    Quality loss. A lot of good except about the last 8 minutes.

    Ant chucking a horrible three and air balling it with a wide open Shaedon RIGHT NEXT TO HIM.

    agreed, him and clingan with sharpe/deni/camara.

    the Ant isos were both predictable and miserable.

    That loss matters. Brooklyn passed us in lotto standings yesterday.

    Just can't stomach the Ant on 5 possessions. I get it that we got a bunch of points off of them but we've got to have some plays we can call besides supposed ISOs with bad spacing.

    I'm happy the guys competed but they let up big time during the last 3:30 or so of the game. We need losses but not with Ant hogging the ball as much as he did down the stretch.

    ANT was not the issue -- this loss is 50 % on our idiot coach and 50% on the refs who ate the whistle when the Blazers had the ball -- PERIOD

    The lack of passing and lack of spacing on offense can be blamed easily on Chauncey but there were too many Ant on 5 possessions. We didn't have one player with more than 4 assists.

    Besides that. We haven't done much to build on the momentum of Scoot's confidence and to have him play in crunch time regularly. And you wonder why his development has been stunted.

    Dream on. Portland will pick another bust in the lottery and nothing will change. But hey, they can tank next year, too. It never ends in Portland.

    Scoot with 20 on 7 FGA… that’s gotta be a positive. Especially going 12/12 at the line.

    You would have won good money on that prediction less than a year ago.
