Minnesota looked like trash in the second half and the Blazers outhustled them all afternoon. What?

He meant the Trail Blazers should have been trying to lose and won instead, and for Minnesota it was a “must-win” game.

Eh. I’m pro-tank but Portland ‘should’ be ok.

I don’t like “should be.” If they’re going to tank, tank.
The difference between starting with the 5th spot vs the 6th spot before the lottery could be the difference between getting Shaedon Sharpe, or getting Dyson Daniels.

Really really glad we didn’t take Daniels. I liked him and he has looked pretty bust-ish. He’s still young and there’s time for him to develop but it’s not even close between him and Shae.

They’re 2-11 in their last 13. That’s worst in the league stuff.
 
Center is the most irrelevant position in the NBA. Towns Gobert Nurkic Eubanks have almost no difference in their impact to win games.

Jokic and Embiid are studs. None of these other NBA centers matter at all. Stupid the Wolves have two of them on supermaxes.

Trail Blazers management is trying to lose.

Blazers players and coaches should never try to lose. When Skylar Mays and Kevin Knox are handily outplaying Towns and Gobert just laugh it off and tip your cap to the Blazers scrubs having a great night.

I think Towns needs a change of scenery. It wasn’t long ago that the GM poll picked him to be the guy they would start a team with.
 
Minnesota TV play by play announcer, early in the 4th quarter: “Today it looks like there is much more energy and bounce and life. And whatever this illness is that has decimated the team this past week looks like it’s on the way out.”

Or not.

Karl Towns got 3 shots tonight. Edwards had 30 attempts. Gobert had 10.

Dumbass roster build with a clueless coach.

We've been there.

Holy shit, that's insane. Not even the Blazers coaching has ever been that bad.

Yeesh, people.

What are you supposed to say? "Hey, guys, go out there and lose to a team playing all-stars and trying to improve its playoff positioning and playing at home, to boot."

None of our starters played. None. We played Matisse "I airball layups" Thybulle more than 30 minutes, John Butler 18 and Jeenathan Offthestreet 13.

Yeah, winning probably cost us a percentage points better chance at Wemby, but we still have an OK chance and it's still a stacked draft.

Some of you people have to start thinking about improving what we already have over a chance at a shot at a potential lotto ball. Sharpe looking like he's next level is fantastic and bodes really well for the future.

Good lord. Vision, children. Vision.

we are in the exact same lotto position now as we would have been had we lost.

I thought we were a game ahead of Indiana going into today and now we're tied with them. No?

I like the scenario where we have one more loss than Indiana and two more losses than Orlando/Washington

think we should focus more on wins. indy has one more so as long as we lose out, we still get #5

It just goes to show that if you’re within smelling distance of a star-type player you swing and miss on them, or, trade back for the role player type. 8 seemed wild high for Daniels, IMO.

i feel like i had a lot of 'told ya so' moments from this last draft. not gonna do a deep dive this yr.

wemby or bust
 
Mays and Sharpe our back court in summer league, we are winning it again
 
Hold on...so it's a coaches fault for his player to choose not to shoot when he has the ball?

Sabonis is damn good. Not quite as good as those other two, but he's not far behind. Averaging 19-12-7 and the main reason why the Kings are so good this year
