    If we win tomorrow I'll still almost count it as a loss. We got owned by team without their leading scorer in a game that would have given us the divisional lead.

    We've lost to Utah without Boozer, without Williams
    And now we've lost to Denver without Anthony....
    talk about giving away games..not even mentioning the LAC and ORL meltodowns...I hate roller coaster seasons.

    We didn't have our leading scorer in the game really either.

    We can't win a game on the road against a good team with Roy playing this bad. We played pretty close with only a couple guys playing decent tonight. I think if Roy just had a little off we would have won.

    We've got multiple needs, but SF is glaring right now. Batum has come back to earth and isn't starting quality.

    I'm convinced we could get better backup PF production from S Randolph if tonight was any indication of Frye and Ike's play.

    If we'd played a decent game we would have got out of there with a win, instead we had a complete team effort for the loss.

    This just shows we shouldn't have to lean on Roy so much. We have AMPLE talent to get by once in a while, esp against a team without their star player. I know Roy means the world to us, but maybe he shouldn't. It is not good that we depend so heavily on him.
    IMO we could have rode LMA tonight, sprinkled in some Rudy, Blake, and Travis.

    As for our bench tonight, what's the use of depth without consistency? Denver has guys like JR Smith and Kleza that bring it every night. We have a bunch of streak shooters.

    Our patented Iso Roy didn't work in the 4th quarter so Nate cracked and went Iso Outlaw.

    Great job!

    I agree and after a couple of those bad plays by Roy in the middle of the 4th the Blazers should have gone more to somebody else. It is hard not to go to Roy though because this is one of the few games I can remember that Roy didn't make a few shots at the end. Oh well lets get the win tomorrow.
