The Blazers held a players-only meeting following Wednesday's 92-89 loss to the Hawks.

"We are having breakdowns and making mistakes and the chemistry is so good, and you are so close to the next guy, that you are not getting on him," said LaMarcus Aldridge. "We have to get to the point where we can get on anybody, and get on everybody. You know, to where everybody can get on me, and I can get on them. But this guy is making a mistake, and it's 'It's OK, it's cool. Shake it off.'" 

Nobody took issue with Nate McMillan's assessment that the team needed to play harder. 

"He was being honest. And if we are going to be a team, we have to be honest with each other," Jamal Crawford said. "And Coach said what he saw and we agree with him."
