    I cant be mad at these kids about this loss. Just the opportunity to see Dame absolutely sizzle in the fourth was worth it. One thing i dont think any of us ever factor in is that these kids had heavy legs after using an incredible amount of energy to get back in the game against Miami. 43 three point attempts ! Wow ! We certainly had enough energy to hoist shots, they just werent falling for us. For a second there i thought Claver was going to be the X-factor,but no such luck. Babbitt was even off on some really open looks. That boy Klay Thompson is a tremendous shooter. David Lee refused to miss.I wrote yesterday about the fatigue factor. Running our horses into the ground as we did to beat Miami sapped alot of energy. These are the types of games that really ought to inspire Olshey to make some sought of move to bolster our bench. Who ? I dont know, but its apparent that we wont get it done in back to back games without someone off the bench that can create for others. Of course we've all been singing this same tune since the start of the season. Theres no denying the fight in this squad. Oh well, lets prepare for OKC. We'll be rested. We're going to need it. The good news is that we've been chosen for fan night,so alot of people who havent seen us run will get an opportunity to do so. Go Rip City !!!!

    I'm with you CT one thing my mother always mention about this team that she loves that this team doesn't quit they are gonna go down fighting and that all I care about win or lose at lease go down fighting but, man what a story it would of been to add to the "Legend of Lillard" if we would of pull that game out I can't remember a rookie who had support like that from his hometown Lillard had them in the palm of his hand and put on a show I can't wait to see what we do in the off-season to build an improve this team we have a special thing right now and I'm loving it I can remember a rebuilding project like this and I'm proud to watch it and be apart of it. RIP CITY STAND UP!

    I agree he showed his potential on a pretty consistant basis early in the season and when he got injured he didn''t really dissappear out there he found other ways to contribute if we had a bench alot of those games where he didn''t score huge but...

    Nah uhhh a defensive center, a backup big either position I don''t care, an experienced wing, without having to give up any draft picks. I''d probably do this but I just don''t know for sure.

    Rebounds are over rated and so is JJ

  5. A question that could have team implications if it were to happen.

    I completely agree he could be that voice on the court we need. Lamarcus just isn''t that guy and Damian can learn some on court leadership from him. A small lineup when we need a score bad of Dame, Wes, Paul, Nic, and Lamarcus would be potent.

    I mean Damian might have not even been in the same area as them when it happened. Innocent until proven guilty

    I would agree Harris seems more dynamic but Harkless looks pretty good as well.
