    Yeah but in @AldoTrapani 's defense, for once, Dame should have taken that three obviously. It was a very rare choke by Dame. I'm sure he's going to let it motivate him to be more locked in going forward.

    How do you think Dame went on that streak of 48-50 point games this season?

    1000% Dame draws attention, spreads out the defense, makes big shots. Boston has a great team, they won by 4, tip you cap and move on!

    The thing is Dame had an opportunity before the timeout and what did he do, he threw a shitty pass. He got lucky Nurk got hit in the face and the Blazers got it back.

    Yeah Dame helped us get back in the game but he threw it away too

    Love how all the naysayers come out to talk smack. Y'all seem to get off when the Blazers lose. That's fine. Blazers will have the last laugh.

    Why is that though? Because the moronic coach can’t get him a clean look at the 3-pt line? How many wide open looks did Tatum and Brown get from 3 today? How many did Dame get?

    Dude was gassed, leaving it all on the line today. CC you're better than that i thought. He's not in total game shape yet. His heart, desire, and unparalleled will got us close.

    Some good stuff. 31 assists on 45 field goals. Is that a season high?

    And I love how all the Stotts fanboys continue to make excuses for the terrible game plan, especially on the defensive end.

    Bro. It was not Stotts that made that decision.

    Increases our chances of catching them or at least staying within 4 games to force a play-in game. The Spurs passing us isn't great, but they don't seem like a legit threat, right?

    Celtics beat us in the first half like a parade drum....great team...I'm amazed we ever took a lead let alone had a chance to win it! Nurk looked gassed at the end, I'd have left Hassan on the floor with fresh legs...get the next one! Showed a lot of heart in the second half! Go Blazers! Zach had a butterfingered game...gave up a lot of possessions by not hanging onto a pass or losing control of the ball.

    Is it wrong of me to laugh when I see players looking sad when an opponent scores, while on their backs they're wearing "How Many More" or "Enough"?

    Probably.

    I really hope a coaching change is made sooner rather than later so we don’t waste away Dame’s and Nurkic’s careers.

    Yeah that was one thing Whiteside was doing well. However they were more active and were getting better looks with Nurk handling the ball at the top of the key. I also though they should have stayed with Collins in crunch time. Melo didn't hurt them but Zach was playing better on the defensive end.
