    In the first qtr. I was gonna comment that the Blazers are
    "putting on a clinic.."
    That wouldn't have aged well...

    The Pelicans announcers commented on the Blazers being last in assists.

    They said that when they were moving the ball in at the beginning of the game, the offense clicked and they got a good lead. Later, when things get tougher they tend to go one-on-one and the end up taking contested shots and have a lot of people standing and watching.

    Good summary of a Terry Stotts offense. There is no plan.

    Makes me angry watching this crap. I wait the whole day for it. Losing hurts, but I can take losing if we compete. I can't take losing when we play like dogs.

    Like I said before, I’ll ignore your posts and you ignore mine because I don’t have time to for semantics with you.

    We'll make playoffs. Our schedule is much easier than Memphis' and New Orleans'. I don't think it will be close. If we lose tonight, so be it. We weren't going to win out. There will be losses along the way.

    I don't think it's Terry's offense to go 1 on 1. His offense allows players to dictate what they want to do. Stotts's problem is that there is no accountability and he doesn't put any pressure on his guys when they are doing dumb shit. He will just let it happen, as a player's coach.

    I heard today that Synergy Sports has Dame as the most efficent high volume player in the NBA. I'd be curious to why that is; could be lot of factors I'm sure.

    I just said ease of schedule doesn't matter with these guys. You can put your eggs in that basket. You haven't been paying attention to this season if you think it consistently beats inferior teams. It doesn't.

    Good news. We won't play New Orleans in playoffs. They've always owned us.
