But that might involved not blaming a coach.

Lots of things cost us this game. We were great on the boards but we allowed them 3 offensive rebounds on their possession inside 30 seconds of regulation. We secure a rebound there and we have a 5 pt lead and the ball. Instead they convert on a 3pt play. Also our 3 bigs were 9-40 from the field. We missed a lot of close shots and had too many unforced turnovers. Yes losing one like this hurts but all in all I like what I saw today. I said last week lets wait until 10 games before we get too excited or dejected. Don't think we will see Rucker shoot that poorly again and I think Washington was a little lost today offensively. Its one freakin game against a pretty good opponent. Blazer fans relax. Thought Mr. Williams had a strong game. I also like Mehinti's athleticism. Had we played as well as we could and lost I would be feeling much worse. Aside from the rebounding I think we played a fairly sloppy game and still gave a top 20 team all it wanted.
We will be ok.
