  1. Got it 94-90 and then didn’t score again for almost **5 minutes**. That shit can’t happen with the amount of firepower we have.

    I know we have a slight bromance with Toronto, but I really dislike how loud the crowd was for them. Laker vibes, and it makes me dislike them a lot.

  3. llamalegs100

    You ain’t winning a game when you allow 15 offensive rebounds. All you Nurkic haters, better be quiet

  4. conorharris2

    We are really close the 6th best odds for Wemby right now. Just food for thought

  5. majorUser590

    Is it me or does 90% of this team only show up when we’re already up like 10+ or are playing a shit team. Literally every shot misses when it matters and they commit offensive fouls or turn the ball over when we are close to making it a game

  6. Montigue

    Refs called every Toronto *flop* during that comeback in the 4th. Absolutely killed our momentum

  7. BlackSocks88

    Abysmal first 12 and last 6

    Im at the point where I want roster changes just for changes

  8. Piano9717

    Got outrebounded 45-27. Really missed Nurk and Hart on that one.

  9. joshishrey

    Obviously frustrating game, but Toronto wins off turnovers and rebounds. We turn the ball over a lot and are missing our two best rebounders. The real issue is that the team has no real backup center, and Josh has masked how bad of a rebounder Jerami is.

    Putting in Watford and Eubanks over Payton in the 4th is criminal

  11. phil3199

    We will soon thank Chauncey for landing us Wemby. 33 games to go then we can fire him.

  12. good teams don’t blow fourth quarters at home to teams with losing records on the second half of a back to back… pain

  13. BlazeBloom

    It would be really nice if we had more center depth.

  14. Ishfluent

    Blazers were severely mismatched physically. This has been the theme for this team. Bigger teams that play aggressively are guaranteed a win.

  15. Dinggerson

    Tf was with that crowd, it felt like an away game

  16. Ishfluent

    In the 4th quarter the Chauncey offense starter with more iso ball. They got back into the game moving the ball.

  17. the silver lining of this game was watching jarami ball out in the 3rd. def my
    fav blazer along with GP2 and dame of course

  18. psilord-

    8 points in 29 mins for nas?
    14 points in 40 mins for ant?

    Lol

  19. Ishfluent

    You can’t win games starting down 20 in the first quarter. This team is never prepared to start games and that is on coaching.

  20. Ishfluent

    Ant is a great player. We just can’t continue to pair Dame with another ball dominant guard who can’t defend bigger players. This team has to deal with too many mismatches every single game.

  21. butterflyhole

    I’m having a hard time believing we’re a playoff team. Yeah we’re injured but we’ve been injured all year and our health doesn’t seem to be improving. We are running out of time to turn things around.

  22. Eat_the_city

    We got CLAPPED by a team that played late last night while we were on extended rest. Excruciating

  23. Ishfluent

    Blazers were off for 2 days and got pushed around by a raptors team that was on the back to back. Just not good enough.

  24. seenahaddad

    I blame ants out of bounds for breaking up the run. It seems like every time things click either ant or nurk has a dumb totally avoidable turnover like that that totally breaks any momentum. Granted that shouldn’t happen so it’s on the coaching staff as well for not making adjustments. This season seems lost as well and if Cronin does something then he better do it fast or what’s the point of saying you’re trying to compete. If chauncey loses a few more games I think we give brooks the interim title and find a legit coach (Snyder?) and put all the chips in next season.

  25. elecorby

    I have had a hard time actually watching most of the games this year. Turning more into background noise.

  26. Piano9717

    In the fourth quarter the entire offense was “give Dame the ball and GTFO.”

    Anfernee barely even touched the ball.

    Now if Ant is going to not touch the ball what is the point of playing him when he’s a negative on defense? We HAVE to draw up plays to get Ant in situations where he can score the ball, or not even play him because playing him and just not even looking for him is terrible.

  27. joesenseii

    We got absolutely destroyed in the paint on both ends of the floor

  28. alandwarinasia_

    we have no defense and our deep pool of flamethrowers cant make buckets unless the stars align and mercury is in retrograde. top 10 offense is a mirage, trade ant and lets be done with this nightmare

  29. harmonic-

    So sick of watching mediocre defense that can only win when dame goes supernova. Fire stotts.

  30. BehavioralSink

    Painfully aware that we’re not ready to contend, both the players and the coaching staff.

  31. AyKayAllDay47

    Portland lost primarily because they were out sized. Zero paint presence burned Portland the entire game.

  32. asmara1991man

    See why I want to tank? What’s the point of losing 3-4 in a row, then winning 1, losing 3 in a row, the winning 2 in a row, then losing 5 in a row, then winning 1, then losing 2 in a row, etc

    why ya like this shit? True definition of mediocracy
