    ...as soon as coaches become responsible for turnovers? Shots made? Rebounds? Etc. Etc.

    I enjoyed the loss to IND until the last 10 second of regulation - THAT was a good game. This game was just horribly played.

    No, we're tied with the Clippers and Houston is a half game back.

    God, I hope the Allstar break rejuvenates this team.

    Fitting that the game should end on a fadeaway '3' point brick by the Blazers given their last minute execution. Really poor.

    Can McCollum start playing for one of Batum or Wes at the end. I'd rather he gain the experience than seeing Batum and Wes hoist up shit shots.

    CJ played 14 minutes tonight and had 11 points on good shooting. Mo played 26 and had 7 points.

    Well before the season I said this team would be #6 seed and I'm sticking to it.

    This has to be a set-up, right? Lillard with 6 is the answer you're looking for?

    Portland looking to go from tied for #1 in the West to no HCA in the span of about 10 games. Yuck!

    Thank God for the all-star break. I'm ready for some frivolity.

    A coach should have considerable influence on shot selection though... Everyone seemingly has the green light to shoot from wherever they want, whenever they want on this team. This leads to undisciplined shots at bad times, like we saw from Nic tonight (and from Mo just about every night).

    Mo and CJ should get equal minutes. At least.

    I'll take aggressive turnovers, or turnovers dribbling in traffic over oddly lost weak, lazy half assed passes.

    You just know that last one was by design though. That's what gets me.

    Our playmakers, Lillard, Batum, and Mo, have no playmaking talent, so they try to compensate by jacking up impossible shots.

    Edit: They had 16 assists on 14 turnovers. The rest of our players has 10 assists on 2 turnovers.
