Several Blazers players were trapped in an elevator for thirty minutes yesterday.

I don't think we have dropped four in a row all season.

This SHOULD be a win.


So much for my pregame analysis. Four losses in a row for the first time all season.

Morris pretty easily, with Theis next up.

If this team does indeed flip some switch during the playoffs, I'm not sure if I would be pleasantly surprised or infuriated at first

I don't even really think this deserves an AOS tonight. This is what the team is. Solid talent, mediocre team.

i must say, after coming to terms that this team just simply isn't good enough to win a championship, these losses do not upset me

I'm numb to this as well but I have to do this with four Ls in a row plus many people complaining that Toronto loss wasn't an AOS.

No AOS tonight. We got open looks all night long and just couldn't hit them. Everyone that got **** on tonight did a lot of good things imo. Except Theis, who gave effort but was just an ice cube.

I'm working in 1,5 hour.
I'll make a coffee and i will begin my day.....these things could have been so much easier for me, if the team was helping a little bit.
You know...win every now and then.
Ruined my day one more time. I'm not even pissed. I feel empty and i don't know what's worse.

Absolutely. A light bulb went off in my head tonight. This team really is overrated talent wise.

B2b against a well rested Portland, I would’ve put this at a loss anyway.

But losing to the Bulls, Clippers, Lakers, Orlando twice etc etc are the real terrible ones.

Toronto loss was embarassing. Should have been a team AOS. Didn't even log back in to the board. Tonight was different.

Smart taking late 3's is an opposing coaches wet dream.

The team has done the complete opposite of everything the coach has wanted. This **** is beyond repair IMO.

I HATE watching these games.

See you guys in the first round

No AOS shame needed, but I still give it to Morris. Not just for today, for the past two months, too. Brad, for heaven's sake, if I see him in the starting lineup next game again...

Smart took one incredibly dumb shot, but let's be honest here, apart from that, he did well.

I’m only mad at myself for being such a diehard fan that I keep thinking we can win despite the fact that I don’t even like this (current) team.

Back in October, none of us thought this team could lose 4 in a row.

At least we can't blame this one on Terry.

I said this was a scheduled loss 3 days ago. But don't worry they'll beat the wizards (maybe) and there will be a ton of people feeling good about the team saying they figured it out.
