    Yeah, and he took a beating for bringing up such possibilities.

    That is not even close to being true. This was on the starters

    I like TRob at times, but we are stuck with these guys. I don't see them getting much better from one game to the next. And who would be willing to trade for them?

    Good game, shitty ending. OKC lost the game on New Years Eve, and we lost the game tonight. I'll take it.

    Will make for a great matchup in the WCF.

    So we lost to a better team then us by 3 points. Doesn't mean were suddenly a bad team and destined for mediocrity. Our 3% hasn't been good the entire month of january and so far into February. Itll come back up, we have to many good 3 point shooters to have such a slump for the rest of the season.
    This team is in a slump and needs to figure out how to get out of it. Luckily we built a lot of cushion early into the season so we can hopefully figure out things before our playoff spot really becomes jeopardized.

    He had 5 rebounds in 7 min. He missed a couple of tips but I thought he played well. He actually has played Durant tough in two games. (Small sample size of course)

    I think it's true. When Freeland got hurt, Meyers came in and 5 possessions in a row couldn't defend the P and R, was in the wrong place on offensive sets, wrecked the ball movement,......poof......the lead disappears and the whole rhythm of the game changed. And TRob....he's just embarrassing.

    He had two buckets in that stretch and Wes had two bad turn overs. It was hardly all on him. The Blazers had the lead in a sea saw ending. Like most games it comes down to crunch time. They had the lead, missed a FT and gave up a 3 to Lamb. Ball game

    Fully how perspectives are. I thought they both did some good stuff. Considering it highly unlikely to be a contending year for the Blazers i'm happy they are going to be forced to get some burn, there's only one way to learn.

    Meyers wasn't shooting 25% in the fourth quarter. Just sayin'.

    Portland is still a contender and LA is a superstar.

    We're half a bench and a year away, but yes, I agree.

    There may be hope for those two yet, but right now I cringe every time they touch the ball, set a screen, or get exposed on defense. The bball instincts are just not there. This team needs guys like Freeland, Collison, etc. to fill that role.

    Hello earth, horrible to see you again.

    The outside shot isn't falling like it was and that has totally murdered the swagger.

    No question that the loss of Freeland is huge. And Leonard is not ready, but this game was on the starters. They didn't finish it.

    There's already a dedicated thread for our lack of swagger. Mods, please move!

    I'm surprised Fez even knows what swagger is.
