)
    Us - 39/97 (40.2%)
    Them - 41/83 (49.4%)

    All of those extra shots, and more (16) came from downtown. Yet both teams ended up with 10 3PM.

    3PM/A (%)
    Us - 10/34 (29.4%)
    Them - 10/18 (55.6%)

    Our 3PM/A(%) culprits were:
    Dame - 2/11 (18.2%)
    Crabbe - 1/5 (20%)
    Turner - 1/4 (25%)
    Leonard - 1/4 (25%)
    Connaughton - 1/3 (33.3%)
    Aminu - 0/1 (0%)

    We had less turnovers, and gave up less points off turnovers.

    Turnovers
    Us - 10
    Them - 15

    Points Off Turnovers
    Us - 8
    Them - 17

    We beat them in the paint.

    Points in the Paint
    Us - 48
    Them - 32

    So basically if we hadn't bricked so many threes, we would have won.

    I would think we would be seeing something happen. Can't be losing to Detroit and Orlando at home within a week

    My gut said that if Portland made any trades during the season it would be after January 15th.

    115 surrendered to a shitty offensive team is what jumps out at me, not missed threes.

    I'm not. I want him to do well. He's having his worst season yet man, that's just a fact.
