After that turn over that was a horrible break, Blake really messed up there

[Recently]

More stupid mistakes

we missed way too much free throws which cost us the game...this is one of the ridiculous games I've ever watched.

[mkwest]

Blazers win 100-91. Free-throws costly once again for the Clippers. Turning the ball over at crucial moments also did us in.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Too many bad turn overs down the stretch, a lot of missed free throws. We now have loss number 10 on the road. I like how we battled back but we came up short. Tomorrow won't be easy, we put a lot into this one and came up short. I hope we have enough energy for the Kings tomorrow.

Very frustrating game to watch. Portland looked awful tonight. Blakes blown fast break and missed free throws were costly but Vinny also annoyed me.

About 3-4 mins to go he left Bledsoe in there. It seemed too long for me. I think he had back to back turnovers before Baron came back in. I would much rather have Baron out there to close, especially in a physical game.

Not sure about the flagrant calls. Not sure why the one on Baron at the end wasnt a flagrant against him despite being very similar to Cookies. Also dont understand why one wasnt called on the 2 arm swipe to Craig Smiths face by Fernandez.

I'm really disappointed in the way some of the players acted out. The flagrant 2 call on Cook was a little silly, but Craig Smith's reaction to a foul that would've sent HIM to the FT line was WAAAAAY inappropriate. Like, he doesn't know those actions are gonna cost the team ultimately? There was a nice comeback there, but all in all I'm really disappointed in this one. Just bad. Bad form. Bad teamwork. Bad attitudes. Like I said on my twitter, they all need a stiff drink, some good sleep and a stern talking-to from their mamas. Buncha whiny brats!

No more moral victories. You gotta get the real ones! I'm worried they're settling in to losing---at a certain point it gets comfortable. But I've said before the Kings are usually the perfect remedy for a losing streak, so we'll see how tomorrow goes. But...the Blazers are going home saying the same thing about us tonight :Roll:
