This team is good awful

Good at being awful or just god awful???

 

[Chris Craig]

Hopefully Deni and Scoot come back next game and Cronin pulls some amazing trade out of his ass, because this is excruciating to watch.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Sidy not taking a three or getting it to Shaedon was another L.

He was the most impactful player of the game. Vit is going to have a hard time getting minutes over him the rest of the season unless there's some serious consolidation before the deadline.

 

[Chris Craig]

Good at being awful or just god awful???

Both.

 

[blazerkor]

In fairness they don't have their best player.

Yeah without Deni we just don't have enough to get it done.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

It looks like it is difficult for us to win a game whenever we have no Deni or not 100% Deni.

 

[Chris Craig]

Didn't help that our new shooter was 1-5

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Is Wesley going to take most of Love's minutes now? I really wish we could find a Jrue trade tomorrow.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Yeah without Deni we just don't have enough to get it done.

Most teams don't without their best player.

 

[Irish Trader]

Didn't help that our new shooter was 1-5

Threw him in deep end of the pool and he sank like a rock

 

[blazerkor]

Give us some trades that make this roster make more sense.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Such a bad game that @AldoTrapani came back like a fly to shit.

The bad play is the fly.

they been terrible all year. I could have came back anytime lol

 

[blazerkor]

Most teams don't without their best player.

We didn't have ours and they didn't have theirs but they had more guys step up.

 

[Chris Craig]

The Suns do

 

[wizenheimer]

In fairness they don't have their best player.

neither did the Suns

 

[Chris Craig]

We had a good run, then shit the bed

 

[blazerkor]

Nah man. We got above .500 and have been really good when Deni is leading the team. You wouldn't know or pretend not to because you have some sick obsession with shitting on my favorite team. You are a troll.

 

[Cugel]

Just tank already. There is no other choice. The team lacks talent. All of the starters other than Deni would be coming off the bench on a really good team. A hard ass like Joe Mazzulla wouldn't start those guys.

We don't need to tank. We suck.

 

[blazerkor]

Just go get more young guys. Take as many swings at finding more talent as it takes but move those vets.

 

[PCmor7]

That was a weird game. Eight guys score in double figures and we lose.

The coaching was inexplicable. We looked like we were satisfied with the big early lead and didn't contest their shooting and let them get hot, but we didn't really have a plan on how to defend their high pick-and-roll and never adjusted, so Collin Gillespie has a career game.

And we burned one of Caleb's games for 8:20? WTH was that?

Never attacked the rim, either.

It was like we coached a very vanilla game. That was almost a tank-like approach.

Jrue with five turnovers, but I'm not holding it against him because he missed the last two games for personal reasons and I don't know what might be going on there. He hasn't been the same player as early in the season, but he played a couple of good games right after coming back from the injury and now has fallen off a cliff.

 

[wizenheimer]

We didn't have ours and they didn't have theirs but they had more guys step up.

it is an indication of roster strength and construction....how a team performs without their best player. Denver is 10-6 without Jokic and Gordon missed 6 of those games while Murray missed 4. Houston is 4-3 without Sengun. Spurs are 10-4 without Wemby

Portland just doesn't have a strong roster, and there's too big a gap between Deni and the next best Blazers

 

[Quatro44]

Felt like the team let off of the gas. They need to learn to close quarters hard. Also would be good if they would make their shooters put the ball on the floor and test their handles and force some turnovers. Crazy they let them get a lot of spot up threes.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Just tank already. There is no other choice. The team lacks talent. All of the starters other than Deni would be coming off the bench on a really good team. A hard ass like Joe Mazzulla wouldn't start those guys.

thank you I been saying the same thing. Only good player on the team is Deni. He doesn’t deserve this shit

 

[Mediocre Man]

Nothing says Blazers like getting a 40% 3 point shooter and having him go 1-6 in his debut

 

[KingSpeed]

I thought the league stopped these 11pm starts. Wtf man

It’s primetime on NBC. You haven’t noticed because we’re not on NBC much.

 

[crandc]

I really thought they would finally win a game.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

I didn’t think it was as bad a game as everyone has made it out to be. I think the fact this is our 6th loss in a row is what makes it feel worse than it was.

I think not having an additional play maker like Deni is killing us. Combine that with our 2nd best playmaker having 5 turnovers definitely hurt.

Ok the defensive end it was a tough watch, one of the few times I thought Tiago did a poor job adjusting to late to Gillespie. Should have gone small ball they didn’t have a center that was hurting us although to be fair we were grabbing lots of offensive rebounds with Clingan.

New guy had a rough start but who cares he had good looks and they didn’t drop. Those will drop once he settles in, I swear I saw him walk by coach after a timeout and coach said shoot the ball even after he was 1-4. Basically don’t pass up those open shots hit or miss that’s your job I believe in you.

Last thing I don’t think we were as good as our record indicated I think we played harder than other teams and we were fortunate to win some of those games early on. Teams have turned it up. Again don’t think we are a bad team but a team still young and figuring it out. Still lots to be positive about

A shot from last night. Sorry it's not as blurry as it should be. MERGE!
