    Players don’t play to lose. Management and coaches allow them to be in a position where they cannot compete. Owners as well.

    To be fair 3 of the biggest developers we need are injured. It's just one of them is actually plAying injured.

    Still not worried. I'll be worried in 3 years lol

    Probably not until March of the third year. Thanksgiving of the third year would be too early right?
    Wait? This is the third year?

    And Sharpe has more talent than drive. Still not sure he’s going to be anything special.

    What if they get the number one pick this year. Do we move the goalposts again?

    You're under the impression that I'm joking. That's my literal answer.

    Chauncey has to fib a little tonight, said he thought the Blazers did good contesting 3 point shots. It was the layups that bugged him.

    13 games into our rebuild. Missing 4 key rotation players. This is the expected result. There will be plenty more nights like this. But I think this is only the 3rd game (@Clippers, @Sixers) this season where we were blown out from the jump and not competitive at all.

    OKC has been a rebuild for about 3 years. This is their breakout year.

    radio guys blaming Blazer fatigue. Failed to mention this was a home trap, the Thunder were on back to back.

    Blazers might have to burn a future 1st to get an NBA scorer. Brogdon + picks for Zach Lavine. I don't know if Cronin put enough on the court to justify a max salary team.
