    I actually enjoyed that game. We played fierce defense for a long stretch of the third quarter. We just missed too many open shots to close the gap all the way. Simons might've helped but he got hurt. But I really enjoyed the fight we had out there after falling behind by 27. Of course, it all fell apart when Nurk came back in but I still had fun. We don't look like a championship team, of course, but I still think that we have as good a chance as any team of getting the 4 seed and home court in the first round. Go Blazers.

    They announced 16,124. I assure you, that place was nowhere near 80% capacity.

    With Becky it would be first NBA team coached by woman.
    But it appeared differently. Billups is first coach to coach women team in NBA

    New low. I'll say it, I'd do Westbrook for CJ + Roco and just play that sonofabitch as a 3 with Nance starting at 4. I'm sick of CJ's selfish bullshit and Roco being so inept out there.

    CJ is a much better LeBron player than RW. That would turn around the Lakers season and make them the favorites. Not sure why you'd want that.

    I think dame being injured/playing so poorly this season has badly decreased team morale to the point they dont put in effort.

    I’m gonna bring something up that NO ONE has mentioned. Could it be the roster?

    I thought Nurk was one of those?

    I'm kind of leaning more towards Kingspeed's view than Billups on this game. I think the team in general played pretty hard. They are not yet accomplished enough in their new defense to stop a well-oiled machine like Spurs. Some guys maybe tried to do too much on offense with Lillard out; driving to the basket against the wrong guys. It did seem we missed some good shots.

    Them shooting 11/23 from three in the first half renders any post defense useless.

    Unless you have a Big that is mobile enough and actually willing to work hard enough to cover someone that isn't around the rim?
    I agree they shot the ball very well. Seems like that happens a bunch against this team? Usually in the first couple quarters.
