    Rockets deserve this loss and hopefully they learn from it.

    There were many possessions when we got up that we just threw the ball away willy nilly and should have saw in the 3rd qtr that the Blazers were treating this like a playoff game for some reason.

    The team will learn the hard way not to underestimate teams or they will lose a lot more games and ruin the good season they were having.

    For the Blazers to come into your home court on a b2b and win is shameful and its going to take a win streak or something to get that taste out of their mouths.

    The team DESPERATELY needs Tari/Bari back, there just is no fire on this team without those guys.

    Doesn't matter that the team lost, Jalen scored 29, the price of the brick is going up!

    The defense has been terrible lately too. Either the early part of the season was a fluke or this team REALLY needs Jabari and Tari.

    30-10-8 = overrated.
    Right; needs to average 45-15-12.

    Why was 5 ft 3 FVV out there guarding the 3 point line for the game tying shot?

    Benching Cam when he was on fire was questionable decision and going two midget as back court with Jalen as SF? Ime I know we are missing Bari &Tari but why did we go offensive line up when we were giving the best shooting nights to Blazers?

    Our rebounding is quite literally losing us games now in the crunch time. We need to trade for length and height.

    I am not going to overreact like some but c’mon man…losing to the Blazers at home?? Easily the worst loss of the season - we can’t be losing to teams like this at home.

    That final offensive possession before going into OT was a horrible setup.

    How can Jalen play 39 minutes and not get a single rebound?
