If we draft out of the G league again in the future that person should be fired for incompetence

G league or China

 

[Irish Trader]

The NBA decommissioned the Ignite. So no one is going to be drafting out of the GLeague anymore. That experiment was a disaster.

Good to know nothing good came out of that league certainly no star much less super star

 

[Chris Craig]

Lots of celebrating for teams when they play the Blazers.

Hell, they celebrate pre game. We're playing the Blazers? Hell yeah!

 

[blazerkor]

That's two games in a row against teams that aren't that good where our guys just did not compete. No I didn't expect us to win with the Hawks being healthy and with us missing Deni and Shae but the lack of effort is reflected in the final score and the score at the end of the first quarter... again.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Isn't it possible to tank with dignity?

 

[Chris Craig]

Isn't it possible to tank with dignity?

Apparently not

 

[blazerkor]

I honestly don't even think we're tanking. Opponents are just coming out and punching us in the mouth and we are showing absolutely no fight in return. SMH

 

[BlayZa]

so cool we nearly spendin $60M this season on PGs

 

[e_blazer]

I think It would be hard to find two such horrible back to back losses by another NBA team this season

i agree. i think we are actually playing to the level of this team with its current available players. take out our key people and we got barely a G League team on most occassions

 

[Chris Craig]

so cool we nearly spendin $60M this season on PGs

$197,000,000 total...for this

 

[blazerkor]

That effort was so pathetic that it made Lamar mad. Not a good look.

 

[blazerkor]

@THE HCP is a magician putting this highlight package together. Made our players look like they gave a shit.

 

[julius]

Not a good look for the team.

I know they're missing a good portion of their offense and they're relying on role players (Jrue and Jerami) or players who are still developing (Wesley, Scoot) or really aren't that good on offense (Tou)...and DC can only do so much..but gat damn this has been an ugly stretch.

On the plus side, means the chances of them losing their pick are very slim! And maybe the Blazers can keep the streak alive and be a play-in and win the #1 pick!

Ethical tanking for the win?

Who am I kidding, they'll be the only team that drops down in the lotto this year, just watch.

I'm pretty sure when you're toward the end of the lotto, you can't be the only team that drops down. If anyone behind you jumps up everyone in front of you shifts back.

The Blazers will find a way

Yes. I would say that Grant has stopped competing period. I thought even Toumani stopped today. Scoot is just a mess. I think Wesley, Sidi, Blake, Clingan and Vit still competing but maybe losing focus some. Jrue competed early but then got tired of it I think.

 

[Blazinaway]

I hope our new owner cleans house in a big way

 

[Everything Beagle]

I hope our new owner cleans house in a big way

He might clean house so well we get a new logo and colors!

 

[HailBlazers]

Didn't watch the game but you guys are trippin.

 

[blazerfan11]

 

[julius]

That's not going to happen.

In fact I'm willing to bet there isn't anything that happened that didn't already have his approval.

oh Lamar finally worked a game lol

 

[THE HCP]

You people crack me up. You guys still think we are good? I predicted 32 wins and it looks like they will surpass this. I’m ecstatic. Blows my mind that you guys don’t think the lack of talent has any effect/affect on wins and losses. You STILL don’t think this? I just don’t understand this place? And to get mad every game when you should know damn well going in what’s going to happen. And you STILL get mad? Amazing. The best part, that asshat sharing tweets from literally the most random people on earth with us as if their uneducated opinions mean ANYTHING to us here. you can’t make this shit up……#RipCity

 

[julius]

I’m ready for Mike Malone era

You mean the era where he became the *FIRST* NBA coach fired with 3 games left in a season where they *MADE THE PLAYOFFS*? Or the one where he doesn't pay younger players and gets fired with 3 games left in a season and his the team with a new inexperienced coach doesn't miss a beat?

Because if they ever decide to make a "Shiny object hall of fame" for Blazer fans, he is definitely in it.

Dude, you're the guy who thought Clingan would barely be able to start let alone average a double double. Sit this one out.

I expected the losses in the last two games but the level of effort isn't what we are used to seeing from these guys win or lose.

Obviously Deni and Shae being out makes getting buckets a real chore and I know that offensive struggles make defense harder, I just don't think it's OK to see our guys letting up, in regards to effort. Hell even Lamar was disappointed with the effort tonight.

I did hear Tiago say there's a virus going around the team and I know you guys had to go super early yesterday and pretty early today but with all of that said it's still not the level of effort that I want to see from the players on our team.

Scoot sucks

 

[AldoTrapani]

Remember Scoot was held out of summer league bc they thought he was too good for that? Lol

Apparenty Oregon has the highest rate of Influenza right now. Good excuse to me.
