    Blazers blow out Kings in Sacramento.

    Lakers got blown out by Kings in Sacramento.

    Lakers? Elite? I think not.

    "Blakey" is the only one distributing the ball.

    Our D is terrible, there's just no way around that.

    Then again, Utah is just hitting its shots, and it seems like most teams hit their shots against us. Maybe it's just bad luck on our part.

    That was terrible by Roy. I usually don't think Roy can do no wrong but there is no way he shouldn't have passed the ball to Rudy in that last 4 seconds. He didn't even get the shot off in time and Rudy was ahead with nobody on him. I know I shouldn't be pissed but I have seen Roy not pass to Rudy before when he should What is up with Roy and Rudy.:dunno:

    Hey Brandon -

    When there's 3 seconds left and Rudy's 10' in front of you calling for the ball, PASS THE BALL! That was as bad a decision as he made against Orlando. Ugh. We are playing STUPID.

    What do you mean by elite? Top 2? Top 5? We have the third best record in the very competitive Western Conference and we've played much more difficult schedule than any other team. And we've played double the road games as our home games.

    And somehow the Kings are a measuring stick? You fail.

    Or maybe eight straight games without two consecutive being at home.

    Dude. You respond to that funny post but not my other post about our resume this season. We have played almost twice as many road games as home games. We've won more than half of our road games. We've beaten quality playoff teams.

    You have to be a top defensive team to be an elite team in the NBA...right now the Blazers aren't there.

    I almost want to quit watching. We have a guy on the bench in Bayless who can deliver toughness, defense, and penetration, yet Nate keeps benching him.
    He isn't your average rookie. We are wasting him right now.
    Nate McMillian basketball is so painful to watch.
    Oh yea, Draft Psycho T! We need someone who doesn't give a fuck and just balls out 110% and isn't afraid to REBOUND!

    After tonight, we drop to about 6-7th seed, and according to you, that's not elite.

    Out of a 10 the Blazers energy in the first half was maybe a 4.

    Lets hope that the team comes out in the second half with renewed energy because they're not doing nearly enough right now to have a chance to win the game.

    Where do I even imply that I'm throwing in the towel? I just said we weren't an elite team, which we're clearly not. I think we're a 6-7th seed team.

    You said that after tonight, we fall to 6-7 seed. That means you have thrown in the towel for this game. You've already determined that we will lose.
