I think I might quit on the season. Not interested in watching a team with no chance. I wouldn’t be upset at all if we tank. Pull Dame and Simons. Roll with Keon and Shaedon. I’m done.

Never say "never", man.

I quit on this team in the offseason, unfortunately, but you don't need to follow me to the dark side!

This is what bothers me a little. I thought that Billups' strength would be his persistence in getting the team to play the way he wants. Getting the ball up court quickly, more passing, more cutting, attacking the basket. And it's just not happening.

He's just not a good coach.

Lol. It's only January. The season isn't even half over.
 
This game sucked and I'd love to be adequately pissed about it but some of you guys in here are so fucking dramatically overstating how bad it was that you're taking my ability to be pissed about it away from me. This meltdown is way overblown.

Frustrating loss? Sure it was. Does this team need to make moves? Of course we do. Does Dame now suck? I don't know what the fuck some of you have been watching because he's still an all nba level PG.
 
Haven’t looked here in a while…come to see everyone is saying same sucks. See you guys in another few months
 
Attitude and focus is a glaring problem with this team. They seem to stroll into games like they’re the 2017-2018 Warriors thinking they can win simply by showing up.

I would expect Dame kick some ass in the locker room and whip the team into shape then. From everything we see and know, That would be a major uncharacteristic flaw in his game.
 
We just lost to a below .500 team with major chemistry issues lol

I loved the other night when Dame was mic'd up and he was on the bench telling teammates they need to push it and not let the defense get set up. Then he gets back in the game and walks it up every time. I guess it was a do as I say not as I do comment.

Dame is done. Sorry folks, time to trade him for 6 draft picks and let him win a ring like Clyde

It’s almost as if we are playing like a team that with hover around .500 and finish in 10th huh?

Trade him big bro.. his timeline doesn’t match ours anymore. He got the blazers record. He’s good. Time to move on he’s 33 this year. This boring .500 shit ain’t going to cut it

Brother this team was going nowhere in September when it WAS constructed. Those who thought so are blind to the situation. Oh nevermind. @THE HCP doesnt know anything about basketball remember.

I've seen this movie before. No matter who the director is and how much you change most of the actors, mediocrity, thy name is Portland.

So why do u like that shit!

Do me a favor and find a post where I have ever said that I like mediocrity. I’ll wait. I don’t like it, I acknowledge it. That’s the difference between me and most of these dudes in here that fucking blast me when I don’t predict 69 wins every season. I can see the lack of talent they can’t. So I have never got pissed on here after a loss either. Ever. I love that people can’t see that and just claim I don’t know anything about the game. The fools on here always crying and freaking out are also the ones who claim to be the real fans because they think we’ll win every game. This place will never change.

I know we're supposed to blame effort, attitude, and focus when things don't go well and we don't know why.

However, we do know the why... this is a roster with a couple major flaws. Oh, and .500 NBA basketball teams lose road games.

Wow! Talk about uncharacteristic. I didn’t expect to see you quit on the team.

This is sports. Not all things can be quantified and modeled statistically. Effort and attitude are things that can’t be measured analytically. This is where a coach has to use their experience and knowledge.

There were 3-4 times tonight where someone passed the ball at the legs/feet of the receiver. I’ve yet to see a database of this statistic. I think passing the ball into a teammate’s legs/feet can be attributed to lack of focus/effort.
