    If we can't win a back-to-back Blazers on our home court, I see in no way we can win them in playoffs.

    Ugly... This team goes as Donuts goes. He needs to do a better job demanding the ball, and we need to make a concious effort getting him the ball.

    If you leave Robin Lopez wide open in the paint, odds are he's gonna make a layup or dunk. Our interior defense is non-existent right now and we're giving up easy penetration to all of their guards, not just Lillard.

    BTW, the Grizzlies just knocked off the Hawks, so the Rockets have to win tonight just to keep pace with Memphis.

    I missed those time early in the season when Dwight was out when we could count on two things; Harden's brilliance and heroics and our stellar team defense.

    Now, can only count on Harden.

    For two possessions in a row, we let them dump it to a rolling Robin ****ing Lopez for an easy two.

    Our defense has been terrible, way to easy for other team to penetrate.
    On offense, runs some play for DMo please. We wont outshoot the Blazers.

    We will just agree to disagree then. I don't think we are watching the same game. If the Blazers were shooting lights out and our effort was good...you might have something. I think you are being most gullible here. Who else here sees really good effort and just outstanding shooting as being the reason for us being behind ?

    So much complaining in here, just edge it back to 6-8 points and they will tire. If not, who cares were going to lose games without a defensive anchor against massive teams like Portland we have no size. Maybe money could get off his ass and trade for miles plumlee

    I also stated we needed to play defense and defense consistently count. The last two games we played solid defense.

    Beverley is so stupid, he can see Batum moving over and still tries the pass

    I see both as reasons. But principally I see little rim protection and a PG that breaks down the perimeter D too easily because our defender goes for the steal rather than staying in front of his man.
