he needs to be more patient and stop trying to push tempo when the defense is set
other than that he’s ok
"Some things you just can't question. Like you can't question why two plus two is four. So don't question it, don't try to look it up. I don't know who made it, all I know is it was put in my head that two plus two is four. So certain things happen. Why does it rain? Why am I so sexy? I don't know."

i think it's nate
i heard him screaming at jamal to pass the ball to nic when he was covered by 3 guys.
nate just wants to run and take quick shots it seems. doesn’t really care about the efficiency. it’s stupid.
PHILLY!
i don't really think getting into a fastbreak battle against chris paul, blake griffin and deandre jordan is the best plan
but then again, maybe that’s why i’m not an NBA coach

Hey! We’re only down by 8!!
Blazers basketball? Just basketball you say? More like a way of life
One quarter without them turning it over
And we’re down 30
It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong. I am NOT a big man.
Hopefully we outscore them by 9 in the 2nd half!

Nate should tell Felton that he doesn't need to dribble into traffic any chance he gets. He can actually run a play and get someone a quality shot.
Too many risky plays that didn’t end with points for Portland. I prefer the boring old Aldridge post up.
Not when Nate wants the shot up before the clock hits 14...

running theme trhough 4 games
1) atrocious half court offense
2) complete inability to draw foul shots.

Felton has 5 TO's in 19:51 MIN

Well our offense consists of...
1. Pass it around the perimeter until we turn it over
2. Dump it into the post while 4 guys stand around
3. Go one on one and throw up a brick
4. Turn over before half court
How about some off the ball movement and cuts to the basket?
What happened to the stream?
I was watching the game, and then it switched off and said ‘subscription not available’, and now i can get it to play again. Anyone else having this problem?
Looks like Felton is the New Miller

Going year-to-year on a very reasonable contract. We should have kept that situation and drafted a real PGOTF instead of going second-tier with Felton.

Even so, he doesn't look like he's really fighting for deep position.
Or forcing the issue rather. Who knows, maybe he’ll get some calls.
Guys just aren't active.
The offense is too slow, and it’s not even that the Clippers are playing great defense.
If we're gonna take a bunch of crappy long 2's,
why not put crawford in, he can at least hit crappy shots

Came up with a formula years ago
If the lead is more than 2 1/2 times the minutes remaining, turn it off. Doesn’t work at the end of the game, or when BRoy goes nuts against Dallas, but most of the time it’s solid.
Steve Goodman lives.
Someone point out a single play we run in the half court besides
“Someone get the ball and go one on one”.
That's not true.
"Someone get the ball and go one on one" has always been his strong suit in Portland.
That being said, I think Nate’s annoyed too. I’m not sure where the breakdown is.
That's what I meant
He has many good qualities, but he’s not exactly an Xs and Os guy.

Of course they will
Because the streakiness with their shot still exists. We changed Felton for Dre which didnt improve the shooting overall, and brought in the extremely streaky Crawford for Fernandez. An upgrade for ure, but Jamal is extremely streaky with his shot and plays worse defense than rudy and is a worse passer.
We didnt really improve.

the occasional big night. He isn’t there every night though which is what we need.
So tired of the constant scrambling and switching on every screen..
Will it ever change? Why do we switch on every single screen leading to centers guarding PGs, and SGs guarding PFs?

I think we are seeing why having a true backup PG is key
Crawford is good for spot duty but extended time exposes his poor ball handling
No he doesn't..his dribbling style leaves it exposed for steals
It’s happened quite a few times already this year

Steve. You complete us.
They look REALLY frustrated on the court.
At the refs, at themselves, at the fact even tip-ins aren’t going in.
Well if they get stomped and are mad about it
That’s okay. There are a lot of games left.
Steve Goodman lives.
Somethin is not right in his mind right now. I can't excuse an easy one like that.
Actually he’s had several tonight.
You have to give some credit to the Clippers front court with Jordan and Griffin. :(
It’s what the Blazers have to beat in a series to make it out of the first round of the playoffs. Some nights shots dont fall. New pg = some turnovers . But I’m not sure I understand the new empahsis on offensive fouls this season.
OKC doesn’t get an easier. Nico played just fine, so take a few steps back off him and Nate. There are still 62 games to play.

I haven't been this furstrated since...we were down 16 to the Mavs game 3 ;)
no BROY to save us from pathetic offense this time :(
sorry to be "That Guy" lol :)

Aldridge doesn't have the energy to fight for boards. He's making lazy attempts to tip the ball in. Last year
he would have boarded those and dunked it.
Pays to be a superstar in the NBA
Henne is the greatest and the Dolphins will go 14-2 this year and win the SB
We're playing pretty bad but
the officiating tonight is beyond awful as well. Not getting any favors here.

If Crawford breathes and wears a jersey
He earned his contract. We got him for nothing.

Looks like I missed most of a very ugly game
Please win this!
not fair! you should've had to endure this ENTIRE nightmare!
wake me in 2012
Holy crap, that's exactly why you sign a guy like Crawford.
When no one can bring anything he comes off the bench, and wham! Well done.

we just don’t have anyone- including LMA who is way too inconsistent- who can hit those shots like Paul can or play with as much intensity as Blake Griffin does.
He is - By DS, not to be confused with Sterling - what a crock.

Is anyone scared of Crawford's gunmanship ?
im kinda worried he might shoot us out of games by shooting contested jumpers over double teams
WITH ODEN ON OUR SIDE
You live by the Crawford
And die by the Crawford
Henne is the greatest and the Dolphins will go 14-2 this year and win the SB
When you're losing by a zillion, that's okay though
Don’t want to see it in tight games.
Steve Goodman lives.
thats what the man does...some nights he will shoot us out, some he will bring us back
Basket's that way, Chief!
You know 100% both scenarios will happen with Crawford
You just hope its much more good than bad. Tonight its very good. Without him theres no chance
Henne is the greatest and the Dolphins will go 14-2 this year and win the SB
As long as he's used correctly, like tonight.
Our “All Stars” aren’t bringing squat.

He is going to hot dog sometimes but as you can see he can get it done.

why not just spot the team with the "superstar" 20
and call the game down the middle, instead of making a joke out of it?
"(creative University of Oregon fan quote!)"
This team is pretty good.
They played probably one of the worst games we will see this season, and they didn’t stay down against a pretty good and intimidating team.
I don't think the clippers are that good.
I think the nba wants them to be, but I am not sold.

his hand was out

OMG HE DDIDNT HAVE CONTROL OF TEH BALL WHILE SLIPPING
AND THEN HIS HAND WAS OUT OF BOUNDS WHEN CALLING FOR TIMEOUT.

There was like three turnovers before the timeout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get well Greg! Rip City is still behind you!
Is the hand not part of the body now...smh

C'mon Blazers!!!
Sorry for the late tune-in, but I thought I’d watch right when it mattered!
Travel, and he had his hand totally out of bounds on the ground. Commentators agree with the refs and talk about how good CP3 is.
SIGH.
Shit refs.

Clippers would’ve lost this game if it was Bledsoe or Gordon there instead of Paul. Amazing play. We need a guy who can step it up late in games.

Get well Greg! Rip City is still behind you!
Well, this game could have ended much much worse.
gotta love the heart to get back in it.
They didn't benefit on that out of bounds play. They ran off a few more seconds but doubt that would have changed the outcome.
The Clippers are still a bad team without Chris Paul.
we're not gonna win many games,
8 on 5. Say what you want about effort but that was a terribly officiated game. Seems like david stern likes his little clips a bit too much.
"(creative University of Oregon fan quote!)"
and we scored 36 in the 4th
you cant win games when you dont get calls. take another look at that time out call, or the last shot by crawford. both are travesties of officiating.
"(creative University of Oregon fan quote!)"
I'm a bit amazed at...
how bad the Clippers are. Portland chokes themselves for 3 qtrs, not breaking 20 in any of those and still has a chance to win? I wouldn’t be feeling good about this victory in LA.
