    First game in weeks that didn't come down to the last possession or a blowout for us. Sad.

    Do we even have a .500 home record at this point? Seems like we almost play worse there most of the time now.

    Damn. Needed a win with 3 days off now. We were so focused at the beginning. I guess we got tired.

    I get what you're saying. I don't think any of us hate the Blazers or the players as human beings. But there is a lot to dislike in this team and it is sad that a lot of us have lost interest in the season because of whats transpired. It is one thing have a bit of a minor letdown from a surprising year last year, it is a completely other thing to fall off a cliff than land on the road and get ran over by a semi.

    Like I said the other night, this is a bottom 5 team in the NBA at the moment.

    And aside from the Brooklyn Nets, I'm not sure there's a team in the league in a worse situation than this one.

    This. I'm no Tunchi downer, but his blind optimism is fucking annoying.

    At least we have our draft pick... Unless Olshey trades it away again for another journeyman scrub.

    Turnovers
    Us - 16
    Them - 8

    Points Off Turnovers
    Us - 22
    Them - 8

    For those who got to watch the whole game, what percentage of our turnovers were forced/unforced?

    Dude, stop making excuses... it's the same story every night. Blazers are 8 games under .500 with 2nd highest payroll. Ultimate underachievers. This team as constructed is going nowhere.

    You miss the point entirely. And your statement is debatable, but a waste of time and energy. Suffice to say the reality is between the two extremes.

    It's not the same story every night. We won the game before this one.
