    Well well you can't play iso ball don't expect to win. But the energy was up this game but there no moral victory at this stage of the year.

    How does a .500 coach keep his job for 9 years? Clean house and keep Dame, Powell, Nas, and Roco. Build around that I guess.

    I think I’ll be glad when Melo is off the team next season so they’re not required to play him in end of game situations. I don’t hate what he brings to the team but when it was announced that he was going to come off the bench I pictured a smaller role.

    It’s hard to enjoy this team when they are actively sabotaging their season. It’s unbelievable to be honest, especially in a season where they have to show some progress.

    Tough loss. Loved the energy from little and RHJ....tough watching all the iso from cj but that is to be expected at this point when dame is not playing.

    This one step closer for stotts not coming back next year. CJ is horse shit. I want his ass traded. Just pathetic on defense last 2 min. Stotts never makes defensive substitutions. CJ should never be in lineup on last possessions. And stotts just too dumb. Just too dumb

    that fuggin sucks

    really thought they were going to break thru and win this one but some questionable shot selection in the last 2 minutes did them in. PG13 didn't help either

    Portland could have signed Rondo but they decided to spent 2 million more on Jones

    It sounds like when he agreed to resign for this season there were expectations set with the front office and coaching staff. They are “guardians of his legacy” after all.

    CJ could got to the foul line when pg jump up to contest the shot all do had to make contact with him. He had him up in the air make contact with some how make contact with him.

    Why did Paul George shoot FT when he is not in the act of shooting?
