    The Lakers and Clippers made sure that they got better and we made sure that we got another first rounder in this upcoming draft.

    If you want to know what punting the season looks like, look no further.

    iirc, my brother met him once at a local mcdonalds back when he was on the team. Said he looked like an average joe who was just a fan of a buzz cut.

    If Sacramento is lighting the beam after a win, maybe the Blazers should be lighting something up when we lose.

    Since Ant went down the smart move has to be losing with the influx of talent that came west at the deadline....thing is I don't think we have to try at this point.

    We'll see, that seems likely but I won't count my team out until after the movements are done.

    How did the Clippers make sure they got better? Westbrook lol? He’ll make them worse.

    That seems like an embellishment to me. I don't think his handles are as good as he thinks they are, but he is far from awful.
    Just not a starter.

    Nope, Bobby never played for the Blazers. Mostly Utah....but every Blazer fan over the age of 40 remembers him for one fucking quarter.

    Game 6 of the 92 finals.

    That little fucker...He's up there with Brian Shaw and Sean Elliott.

    (ok, admittedly, it wasn't so much Bobby Hansen that did the Blazers in during game 6 of the 92 finals...but he was a scrub who I hate because of that quarter. Though I should actually hold resentment towards Rick Adleman for how his coaching lost them the 91 conference finals because of game 1 and game 6 of the finals in 92. For those who aren't familiar, the team had a 15 point lead going into the 4th quarter of game 6...and in the 91 conference finals, they had a 12 point lead going into the 4th in game 1...at fucking home....DAMNIT now i'm pissed)

    Yeah he had the Tom Peterson hair cut. Looked just like my middle school PE teacher. I think he was just on a 10 day contract or two. But he hit a couple jumpers and the fans went bananas.

    As for Craig Neal, a couple years back he was the head coach at New Mexico. Saw him on TV and remembered he had a cup of coffee with the Blazers.

    I guess we have different definitions of the word "awful".

    Did they? Powell and RoCo haven’t improved the team. They missed the playoffs last year and are mediocre again this year.

    Powell has.

    Winslow and Keon sure haven't improved ours.

    But Powell hasn’t. They went to WCF in 2021. Added Powell and missed the playoffs.

    Blazers sure know how to throw away fourth quarter leads in the playoffs.

    Keon Johnson reminds me of James Hollywood Robinson. Except, Hollywood had a little better jumper.
