Hard to blame him. He had a really tough night and to top it off, he had to sit on the bench watching Lillard (a guy picked after him) be given the ball time after time and convert like a superstar.

Should he have supported his team and been cheering? Sure, but it's hard to ignore the "human" aspect of being upset he didn't play well while another rook lights it up.

If he played better, Crawford wouldn't have been in the game late. I don't know if there is rivalry there with Beal and Crawford, a dislike or he's just acting like he's 19.

Crawford's BBIQ is too feeble to understand the consequences of his actions. He's a basketball innocent.

From the balls of babes... or something to that effect. I agree though. Lucky vs clutch.

Just looking through the last 10 pages or so of the game thread.. we have to be the most negative fanbase ever. Seriously.

Granted, I guess the recent history of this team will do that to you.

I definitely am coming to seriously appreciate Webster.

Nene finally had a really good game.

Okafor another solid effort.

Nice road win with little to no help from the refs.

Man, that was a fun game...John Wall looked drunk out there tonight, Beal, Booker, and Seraphin laid eggs, but we still managed to pull off a win on the road. Very impressive!

White towel around his neck, right? I thought that was him? I could be mistaken.. Either way, great road win! Good to see em' come out on top of a couple of these here lately!!

Beal is celebrating, WTF you dudes talking about?

Not disagreeing with that at all. I didn't say it was a bad decision to keep Craw in, just that it's natural for Beal to be upset (either with the coach or himself) that he was sitting on the bench after playing one of his worst games while Lillard shows why he's the likely ROY.

Okafor and Nene did some real solid work on the boards. Hickson usually gets off but not today.

Emeka's 13 points and 13 rebounds. Nene 24 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals -- was huge tonight. POTG without a doubt, even with Jordan Crawford hitting the game winner.

Webster was huge in his return to Portland. 8-11FG, 4-6 3PT, tied for game-high with 24 points.

Props to Wittman for playing Webster 38 minutes.

Let not leave out Randy.

That had to be one of the worst coached games I have ever seen.

Never should have been that close.

Wall was god awful. Total regression. Terrible pace. Forced passes. Just awful.
Beal was afraid to shoot all night.
Kevin was terrible on defense and forced shots. Game screamed to give Ves a chance but nothing.

Nene, Webster, Price and Big Balls saved the day.

Nene has 17 after the first quarter and finished with 24 ? Price ran the offense to the post. John sucked.
Webster was on first and Randy pretty much sat him ?

Good stuff. I love how we are reacting about a non-reaction after a crazy buzzer beater.

beal prob wanted an opportunity to redeem himself in the 2nd half and was pissed he didn't get the chance to contribute to the big win. could be a good thing, let's see what he does with his next opportunity

edit: just saw the video, looks like he's in there

Yep, Nene was the man tonight, hands down!

John Wall, Beal, Seraphin stunk up the joint and we still won! This team is on a roll!

What that tells is veterans Nene, Okafor, Webster, and Ariza are doing their jobs and getting it done.

Nene was a man possessed tonight. He was absolutely dominant. He basically made up for the stinker of a performance from both Wall and Beal.

And gotta give credit to Webster and Mr. Big Balls, they stepped up as well.

Nene beasted. He did every-damn-thing

I edited. My reaction is now a non-reaction. Beal looks up to Crawford from all I have seen previously.

[quote="AFM"]Beal is celebrating, WTF you dudes talking about?

They showed another angle on TV. First angle he had no reaction on his face. Then he must have joined the celebration late.
