f** sampson *** garbage

 

Oh well LMA is ****in beast

Didn't think it was that bad, had the game tied til the end where we couldn't get stops when we cut it to three.

whatever lets move on

 

not a good starter.

 

Kelvin Sampson looks like a turtle. I really hate him and hope he is fired. As bad as McHale is every game he is absent I appreciate how better he is than Sampson.

 

Why? Just swap seats. That guy is sitting on the bench.

 

This team doesn't need Bev taking shots near the end of the game unless they are wide open corner threes.

Played Portland tough at home and they absolutely missed Asik tonight.

Good game. Lots to look forward too.

 

LMA is ridiculous. Christ.

 

Not to mention jack up almost 20 shots.

 

Sampson and bench not showing up lost this game. I still feel we are better then the Blazers.

 

Beverley has NOT played a good game. His offensive game was woeful. His defense was good, not great. Yes, he hustled and rebounded but as a PG, he was ineffective.

 

Sampson's rotations are beyond awful.

Can't wait till McHale returns.

The bench killed us at the beginning of the 4th. Thats what cost us this gsme.

 

Oh god this made me think if all those people want McHale fired idk what they are going to while Sampson is the interim head coach..

 

aldridge had the best game of his career and we shot 5/23 on 3's. and the refs didn't help us and 50/50 stuff seemed to bounce portland's way. not surprising we lost.


still feel like portland has to cool down at some point. their talent level doesn't say "19-4" and yet here we are.

 

Asik would've helped out tonight. The team needs another PF/C and I can't wait for the trade to happen too bad it will not help out the team during this road trip.

 

Bev played well on the defensive end but we really needed Lin to create on offense because Matthews was hounding Harden out there. We didnt take advantage of Lillard's terribadness on D tonight :\

 

Beverley was a -15. You can't just focus on one side of the floor.

 

So, I guess you let Howard get his and try to stop our 3 point shooting? Bad game from behind the arc tonight. That was the difference. Bad 4th qtr defense too.

 

Rough game.

We didn't actually play poorly, as much as Portland just played better. Jones was really overmatched tonight and kinda exemplified why we need that veteran PF. Parsons really hurt us in the first half. He was very un Chandler like.

Asik would have helped tremendously, also if we could have hit a three or gotten some good foul calls.

Oh well, on to the next one tomorrow!
