This is an outrage

There are supposed to be wearing green!!!

Look, don’t say your going to wear green if your not.

f—n organization. I have a feeling that they enjoy pissing off the fans.

wtf they just gave up 7 points in 54 seconds...this is bull crap

by highriser on Apr 11, 2009 8:37 PM PDT reply actions

Nate McMillan probably had a fiery halftime speech written in his head

that he had to throw out due to that last 90 seconds… he’s probably speechless in there.

we close out quarters horribly, nice plays from EJ so far

by shoothoop on Apr 11, 2009 9:12 PM PDT reply actions

i like jones

by shoothoop on Apr 11, 2009 9:15 PM PDT reply actions

if we were shooting at least 50% and zach made the shots he usually makes we would have the lead right now. blazers are playing horribly and for the most part their offense is stagnant. theyre shooting 42%

but we’re shooting 40% sigh

by shoothoop on Apr 11, 2009 9:27 PM PDT reply actions

EJ with the monster dunk!!

by shoothoop on Apr 11, 2009 9:30 PM PDT reply actions

and skinner with 2 monster blocks!

wow staples is as loud as ive ever heard it

by shoothoop on Apr 11, 2009 9:34 PM PDT reply actions

gordons rebound numbers have improved these past few games.

by shoothoop on Apr 11, 2009 9:36 PM PDT reply actions

the momentum just slipped away :[

by shoothoop on Apr 11, 2009 9:39 PM PDT reply actions

No no no Don't put Davis in!! Now we're down by 10.

by eastie Rich on Apr 11, 2009 9:43 PM PDT reply actions

well at least they kept it close.. sigh. it was a tie game and then we let them get up by 10.

by shoothoop on Apr 11, 2009 9:43 PM PDT reply actions

I wanted a close but not lose ground to the wizards

by Qlippers on Apr 11, 2009 9:47 PM PDT reply actions

Same record as the wiz

by Qlippers on Apr 11, 2009 9:48 PM PDT reply actions

Remember when we wanted Cassell to coach the team and he

pretty much did on the floor? How about Davis, anybody want him running the team?
Oh I know there’s Davis fans here but we finally took the lead with MT on the floor and the Super Genius coach put BD back in. Foregone conclusion.

by eastie Rich on Apr 11, 2009 9:53 PM PDT reply actions

i totally agree, when baron stepped on the floor the momentum shifted over to portland. just another sign that dunleavy has no idea what hes doing. you’d think he’d realize that maybe it’d be a smart idea to keep in the guys that got the game tied in the first place.

if it isnt broken dont fix it

by shoothoop on Apr 11, 2009 10:08 PM PDT up reply actions

I thought we were up by two at that point. Well, tied isn't bad either.

Then we get Baron half walking half trotting up the floor. Making passes to Kaman when he’s 15 feet from the basket, throwing up wild shots. Man he’s so bad I trade him for new uniforms.

by eastie Rich on Apr 11, 2009 10:28 PM PDT up reply actions

Maybe Coach told him to tank b/c we can't lose ground to the Wiz

by Qlippers on Apr 11, 2009 11:08 PM PDT up reply actions

baron entered the game when we were tied, and then portland went on a run. i hate him this season, ugh.

EJ’s dunk was amazing :‘) this whole game he kept us in it, especially in the beginning when no one besides him could hit a shot. and skinner’s blocks were note-worthy. both those plays helped shift the momentum… only if we could have held on. at least we kept it close.
only if randolph had made the shots he usually makes, darn.
