Tough loss

[notime]

Boy some of you are seriously {edited-veiled cursing} pathetic just throwing that out there

[luckyman]

If your offense has Jrue flipping the ball over his head not once but twice, coach gotta call a T.O. and put in a new set. Make sure they swing the ball and use all 5 guys. Not 3 or 4. Too easy to defend when you are desperate.

Awful 4th.

[RekeHavoc]

We missed shots we normally make, no need to freak out. We'll be fine.

[sting]

Monty ball, how many leads did we blow last year.

[dcoop]

Wasting a legends early years

[speedyG]

It is not Monty's fault that our guards are low IQ, sorry. You act like you have proof that Monty doesn't tell them to do this. Evans is 5-18 and made poor decisions in critical moments. That is not on Monty. It is easy to blame Monty because it's a much easier fix to get a new coach rather than move a big contract.

It seemed like the gameplan was AD roll to the basket, Tyreke drive and throw up one of his layup attempts for AD to putback.. I could be wrong but it seemed like Monty's design

I don't understand how Davis doesn't see the ball more down the stretch. Not to mention how many times did we come up empty because of a driving out of control layup. Terrible basketball I.Q.

yeah, it's pathetic how die hard fans become so emotional after watching a team give an important game away...

[kth225]

Die hard really? Some of these posts as mentioned pathetic get over yourself

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

13 points in the last quarter is a bloody joke!!!

[UNO Gracias]

Ugh. Listening to the ESPN highlights is just as painfull. They called Holliday Collison. Wth is Collison?

[Asteptooslow]

I'm forlorn right now.

[jrdbrn]

We are forever average.

[kth225]

Jrue came in the game and start jacking up bad shots and 3 backward layups smh

Played a beautiful game up until it really mattered, which is at least partially encouraging. But the I.Q. problems really become glaring in moments where things break down like that. This team seems to still occasionally lose its focus pretty easily.

[BuzzmanD]

Low basketball I.Q. team.

I just wonder if anyone within the organization or ownership will figure this out. The low I.Q is a reflection of the man running this ship. Until we can get a coach that has the intellect needed to win at this level we will never go anywhere.

Anyone who made it through the Shinn era is a die hard fan to me. I think you're the one sitting on his high horse, not me.

[Alg_Hornet]

Nba teams go on runs. The message has to be to keep our composure and have a go to play or player when runs occur. We completely melt and get away from everything that was working for us. Can't lose composure

[Asteptooslow]

Jrue and Reke 10 for 37

[luckyman]

Moral victory is this is the worst I've seen Portland get beat up...until the 4th.

Really needed Asik against them. Really need this team to learn how to run a 4th quarter offense.

Irony.

[djpaul89]

So sad! So sad to be a fan of such garage. Never seen a NBA team that loses more huge leads than this one. Maybe one day we can get a head coach who can properly manage a game and protect leads. We have all seen this garbage long enough to realize we have a problem with who is managing the players we have and placing the best line ups in the game to protect those leads.

Where have you been this season? Convenient seeing you now...smh.
