    When you factor in his turnovers, he wasn't efficient at all. We had one player that had a good game, just one. Let's hope they all got it out of their collective system.

    Right, he was really sloppy but he shot it really well. I just think we did some things well and still got crushed and it's because of our defense.

    The thing about energy; I think it's difficult to get that energy going when the team plays a passive defense strategy for the entire game.

    Denver just simply kicked our butts from the tipoff in this one and Dame's amazing game just kept it more respectable at the end..we didn't lose this game...Denver won it and they basically did what we did game one....let Lillard get his and neutralize the rest of the team.

    Nothing we haven't all said - to paraphrase, noted they were more aggressive from the start and outplayed us from the top down, except for Dame's 40.

    I had the Blazers in 6. Not because that's what I think it should be. But, because of who our coach is. I agree with Charles Barkley, we are consistently the most under performing team in the league. We have a killer roster.

    No amount of Stotts apologists is going to convince me that we should lose by 20+ points to a Nuggets team without Murray and Barton.

    NONE.

    Man Norman Powell has been extremely disappointing as well

    Terry will not deviate from the present rotation of 8. There are defensive minded players on the bench. Could Nas, djj, rhj fare any worse than kanter, melo, or ant?
