本在震惊的玫瑰园进行了媒体报道。
事情不应该发展到这一步。这怎么可能呢?为什么一支似乎全力以赴的球队会在最不合适的时候崩溃?一个队友似乎没有飞到波特兰的人怎么能把这场比赛变成一场高中比赛:9个人站在旁边看1个明星，5个开拓者被魔术表演吸引，忘记了自己的角色，直到胜利消失。
勒布朗·詹姆斯是一名出色的篮球运动员。他是联盟中最好的球员，远远超过其他伟大的篮球运动员。他比几乎所有曾经系过鞋带的人都更大、更强壮、更快、更聪明、更坚强。然而，他所创造的情境，他所赢得的游戏，从整体来看都是不受欢迎的。通常，这不是他的错。他的队友拉里·休斯(Larry Hughes)上演了一场悲惨的2-11(非扣篮0-9)。像布比(Boobie)和艾拉(Ira)这样的年轻球员给予鼓励，并精心握手，但除此之外就没什么了。达蒙·琼斯在没有任何理由的情况下，在球场上全速冲刺，为他带来了当晚的个人亮点。
勒布朗每天是如何应对这三场比赛的是个谜;他是如何找到时间、精力和动力创造奇迹的，就像他今晚所做的——背靠背的三分和一个艰难的上篮，以一个人的力量赢得比赛——令人难以理解。
比赛结束后，开拓者队的球员和教练脸上和身上都布满了沮丧和悲伤。马泰尔低声对布兰登说了些鼓励和支持的话。布兰登瘫坐在椅子上，头上盖着一块毛巾。内特只是一脸困惑。大多数记者看起来都像是患有创伤后应激障碍。勒布朗震撼了我们的心灵。
有很多机会;这款游戏将作为经典的“失败之作”而被人们所铭记。马车知道这一点;团队知道这一点;粉丝们知道这一点。事情不应该发展到这个地步，但它确实发生了。勒布朗确保了这一点。
赛后报价
内特谈到球队最后阶段的表现:“在我看来，我们打这场比赛是为了不输。而不是球队想要进攻，想要赢得比赛。直到比赛的最后五分钟，我们都打得很好。”
内特评价勒布朗:“今晚勒布朗出手投中了一些三分，他的投篮命中率只有20%左右，整晚他都没有进过球，你知道他在关键时刻投中了3个三分。”
内特这样评价林登·约翰逊的制胜上篮:“他们进行了一次(隔离)，他低下头，走向篮筐。我们得过去帮忙。我们得控制住他。首先要控制住他，把他挡在我们前面。但我们必须站出来提供帮助。”
内特在谈到他的防守策略时说:“我们认为他们可能会去挡拆伊尔戈斯卡斯，我们想要一个可以切换和防守篮下的防守。我找了乔尔，但最后还是拉马库斯回去了。我们需要能够在对方快速跑动的时候进行防守，在这种情况下，拉马库斯可以换人，如果对方有东西要上篮，拉马库斯应该能够跨过去。”
内特对失败说:“这很伤人。这是一个你可以控制的游戏。他们处于绝望的境地。他们必须有紧迫感。他们必须低下头。他们要去进攻玻璃。在这种情况下，你不会被超越。詹姆斯刚刚投进了几个关键球，他们得到了几个进攻篮板，进攻……我们必须得分，但我们没有做到。”
内特谈到他阻止林登·约翰逊的方法:“他在必要的时候挺身而出。他投进了几球。你觉得你应该能够控制。我们坚持让他投篮的比赛计划。但是你在接下来的比赛中一直领先，你知道他的能力。比赛计划的一部分就是阻止他，当他失球的时候，不要让他再拿回来。有几次，我们让他把球拿回来，跑了几盘。像这样的人，最好的防守就是不让他碰球。”
Nate对最后的结果说:“我们放弃了一个。他们整个赛季所做的就是能够完成比赛。今晚我们有机会打败这支球队。我们所做的。我们投丢了球，在关键时刻也没有得分。”
Brandon对比赛的第一反应是:“这是最艰难的(失败)。只要你最后一秒输了。我宁愿输15或20分。像这样的失败是很痛苦的。但是我们必须在第四节做好拦截的准备，努力在防守端赢得比赛。”
布兰登这样评价林书豪:“整场比赛我们都做得很好，让他投丢了球。仅仅在第四节，他就投进了一些重要的球，当他投进三分时，很难防住他，因为他能进到篮下。我认为我们做得很好，但重要的是他做得更好。”
布兰登在谈到他是否听说过参加全明星赛的事情时表示:“这场失利已经够难受的了;我现在什么都不想想了。”
布兰登谈到林登·约翰逊的三个要点:“我们的策略是投进(挡拆)，然后他开始投三分，然后策略变成了)切换(挡拆)，有几次我们在切换中迟到了。他连续投了3个3分，都是相当大的。他只是让他们……你得相信他。”
随机游戏笔记:
不，勒布朗·詹姆斯不是迈克尔·乔丹，但他吸引了大批观众:球迷们早在4点15分就在玫瑰花园外排起了长队，距离球场开门还有整整45分钟……詹姆斯的球衣今晚可以在玫瑰花园看到，许多球迷选择了林登·约翰逊的绿色圣文森特圣玛丽高中的球衣。勒布朗的蓝色骑士球衣也出现在一个意想不到的地方:开拓者礼品店将它们与罗伊和奥尔德里奇的主场球衣放在一起出售……我不是想在ESPN上对你指手画脚，把这一切都变成勒布朗的事，但是，是的，他确实在赛前投了粉，而且，是的，这看起来和电视上一样令人讨厌。这引起了人群的欢呼声。为什么?我不知道……正如前面提到的，球迷们在今晚很早就来了，他们来欢呼:在比赛的一开始，马泰尔在快攻中扣篮，然后乔尔在另一端冲锋。观众在第一节就站了起来(这种情况不是每天都能看到的)……所有包厢今晚都客满了。 I don't remember this happening at any other time in the last month... You know how some guys -- Jerry Sloan comes to mind-- project an aura of "this guy is a great coach?" Mike Brown doesn't really do that. In the first half, he spent the entire 20 second time out trying to signal to the ref that he wanted a 20 second time out. This is not an easy feat so don't try this at home... Brown did earn a technical defending Lebron when he was called for a charge, so he gets some credit for that... Due to the ESPN telecast, the timeouts were longer and more frequent than usual, leading to some really ridiculous time-filling adventures. A blindfolded lady was able to win a washer and dryer as the crowd cheered her across the court and one of the referees provided a much needed assist, directing her to the finish line... Also I think Blaze the Trail Cat had a few extra clips of t-shirts in his t-shirt gun because that bad boy was put to heavy use tonight... Sports Illustrated reporter Phil Taylor was in the house tonight... There were a number of signs. Some of the better ones were: "Queen James", "Roy Wonder Boy", "B-Lieve in B-Roy" and my personal favorite "Get Louder or Go Home"... How powerful is Nike? Phil Knight was shown on the big screen and was cheered raucously by the home crowd. How many billionaires get near standing ovations when they are shown on TV? It can't be many... Neil Everett, who often shouts out random Oregon references when he is hosting Sportscenter, was also in attendance... So was Jacoby Ellsbury. Jacoby can't get enough of this team!... A rare sight tonight: Darius Miles was hanging around the locker room hall postgame, signing autographs, politely answering John Canzano's questions and generally looking quite happy. Haven't seen him around postgame at all in the past month... Yes, there was a lot of pregame chatter about the potential trade reported on Yahoo! Sports. The consensus: Travis ain't going anywhere. More people than not thought Devin Harris would be a big upgrade at point for us and that he was worth acquiring but only if the deal was right... Przybilla did some amazing weakside help work on Lebron tonight. Jason Quick surely took note of this as he made a point to ask both Nate and Brandon why Joel wasn't in on the last possession... I wasn't a huge fan of the play the Blazers ran on their last possession. They had .3 seconds on the clock so obviously their options were limited. But the lob play they tried to run (to the far side of the hoop) has such a high degree of difficulty you had to wonder if there was another option in that situation... When Lebron made his layup to win the game, I have never seen the air taken out of the Rose Garden that quickly. It was really a one punch knockout... The good news: Channing and Travis were already focused on Friday's game by the time the cameras showed up postgame... Torn up by this loss? Here's an idea: cheer yourself up by welcoming Zach back to Portland! Just be sure to keep it classier than the Pit Crew's treatment of Kevin Love.
