Listen, we got owned by him last weekend, now its your turn, shut up and take your lumps, boys

Why would the refs call travel on the last play of the game? You guys want them to not call a foul and let the players play, yet you want them to call a travel and not them play? You cant have it both ways...either you want the refs to swallow their whistles and not call a foul or you want them to call it tight, stop being hypocrites. Refs usually just let the players play out the last play of the game, no matter how hard the player is hit.

LMAO @ this faker boy. I remember you faker fans crying for a foul on Kobe when he choked that layup and got striped by Gibson. And we are the hypocrites? LOL. Sure Lebron owned us in the fourth, but he has been owning everybody this year and that's including your fanboy Kobe. Kobe got distroyed by Lebron. Couldn't even get a step ahead of Lebron.

Look, I think most of us understand that superstars will always get their calls so the call at the end of the game was understandable. It was uncalled for for you to come on the Blazer board and insult us after a very disappointing loss. If you want to think that, fine, but don't come over to the Blazer board with your immature attitude if this is all you're going to tell us.

Blazers owned themselves by shooting bricks all night.

I don't know why we're so on about the refs every single time we lose, though. It's embarrassing. It seems to coincide with every game where we shoot around 35%, but it's the refs, not our horrible shooting that's the problem.

Yeah, right. We make a few of our wide open shots and the game's not close enough for the refs to affect it.

also...portland loses by one, but cleveland has a 3 point possesion when they rebound the 2nd of 2 fouls shots and get fouled shooting...the guy makes both.

The blazers had cleaned that up lately, tonight was a bad time to forget the lesson.

Tough loss tonight. The first heart breaker for me was when we finally contested a Lebron 3 pointer we let Gooden get the board. He converts 1 of 2 to make it a one point game.

The second was letting Lebron get it on their final possession. He was the only guy in double figures for them. Why not double team and make some else try to beat us with 4 tics on the clock?

Good luck the rest of the year...Roy has been a joy to watch whenever you guys have been on national TV.

Oh and who's this btw?? :love:

so pretty

Very tough loss.
Especially since this was on ESPN.

Lebron looked very good. He has to be on track to be one of the best to play the game ever.

Wish we had a stronger defensive presence in the middle at the end of the game.
Not only did Lebron just go around Roy, he also evaded effortlessly a slow rotating Aldridge (Aldridge needs to really work on the defensive end this offseason).
Przybilla should of been in the middle to stop that drive at the end.

BUT, 35% shooting is what loss this in the end.

Maybe...but 35% shooting had them an 11 point lead with four minutes to go.

Let's face it, this team is crap right now. The continued optimism during our 4-6 L10 is mind boggling. It could easily be 2-8 or 1-9. We have issues.

Did Jack and Frye seem to disappear in the 2nd half? I thought maybe that trade rumor came true, but then Outlaw came into the game so I knew it couldn't be. Tough loss. I thought Outlaw should have done more than just move out of the way on LeBron's last drive, as well. 3 guys had a shot at him and all missed. OUCH!!!

Yeah I would say LeBron is the reason why we lost, he had a monster game and outplayed everyone on the Blazers the entire fourth quarter.

Yeah I was shattered to see LayBron Le it in

The ESPN "Highlights" were as follows:

LeBron dunk in the 1st
LeBron dunk in the 2nd
LeBron hurt
Lebron hurt
LeBron 3
LeBron 3
LeBron layup

Followed by more Harris to portland, as well as kidd to portland talks.

The guy said that it would be built around Raef's contract, and either Travis or Channing, and Portland doesn't want to part with either (to get kidd)

Jack wasn't there the whole game. He played absolutely awful, and if ircc, didn't have a single FG all night.

We can discuss if Joel should have been in at the end of the game (he should have btw), but the real fact of the matter is that the Blazers played a pretty poor game. Yes, even playing poorly had us up by 11 points, but we got very little from our bench tonight and both Martell and Blake struggled to hit shots they normally knock down. Had a few of those guys hit their shots at their normal clip, this would have been a going away win. So you can be upset about the final play all you want, but the Blazers did themselves absolutely no favors in this game.
