I am going to keep my last post of the night semi simple

1) Thanks Dame for giving it your all even when you get little to no help
2) Screw Jody Allen -- she needs to sell ASAP
3) Fire Cronin
4) Fire Billups he might be a nice guy but cannot coach worth a shit

I hope all you have a goodnight and lets all pray to the lotto gods that we get the #1 pick

I have my gripes with Chauncey, but our current rotation might be the poorest collection of defensive rebounders for their position in the history of the NBA.

Might have to do with why Hart collected so many. Everyone just stands around and doesn’t put a body on anyone.
 
So, who in the draft (that isn't a PG) would make a difference (and I mean outside of victor, who I'm leary about due to that knee alignment thing).
 
Damn, I’m visiting Portland on the 17th and looks like I wasted my money for that Celtics game

Anyone notice that when a shot goes up no one is even near the paint looking for a rebound and that is a coaching thing more then the players on the court. I mean if Billups stressed looking for a rebound when a shot is in the air that would help even a little bit and that has NOTHING to do with size more to do with desire and such. I am watching this game and I see one player ( Dame ) who wants to win and the rest I am not sure and again this could be a coaching thing as much as on the players. I am sorry but IF in the summer Dame finally cracks and says fuck this and asks out I will not even blame him cause right now it's 1 on 5 out there. I want to make it clear that I DO NOT want Dame gone just that I would understand IF he finally said enough is enough of this half assed effort.

right there with you in pretty much this entire post. we have a coach who only speaks platitudes to the media and jokes with opposing players. dude has shown absolutely 0 improvement in in-game coaching with almost 150 games under his belt as HC. he can go.

and i will help dame drive to the airport to get out of this shitshow.

We don’t need anymore draft picks other than Victor. Dame is 32 and need help now
 
I think I'm done with Nassir. It's not like the guy is in his 2nd year. He is inconsistent as hell, and needs to be traded out.

I’m debating on checking lottery rankings or the Lillard scoring chase rankings. Hmmm, which is more important

Which one could have a bigger impact on winning games in the future?

Anthony Black, Taylor Hendricks, Cam Whitmore, jarace Walker, Ausar Thompson, gradey dick are guys who should be available with our pick
 
the best word to describe this sorry ass team: soft.

get punched once and just lays down.

Amen and Jarace would be probably best fit that bill.

Dame ends the game leading the team in rebounds...

because our roster is constructed in a way that makes absolutely no sense. Can anyone guess if Cronin wants us to make the playoffs or not?

Grant's going to become the wedge issue on this roster moving forward that C.J. was.

I hope the Blazers have a handshake deal for him to come back, because losing him for nothing and not having the resources to replace what he gives you is a killer. That being said, he's barely worth what he makes now -- he looks like he's picked up Jusuf Lackofengagement Disease in the last 20 game with his questionable shot selection in the 2H of games and he seems to have stopped trying on defense; he just passed Ingram off to Dame constantly down the stretch.

The biggest problem with Grant, though, is he doesn't rebound. He doesn't rebound at all. When you're putting together a roster, you need to take that into consideration. Nurk can't be the only guy on your roster who rebounds. Even if you like Eubanks (although I wouldn't know why) or Watford more for their versatility, you have to make that sacrifice because otherwise you have a gaping hole in that composition of the team, and the Blazers do.

He’s not a nice guy.

i hope we can work out a S&T for grant.
 
Well, every loss sucks to watch, but at least we got to see Dame score another 40+ point game. He makes every game worth watching.

And there's this -

If it's not Wemby, it should probably be traded or we should trade Dame... that's all there is to that. I mean Brandon Miller is really nice in a way that is very similar to the guy that fucked us up tonight but maybe a little better.
 
Why not Sign Miles Bridges… just do it Cronin
 
i am deathly afraid of the knee stuff too, but this is unequivocally the best prospect since lebron.

guys like Oden and Chet don't even come close to being the kind of prospect Wemby is.

if we ever get lucky in the lottery again, we get a bunch of priests to bless Moda while burning sage in the entire portland metro area and pray to the bball Gods while drafting him.

can't pass on him even with all our history.

That'd be the best hope for the Blazers, but it makes me queasy because Cronin's trading ability is so erratic.

id keep an eye on miami. any chance at all that bam and/or jimmy become available, i'd make Grant/Simons/Nurk all available in a trade along with multiple picks.

Right on par with most of your posts. If you take that as a personal attack I'm not giving you enough credit.

We need to go back to Jailblazers and start beating up teams again
