    Murray was the only player who had a decent night.

    It's not the tanking that sucks. It's the vets making 90 million - hogging all the shots and giving crap effort

    I doubt it big bro. Look at the way he acts. No dog in him. Go demand the ball, go want that shit.

    for a head coach: a game like this one is a fire-able offense
    for a GM: trading the franchise player for a player like Ayton is a fire-able offense

    42 point loss, at home, to the team with the 2nd worst record in the league who was missing their best player and their 6th man. Yeah, that's a dumpster fire

    All part of the same mess…a team that knows it’s not supposed to win. With or without the vets, this team is going to lose a lot of games. Without Clingan and Camara, there’s not much fight when things aren’t going well.

    Yeah this loss is as perplexing as that Memphis loss where some 5'7" PG was the highlight.

    Wonder what Billups says after this one. He already had his message after the Memphis loss. It's fine if the coach gives a pep talk like that a few times a season. But no, it can't be every other week.

    How the FUCK do you lose to the Jazz a team worse then you and even banged up like the Blazers are have more talent then the Jazz ? I do not care if the Blazers are tanking but I want Billups FIRED and a couple players traded by the AS break or sooner would be better. Cronin please call Jody and tell her it's worth it to fire him NOW and then hand the reins to someone who is on the bench cause they cannot do any worse then Billups. Hell they could run a contest and pick a fan out of the stands at every home game and that person would be just as good.

    Chauncey should be fired.

    These guys make millions and they aren't even going to show up? A middle finger to fans at the Moda.

    I gotta agree with Aldo for once. Show some fight getting through a screen. Be persistent staying with your guy on defense,

    Billups has to be setting...obliterating some kind of record for tenure while having a losing record. Coaches usually don't survive 2 losing seasons in a row, and Billups is working on his 4th

    HTF did the Blazers get absolutely demolished by the Jazz at their home court? Ayton was absolute trash… Also, it looks like Sharpe has been going through a slump lately and needs to figure things out.

    that's assuming that Cronin doesn't want to re-sign them. He very well might
