You are right..... Our team is not playing the Spurs kind of basketball. Even with injuries on your team. The blazers are able to beat a healthy Spurs team....
Until the next game.... We will see what improvements the Spurs are going to do....
No Problem!

The Blazers didn't the Spurs. I did.
The lineup that gave up the lead at the end was not small.
lol Spurs
Are you disagreeing that I did not allow the Blazers to stay in the game in the 2nd quarter and let them shoot above 60% in the quarter so that they are hot to end the game?
Laugh it up. The Spurs deserve to be laughed at.No Problem!
Still waiting on that progress from November...at least they're relatively healthy, which is all that matters, right?
Fell asleep at the start of the 4th...glad I did...
No they should get a trade done......
That's what they need ...This Spurs Team is not build to win Championship....
They are losing to team with a lot of there starters injured....What Happened to the Spurs Defense......
I'm beginning to doubt that anything can help the Spurs at this point.
They walk out of Portland with a win against a depleted Blazers team if they just execute on either end during the last 2 minutes. Instead, they concede two wide open looks from 3 to Martell Webster and manage several possessions on the other end without even coming close to a shot attempt.
If these guys can't get those little things done in a mid-season game against a depleted team, I'm not sure that there's a trade available to them that's going to mend that problem. At a certain level, it's about execution and this Spurs team, despite its veterans, simply cannot seem to execute on either end in late game situations. It happened against Chicago, it happened against Houston, it happened against Denver, it happened in Portland, it even happened to an extent in Sacramento.
Lol Pop forgetting what a timeout is.
Exactly. This is something all of our trade machine gurus can't seem to grasp.
I don't think anything else needs to be said really. This sums things up pretty well. There's no late game execution with this team. During the championship years, that was our staple..... we brought the lumber in the last 6 minutes of a game.
The way this team plays is reminds me of a team still trying to find itself and not trusting each other in the crunch.
i think it's nice that the mavericks and spurs are giving the real teams someone to practice against.
This was probably one of the best games they played all year - for about 3 & 2/3 quarters. Of course as they've done so uncharacteristically many times this season, they spit the bit at the end. Poor execution, costly turnovers and porous defense.
I agree that had they got this win, it probably would've signaled a huge confidence boost for the balance of the RRT. Instead, the wheels came off.
By now, it's obvious that this team isn't built for the stretch drive of the regular season or the playoffs. As others have said, even if they make a trade, I can't see how another late season addition could benefit them, at this point.
And don't look now, but yet another team that has swept the season series from the Spurs 3-0. In fact, Portland has won the last 5 meetings from the Spurs That, alone, should be a wakeup call to everyone - including the coaching staff.
CROFL Spurs
This is the second game against the Blazers where they had tons of injuries, including their coach for crying out loud, and we still lost.
Give em your props and move on.
I've never double posted until a few days ago, wth
wasn't the line-up in the last 20 seconds parker, hill, finley, ginobili and duncan? i could be wrong a player or two but they had 4 guards in the game. small ball slightly works if you have a very fast line-up. outside of parker and hill, nobody's fast!
The Blazers have beaten just about everyone this year with that extremely depleted lineup. It makes absolutely no sense.
I believe Vegas odds give the home team a +3.5 point advantage. For some reason, the Blazers have like a +12.5 advantage at the Rose Garden.
I don't know. That Portland team just tear a new asshole to Dallas in Dallas about a week ago, with Miller dropping 52 on them. It's not that they're scrubs and that they beat us by 20.
What's bothersome is that at some point, this was our game to lose, and we did manage to lose it. Hopefully, this teaches a new lesson and it's part of the progression of getting better for this team.
The small ball lineup gave away 4 points out of the 10 point lead, and the Spurs lost by 3. So....
