    Somehow Rondo lucked into another Big Three - AD is KG, Mirotic is Ray Allen and Holiday is Paul Pierce.

    I wonder if Silver is going to send us a warning about tanking in the playoffs?

    For those screaming for adjustments, we can't suddenly change our style of play and start passing the ball better and cutting more, and changing our attack.

    These contingencies should have been built in from the start of the season for this very purpose. Either Terry and staff are so stubborn that they don't want to change, or our players are incapable of executing a different game plan. Ultimately, regardless of why, the blame should fall on the coaching and front office staff.

    unforced turnovers all game....way too many ....the end score reflected the 20 pts they got off our sloppy play..we didn't take care of the ball at all and gave up possession after possession....Dame and CJ had a ton of turnovers that weren't even contested

    In a nutshell. I have felt this way from game one. Do not even wast my time on a game when I tune in and see that they have given up on team ball.

    You are all wrong, of course, and the assholes who followed me thread to thread, telling me "There you go again" when I commented on anything completely unrelated to this, driving me off the board, are right: There is nothing wrong with the Blazers. Look at the standings.

    Thanks for the feedback. I might suggest that a slightly more positive feedback would have a better result.
