    Blazers are 2-5. Losing close ones while developing our youngins is the way to go. I don't think we'll be able to compete with the Jazz, but we're on our way. We tied for 5th worst. However, I expect the Bucks and the 76ers to win enough to pass us. So, we're effectively tied for 3rd worst.

    good post....good thread....questionable tank image

    has anybody ever considered that when people first starting using the term tank to talk about a half-deliberate losing season, they didn't mean this kind of tank:

    but rather this kind of tank:

    When the Pelicans are doing a better job of tanking you’re doing something wrong

    Blazers in sole possession of 7th worst in the league.

    7.5% chance to capture the Flagg.

    will we have some surprise tankers this season?

    Philly is 3-13 and New Orleans is about to go 4-15 (and are rumored to be still shopping Ingram). And both teams are racked with injuries. Philly owes their 1st to OKC but it's top-6 protected. Will either of these team decide to shut things down if they keep losing?

    Ant and Ingram on the same team would be one of the biggest lols ever. Let's just say they have issues. :)
