This is first Hornets team to win a game in Portland in 16 years.

That 1998 Charlotte roster featured David Wesley, Eddie Jones, Bobby Phills, and Derrick Coleman

Pretty sure it was 2008. So maybe the Lee Nailon teams?
 
Billups said he's proud, his team stayed in this game, the whole game. (The Hornets running up their 4th quarter lead to 21 doesn't count.)

Fentress was being a jerk, i think Chauncey just walked out the presser.

i just don't fucking care tbh. this is just terrible basketball. making a mockery of the game for the third straight year.

spent half my time planning a vacay, and the other half messing around with a rubik's cube.

just have the tv on for god knows what reason with the game playing on mute.

Well he can't just say we are tanking. He has to dress it up.
 
He says Thybulle just went out, so the Hornets can breathe a sigh of relief. Like, he thinks we have that one player.

He says Duop Reath should start a doo-wop group. Then he sings a few lines from Under the Boardwalk.

 
They're called the Hornets, right? I keep thinking the Beekeepers or White Horses or something. I forgot their other name, after the Jazz.

He says they now won 5 of last 6. If you listen to him, it looks like we will get the #1 pick. All game, he repeated excitedly that they haven't beaten us in our building since 2008. They just beat Utah for the first time in their building since 2006. He kept listing retired old-timers who were in their first short pants on the Charlotte 2008 team.

...The main guy closed by saying the color guy was Dell Curry, and his own name is Eric. Thanks, Eric! You think you're the only Eric in the world? I was trying to get your name!
 
I was at the game and felt comatosed watching it; Like I'd just eaten about 2 lbs of pasta. What an awfully boring game..

you almost witnessed an NBA futility record. If the bench guys didn't hit 2 threes in garbage time, the Blazers would have set the brick bar high for worst 3pt shooting night in NBA history (30+ attempts)
 
Haberjinx openly talking about lottery odds, and making sure we secure them over Charlotte in the first half was the final straw for me.

How has this franchise sunk so low? An absolute embarrassment.
 
Gloriously stress-free this year! Great fucking loss!
 
I guess the Rockets missed 27 threes in a row against Warriors in playoffs. So the Blazers 25 straight doinks tonight is not an NBA record.
 
I think the tank mode has gotten over the top because they’ve zero’d in on a prospect they really want.

This will be the 6th time the Blazers are home favorites this season. They are 1-4 in those games.

If you had bet $10 in all 5 of those games, you would be up $50.20.

Make it 1-5 as favorites... it's like stealing money at this point.

I think Joe made deals for Jerami and Ant at the trade deadline to be executed near the draft, just like he had with Detroit for Jerami at the trade deadline of 2022. I just hope as the team tanks that Jerami and Ant don't tank their value so bad that our trade partners rethink any previous agreements.

the only area where Piston fans get to troll Blazer fans, is they're no longer on the hook for Grant's max contract.
 
Kris, Toumani, Jabari:

All 3 guys do some good things. Until one of them learns to consistently hit a 3, none of them should be factored into the future. None would sniff the rotations of a playoff team, and having multiple on the floor at the same time is offensive suicide.

Blazers played zesty for a few minutes. Cut the Hornets lead down to 5 in 4th quarter. The score was 73-68, a real barn burner. The Blazers quit relying on the deep ball, and used defensive stops and drives to get some baskets.

Coach Clifford called timeout to rally the troops... while Coach Billups handed out rapid release valium tablets.

Blazers couldn't score in the next 5 minutes. 4 turnovers, 4 bricked 3's, a missed oop to Ayton, and Grant shanked an ISO.

how'd the Hornets do after the timeout?
dunk, dunk, triple, layup, 3 footer, FT's, dunk, layup, layup.

can we add Hornets to list of teams the Blazers want their rebuild to look like?

Finally, someone realized calling timeouts isn't the key to fixing things!

Sometimes your shit is funny but rapid release Valium is called Xanax, two of the three guys who played in this game that could be considered starting level NBA players didn't show up (Jerami and Ant) and these losses are good for us in the long run.

I'm honestly hoping that the last game that we see Ant and Jerami is this next one against the Heat who should smoke us.

Then I hope that Scoot and Shae heal up so we can see what they look like together with Deandre and our role players. If we win even one more game this season it will be senseless and show that the people running shit don't know what the fuck they're doing.
 
Blazers 5th quarter radio show is trying to compare Coach Billups with Spoelstra, Phil Jackson & Steve Kerr.

... i'm having issues with the spin. Just start blurping out famous NBA names, and Blazer fans will believe you ?
