It's not bad, it's just not prudent at this point. We need more significant pieces that will contribute to big wins in a few years, not insignificant pieces that will contribute to meaningless wins now.

I'm down for trading any Blazer for a better asset. I'm not down with trading any player for the purpose of getting younger and less talented.

 

[Whyachi]

Yes, we've got worse for 3 straight yearS! How many more years do we need to get worse? Is it bad to want to get better?

those last 2 years didn't count. Portland was getting super rookies to help Lillard win. But Dame quit the team, so only this season counts as a rebuild.

 

[Chris Craig]

I think he’s improved a lot at driving and finishing this year

I don't. He most drives and throws up shitty crazy shots with no chance of going in. Glad to see him actually focus on that a couple of possessions in the third a make them.

 

[KingSpeed]

Now we find out how serious Spurs are about losing. And…airball.

 

[Whyachi]

Sochan airballed 3... Holton said "that's not an NBA shot."

 

[B-Roy]

Scoots having a rough night

 

[Whyachi]

sounds like a coffee shop in Moda Center. Simple chatter, not much to cheer about.

I don't think anyone wants this team to have less assets or talent. I think it only makes sense to build around our youth, move our win now guys who have some more years on them to teams that can win with them now, for more assets/young talent. So I very much want this team to get younger.

 

[KingSpeed]

My God.

 

[julius]

I was unaware that the Spurs were the #1 seed in the western conference.

 

[Whyachi]

move to Texas then, Highkin is a frickin traitor. GO BLAZERS !!

Scoots having a rough night

Seems to be a par for the course night for him

 

[Chris Craig]

Gonna be a different game without him tomorrow

 

[KingSpeed]

Amazingly, VW has 0 fouls.

 

[Chris Craig]

Scoots having a rough night

That's every night

 

[KingSpeed]

I still think we can win this game

 

[MickZagger]

Blazers arena stuff has got so corny

 

[julius]

There is no redeeming value in tonights game.

The next winnable game, realistically, is Detroit.

 

[KingSpeed]

That's every night

He had a great night on Tuesday

 

[Whyachi]

season high 26 for Malcom

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Gonna be a different game without him tomorrow

Who is not playing tomorrow? I may not watch if Scoot/Ant/Sharpe aren't playing.

 

[blazerkor]

Well that went back to a 20 point deficit pretty quickly. I think if Ant is out again tomorrow with illness that we'll go 0-2 against the Spurs. After tomorrow we'll have 13 games that we'll be the underdogs in. We might win a couple of those but we'll just have to wait and see.

We beat Phoenix and Sacramento. There are lots of winnable games.

 

[PDXFonz]

What?

I mean… I’m not surprised. But…What?!?

 

[KingSpeed]

Who is not playing tomorrow? I may not watch if Scoot/Ant/Sharpe aren't playing.

He was saying VW isn’t playing tomorrow.

 

[Chris Craig]

Wembanyama

 

[KingSpeed]

What?

I mean… I’m not surprised. But…What?!?

Spurs want to lose too

 

[Tince]

Jerami Grant is the Blazers leading rebounder tonight!

 

[julius]

We beat Phoenix and Sacramento. There are lots of winnable games.

But they didn't go into those games thinking they were winnable games.
