    The effort was there. The offense predictable. The talent disparity obvious.

    They just bullied us.

    Denver continues like they’re playing now the championship will be theirs

    I turned it off. Watching the bad offense and then Dame get the technical was enough for me.

    I wanted to believe the two wins over the Mavs were a sign that we were figuring it out, but an object tends to its most natural state, and the Blazers' most natural state is mediocrity and not having any idea what to do when the pressure's on.

    Just another deflating performance. Didn’t expect different but keep hoping.

    Denver is the best for a reason

    And the Blazers aren't for a reason

    Nurkic played as bad of a game as I've ever seen from him.

    After this loss, we are tied with the Thunder. I'm sorry, that is inexcusable. Dame/Ant/Grant/Nurk/Hart as a starting lineup.....tied with the super young Thunder? That is just crap.

    Just time to make big changes. Obviously Dame still has it. The pieces around him should be more complementary. Obviously if we're going to contend the talent level has to go up but if we even want to compete Joe has to make this roster more balanced and a more cohesive mix of skills.

    You can go to Denver and lose. Right now, that'd be acceptable.

    However, if you aspire to be a dangerous team, you can't go to Denver and lose your composure and get run out of the arena, and that's happened far too often with this team.

    No poise. No clutch gene on this team. Even with Dame. No one else is comfortable having the ball in their hands in an important stretch.
