We’ve done it a few times and come up short a few times this year, but at least we’re finally putting ourselves in position to get the experience of what works and what doesn’t. Also, I’ll take a 3 point loss in Portland with Dame in flamethrower mode and AG out. Bull****. Both games were very winnable for us. I'm tired of our boys not taking care of the basketball or taking poor shots at the wrong time. No moral victories. We were kicking both of their asses and we lost. Denver jumped us early and those games happen, but you have to win games that you control for 2 and a half quarters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lillard beating you ok fine but man come on Both were winnable games, no moral victories. we really do have to execute better, plain and simple. A ton of opportunities man gosh What do you mean we should have won that? 19 threes. -10 in offensive rebounds. -3 in turnovers. That was a 12 point loss disguised as a 3 point loss because they missed 8 freethrows in the last 2 minutes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,210 Report post Posted November 29, 2018 Just now, Jay Magic said: Lillard did great. But 2nd chance points...REBOUNDING yet again...and costly turnovers cost us the game. Right. All parts of a team that has no idea how to close a game panicking down the stretch. We’ve already learned how to pull off these games at home, but doing it on the road, especially in a place like Portland, is the next step. We’re gonna be fine. We need to address our backup point guard situation and get Evan out of this funk. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J-Mac 80 Report post Posted November 29, 2018 Its weird to me how time is taken off, if I get the ball with 5.7 why is it now 4.7 because of the clock not starting. Then later brought down to 0.9. I rather just have 5.7 sec and inbound from under Portland basket Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way you look at it we had a shot to win at the end and failed to get the job done due to some ill advised turnovers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can't really complain much, we are better than we were expecting to be this year. yeah i get that. But would be better to come away with wins when you have the chance. We had this game there. Execution ...game over. But yes i guess we can be happier.. I just want more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They definately deserved it more because they made less mistakes then us. That's the only reason why they won. Not cause of Lillard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With that the expectation levels have gone up. A 10-12 record ain't too shabby right now. After the Phoenix game that will be an 11-12 record and a 2-3 road trip.
