    Fellas... Deep breaths... Buddhist chants and shit....

    I'm pissed at Terry right now...

    But it's early...

    In both losses teams have had to do miraculous shit to beat us. The season is just beginning. :rocky:

    That's right. I thought he should've came out when he had 4. That 4th was a bullshit call too.

    Last year I kept waiting for the close games to balance out but they never did. Portland has a bad record in close games. Dame and CJ don't execute well in crunch time, sorry to say.

    Same. We either need to hire a defensive coach or look for a replacement. I've said it before and I'll say it again, we will not win a title with Terry Stotts as our head coach. He literally stood there and watched Blake Griffin iso our smaller bigs all night long. The two times we sent the double? It resulted in turnovers.

    The Clippers made our role players beat us all night long, which has always been Doc's strategy against us. Our two losses have come at the hands of two players (Giannis and Blake). It would be great it we put the same pressure on the opposition's role players as they do ours.

    I will say though I'm encouraged by the team.
    There is a commitment to defense which wasn't there last season.
    Sure they still have some lapses, but that's better than last year when it wasn't lapses. It was all out non-effort.

    Our last 2 games in a row we shot like crap our two best players that suppose to lead us shot 15-37. Yes they got there points but it seems like at times it looks like there just trying to get there's. dame did have 6 assist tonight but at times he let it fly 3 or 4 times and not get into the offense. We had 19 assist tonight to me that has to come up to at least 25 or more.

    Dame should've contested the shot. THE COACH should've called for a double team on the pick.

    So... CJ was 8-18 and 5-7 at the line. Not exactly light years better than Dame. Yes, Dame took terrible shots. But your boy CJ wasn't much better and bricked two VERY important free throws.

    Dame and CJ didn't have particularly bad shooting nights tonight (they just both did not play well at the end). The bench gave us nothing. And Griffin was getting to the rim at will and there were no adjustments on the defensive end.

    Clippers only shot 63% from the FT line, which allowed Portland to hang around. Portland didn't deserve this win. When other teams trap Dame and CJ the offense really struggles. They end up passing to Hark or Aminu who hold the ball and the movement stops.
