    Our man to man defense is just bad but our team is just as bad. Difference between us and the Lakers they are active and Everytime we get past a player they also have another player to pick up the ball handler.

    Show me a team with bad man-to-man defenders but are a great defensive team. Team defense always starts with your ability to defend 1:1.

    The worst part of that horrible half is how much Skip Bayless enjoyed it

    I wish we had an NHL team in Portland, that way I could follow a legitimate pro sport in my home state other than the National Basketball Entertainment. WWE is truly less predictable.

    It was a very entertaining bubble overall. They had an outside shot to even make it into the 8th and had to fight tooth and nail to get it.

    It really sucks to see them totally embarrassed like this after putting in all that effort. Of course the Lakers are a better team with a lot of other advantages (ahem), but this is hard to watch.

    Our defense is pathetic, the players are desperate - have no answers. It's time to bring in a new coach, Stotts sould have been gone years ago, he has no clue.

    Man this franchise ain’t nothing without him. He’s always loyal to our poor souls man. I get what your saying but I really wish the best for him on a good team he deserves it

    Is it a good time to sit Lillard and CJ and Nurk?
    Don't want them getting hurt and maybe they will be fresher for the next game?

    They have a great coach though, a great coach maxes out scrubs potential.

    I did that once Pats vs Falcons. Somehow I don’t think that’s happening here.

    Top players that are above average height for their position/skill sets, surround by 3pt shooters. That is how it is done!

    The blazers are playing way to much hero ball. Do they understand if you pass the ball a couple times there will be a open man. Were there more than 3 possessions in the first half with more than one pass?

    Absolutely! But he shouldn't be imune for his poor Playoff perfomance every year and especially his loyalty for freaking Stotts
