    Unfortunate loss. I wasn't able to watch the game. How did we only score 82?

    Jaynes was saying that this team probably isn't as good as we thought they were. That there's no excuse to losing to a team like the Kings, because this team isn't a bunch of rookies, they've been together for awhile. Went off on Stotts for putting Layman and Meyers in.

    Saying they need to stop playing high pick and roll with Nurk, because he's a turn over machine, he's not been handling entry passes well.

    Blazers are DEAD LAST in NBA in assist per game... if that isn’t enough of a sign for you that McLillard doesn’t work...

    It's a sign our offense is not a good offense.

    Only thing is, doesn't he always find a way to shit talk whatever we do? I usually tune him out because he always seems negative. Kind of makes it a little less meaningful when the guy who's always doom and gloom finally gets his chance to jump up and down and say "I told you so!" Kind of reminds me of some posters we have here that we are forced to tolerate.

    I think by now every team knows how to slow us down due to we been playing the same offense for years. This year it had caught to us. Think goodness we been other teams down on the defense side but we will see how long that continue the rest of the season.

    Well they've long since caught on to our offense. We threw people a curve ball at the end of the year last season with Nurk. But now it seems people have caught on to that wrinkle too.

    Don't know if it's been mentioned, but that's at least the second game this year in which the team only missed one FT, and it was by CJ, last year's league leader in that department.

    Bizarro Blazers.

    I missed the game, but I posted this early in this thread when everyone was confidently talking about a blowout.

    Stotts' offense is predicated upon Lillard playing like Superman. Stotts should change his career to comic book writer.

    Umm....hold on a minute here. In the last game, there were people bitching about how Layman should get minutes.

    What happened? Did we get stuck in a brief fantasy and forget all reason?

    Pathetic. Either make some big trades, or fire Stotts.

    I never thought I would ever agree with you about anything. Well said.

    So sorry I missed this game. At least we're not freaking out over the loss though.
