    I guess it's a good thing it wasn't the Blazers pick that the Hornets get, otherwise it seems to appear that they'dbe getting a lotto pick.

    I wonder when the team last had a three game losing streak? Seems like it's been awhile

    Sure.

    Second question. Whom do we replace him with? Is this really looking like a primo job for a top flight coach? I doubt it.

    Devin killed us today.

    Kris Humphries made LaMarcus his bitch.

    Batum was invisible for the entire game.

    This team is clearly regressing in most every aspect of the game. WTF happened to Batum? He looks like another asset the Blazer will hold onto too long until he's got zero trade value.

    Completely baffled.

    The fuckin Nets.

    WTF? Down 4 with 20 seconds with 0 timeouts, somehow Andre thinks there's time for a drive? Furthermore, clearly needing a three, why wasn't Rudy in the damn game?! Was Nate asleep?

    Yeah, it's definitely all Nate's fault.

    We're so mediocre it's not even funny. MB can spew all the excuses he wants but this team, as built, just isn't that good. But like last game it's hard to even get mad these days after losses.

    I didn't say it was. But he plays a huge role in how we play, and it's obviously not working. (To be honest, it hardly ever was-- Roy bailed us out in many fourth quarters before, but he seemingly can't do so anymore).

    Typical Blazer fashion this year, big lead early, only to evaporate late because of horrible execution and lack of depth.

    Yes, lack of depth. Something we always prided ourselves on.

    Blowing big leads is bad coaching. Period.

    Rudy is wasting away at the end of our bench. No wonder he's unhappy.

    Seriously, he played only 11 minutes, but had 6pts, 2rebs, 2asts, and 2 stls).

    WTF more do you want from him before putting him in when we desperately need a three?

    The way the team plays is dictated by the coach, so in that sense it is Nate's fault. Maybe the guys need a new voice to hear, or a coach that takes advantage of the players they do have OR we can just accept that the team is going to be a 7th-10th place Western conference team for the foreseeable future.

    Amazing how quick the drop off was. 3 years ago, they were considered one of the better teams of the future, now they're not even a top 6 team in the conference.

    The effort was there, we just didn't get the calls.

    Inconsistency from a 21-year-old player. It's never happened before.

    Your post is another example why people stay away from the cesspool that are the game threads these days. A bunch of overreacting babies.
