Ridiculous.

10 straight lossses and you still complain.

At this point of the season a win has negative value. So yeah I'm complaining about having Deandre in this game.

Shit doesn't matter. We're likely stuck in the 5 spot now. SMH

I'd guess 4 but we'll see...

At least we saw a great game from Scoot. Disappointed that Cronin and Billups didn't communicate about this game...

This team is about to finish with possibly the 2nd worst record in franchise history.

I don't care about wins and losses in a season like this. We will finish with the 2nd worst record in franchise history and because we're dumb it will only be the 5th worst record in the league... aka the 5th spot in the lotto.

It doesn't matter now, I don't think we'll win enough to move back even further and we aren't going to catch Charlotte now for the 4th spot.

I am really excited to see Scoot have a game like he did tonight. That's awesome, he needs it. Deandre however has had a ton of games like this and didn't need this experience.

Agreed. Poor communication between front office and coach.
 
Three years of tanking and people still want more. Do you guys think Wemby is in this draft or something? This draft fucking sucks. Donovan Clingan is getting #1 buzz. Oh no, we might miss out on this scrub.... Who cares.
 
Hornets 5-31 from deep (16%)

they did everything possible to lose this game. Credit their new FO for major league tanking.

Hope is atleast better than a meaningless win against Charlotte
 
Never play to lose, if you lose then lose organically and live with the results..these rookies aren't playing for the next rookie to take their job. Winning is part of development and losing is a really bad habit and leads to a bad culture. I'm glad they finally won a fucking game....didn't turn this one off. That's what I tune in for, not intentionally losing.
 
And again the best player on our team tonight was a bottom of the barrel 2nd round pick...go Jabari!
 
Ha Ha Ha I just looked.
Can’t lose for winning. What a shit show.
 
These ‘behind the blazers’ shows they give after blazer games on root sports are kind of nauseating

We will not be a tanking team next year, it's playoffs here we come.

the radio blurbed out the updated cue card >"Cronin might move the pick"< hinting towards major upgrades, the rebuild is finished.

Can you repeat that in any other way
 
Of all games Scoot decides to not be completely awful in this game ffs.

a good scoot game is worth it.

id rather he get some positive reps rather than place our hopes on the trash that's in this draft.

If Scoot is capable of that game then why is it so important that he had it tonight??? Especially with so many of his assists coming from Deandre field goals? Scoot is what scoot is. He could have had big games against the Celtics, Pelicans, Warriors, Rockets or Kings but you go ahead and be really happy with him having a good game against a team that decreases our chances in the lotto.

I think most people understand the probability of Scoot having a good game against an 18 win team trying to lose is much higher than a 50 win team fighting for playoff position.
 
Blazers are -88 on this 7 game road trip. As long as they don't lose the next 2 games by 50+, it will be an improvement over the last 7 game road trip (-193)

I think moving one of the firsts makes sense, moving both I’d need to be sold on the future upside of the return package…

I wouldn’t worry about that ‘they want to be Houston’ line though.

I'm not one to say, "bad idea, keep tanking.". Blazers last 3 seasons have been [delete entry]. If Portland has legit NBA players lined up, and they take a major leap forward, that should be good news.
