Game Thread GAME# 23: BLAZERS @ SPURS - DECEMBER 2, 2018 - SUNDAY, 4:00 PM, NBCSNW

[Chris Craig]

No, he has the same odds there. Nobody is beating golden state four times.

You keep telling yourself that

 

[julius]

The worst part is there is no element of surprise... it’s the exact same team for 3 years now... it’s not fun anymore

Yep. They desperately need a SF or PF who doesn't suck (or isn't inconsistent).

I'm tempted to just say start playing the younger players and see what they can do.

 

[KingSpeed]

He has a far better chance to win elsewhere...LA, Milwaukee, Boston, Totonto, etc than here. He has 0% chance of winning a trophy here. He never will

Relax dude

 

[Scalma]

You keep telling yourself that

Ok. Reality will keep proving me right.

You mean our 6-2 PG just out of High School?

Yeah.....no.

 

[KingSpeed]

Denver lost 6 of 7 and then bounced back. We can do it too. Hang in there guys.

Are they better at defense?

Might as well

No, they need players PERIOD that don't suck. There are 3 guys on this team that produce every night. The rest are a best a coinflip and a worst a lottery ticket. Position doesn't matter they just need talent.

I'm looking at the guys that the Spurs walked out on the floor tonight. They're in the same situation, which is why they suck too. And yet we still lose to them.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Cant be worse...

 

[Chris Craig]

The reality is Dame will not win a championship here.

 

[BonesJones]

I mean look scalma, it's not that i wish Dame should leave, he is my favourite Player and the trail Blazers are my favourite team, but he will never win a Championship with this Team, Never ever. A Lillard/McCollum backcourt is good enough for regular Season but won't make any damage in the Playoffs. If you are Happy with that, fine that's your view. But i'm tired of this Team outside of Lillard, i'm ready for a Full Rebuild with the new ownership, new Front Office and new coaching staff, i can't watch this mediocre shit anymore

Okay, let's put all the stars on one team so they can all win a championship.

It's funny, the people saying they want a rebuild now are the first people that'd complain about us losing 50 games.

Quit being a compulsive complainer.

 

[BonesJones]

The reality is Dame will not win a championship here.

Or pretty much anywhere else.

 

[BonesJones]

You mean our 6-2 PG just out of High School?

Yeah.....no.

Damn. Who'd we miss out on drafting that fit the bill?

True. The players they do have, that might be something good (Trent, Simons, Zach) are not going to be good this year. And the players they do have that get minutes (Aminu, Harkless, Turner, Meyers) are all unable to create for themselves or be dependable.

I hate to say this, because so many others have said it, but it's another year wasted in Damians career.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Only gave up 131, not bad.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Olshey needs to go before Stotts

 

[Chris Craig]

Or pretty much anywhere else.

He would win one with Lebron in LA

 

[DDolla]

You only watch LMA. Once he gets 20pts, Spurs always win.

 

[BonesJones]

He would win one with Lebron in LA

How dare you even mention that shit. No he wouldn't. Disgraceful.

 

[julius]

You mean our 6-2 PG just out of High School?

Yeah.....no.

Trent and Simons are both 1 year removed from HS. But my point wasn't just to throw him out there 30 minutes a night, but might as well see what he and Trent can do.

 

[Chris Craig]

How dare you even mention that shit. No he wouldn't. Disgraceful.

He would. Sadly, he would

 

[oldmangrouch]

What does one call this - a systemic dysfunction? A poisonous swamp of incompetence and indifference? Just flat shitty basketball?

I'm not even going to ask what it takes for Stotts or Olshey to do something - I already know the answer. I won't say the fans deserve better, because I know nobody in the organization gives a wet fart about us. When a hobby goes from a source of pleasure to a painful chore - it is time to find a new hobby.

 

[Gronk Brady]

Dame and CJ took 50 of our 86 fg attempts tonight... that’s 60%... how can any team expect to win that way

 

[Chris Craig]

They can't

 

[BonesJones]

He would. Sadly, he would

Lol.

 

[LayneStaley]

Curry still sucks.

 

[Chris Craig]

Lol.

Dame and Lebron would be the best duo in the NBA

 

[Blazinaway]

The reality is Dame will not win a championship here.

Have to agree, I love the guy and would like to see him get the chance to win a title, so if this hot mess continues maybe we consider moving Dame when he has perhaps prime value and we look to rebuild.

Stupid post. We scored 118 points, gave up 13, and you're blaming our loss on our role players not getting more shot attempts?
