It's weird how this team can lose big to a team like LA, lose two offensive players, and then somehow put fear into a team like Portland. Crazy. Guess Blazer fans got their monies worth...first quarter looked like a nasty blowout.


It was Elf who was beasting that game and got taken out, this one too btw. You gotta ride the players that got you there even if they are rookies. Put some trust in your guys.

I was happy to see Lillard miss a couple 3s off the dribble late in the game, even though Matthews hit one off his back foot.

Gordan needs to play the 4 spot when he comes back and we need to find a sf that averages in the mid twenties a game in the off season. Hard to find but they have the cash.

You ain't lying. Your coach sucks. 41 more games until his ass is outta here.

The most frustrating thing about the foul on Elfrid's block is that we don't have another highlight reel block to go to the next time we play Portland. :D

Back to this one. I was about to start a thread to pour one out for Moe after Marble's awesome game. But that dunk blew me away. I hope he gets a few minutes here and there so I can see that one or two more times this season. :)

actually, I think he coached okay but it would be nice if he got a t every once in a while when his players are getting abused by the refs. Also, can you defend not playing Marble down the stretch? Was it not a close game when he came out?

Honestly... I think JV did a good job coaching tonight. He's awful most of the time, but when he coaches a decent game, I'll give it to him. And yes, I'm okay putting the vets in late in a close game, even if they aren't shooting well. Marble shot 50% but was 0-2 from 3. He made one floater, two dunks and a jumper. Gordon and Frye were off tonight but their history shows they can make big shots.. I'm okay with having them in there. Lord knows SVG would have done the same thing.

There is one guy that fits your criteria: Lebron James. Good luck with that.

Loved having another smart, skilled, solid defensive player on the court tonight in Marble. Really makes a difference. Did not miss Fournier at all the way he's been playing.

You will not just find a SF in the offseason that averages mid 20's. The only SF's doing that are LeBron, Durant, & Melo. Harris is our best bet, even though you hate him and the majority of our team.

Elf
Dipo
Marble
AG
Vuc (for an efficient shot on offense)

Get hyped.

Spoiler:
Over/under on actual minutes this lineup will play this year with Jacque at the helm: 3

Would be super fun to watch but with the lack of consistent shooting, I doubt we'll see much of it...

So when we "just find one" player that can average 25, we'll be good? Henny hurry up and just find one already..

We dont need a 25 ppg scorer, we just need a closer. Hedo used to be that guy for us. If we can find a guy who can handle the ball and score in a pressure situation we will be fine. Dipo has potential to be that guy I think.

Maybe Oladipo should start jacking up 3s late in the game like Lillard! ;)
