    Shouldn't came down last second shot. We need be mentally in the game 48 minutes this 2 games in the row we squander 1st half leads in the 2nd half. We won and we just lost one. Plus team will always due or die from the 3 and tonight shooting 32 percent from 3 made us die by we especially when your starters go for 7-22.

    Didn't Roco represent at a skills challenge once? How can he miss so many close up lay ups!!!

    Then why did you post season stats when they have nothing to do with how he's been playing lately?

    Stotts did it once against Memphis on Memphis's last possession. (And it was successful.)

    Minnesota averages more fouls than any other team in the league but tonight the Blazers are called for 5 more fouls and shot 11 less Free Throws.

    Wow. Watford and DSJ were the only Blazers who shot at least 50%.

    This season, I'm not too worried about wins and losses. Yes I route for us to win every game but when the losses come it doesn't hurt like usual because this season IMO is about Chauncey picking up coaching and getting him the right team to be successful going forward. Now if we make some big moves in the next couple weeks or so and have a roster that makes sense, then I'll start getting invested in wins and losses and how we position ourselves for Dame's return at the end of the season heading into likely the play-ins.

    Portland's late rally comes up short after the offense disappears in the 2nd half. Come chat about the game with us!

    He sucks at defense and that makes him a horrible match in the back court with Dame. Honestly with all of the hype about him right now, we should be cashing his trade value in because we don't need a developing borderline all star. We need to consolidate the talent we do have and get another all star that complements Dame and then pieces around both of them that make sense.

    Really like Ant, and if Dame wasn't on this team, he would be the exciting future. But I just don't get how they fit together any better than Dame/CJ, especially from a defensive standpoint.

    Very good night, both Offensively and Defensively.

    But only 11 shots when Ant/CJ are 10-33? Our guards to a terrible job of getting the ball to the hot player.
