Even you now? This is getting pathetic.

POR will win their next game (and that isn't to say the problems won't still linger - those can't be fixed that easy).

Quiet, KingSpeed Jr.

To choose Nurkic over Cousins is crazy. Cousins is elite. Would be Portland’s best player on day one.

We suck more than a Dyson vacuum.

We suck more than Miles Dyson's work at Cyberdyne.

You are salty tonight. It wouldn't have matter if Dame took a 5 there.

If he takes a long 3 then someone is just going to say "way to jack it up from so far out"!

Worst loss of the season. I'm irate. A loss to a WC playoff team missing its best player on the second night of a b2b at home, should be a schedule win at the worst.

Our players (leaders especially) need to take a long look in the mirror. This was unacceptable.

And Dame needs to stop acting like he's hot shit on twitter about his defense. He undid all the good he had done this season in two games this week. Maybe be a bit more humble now?

Worst loss of the season.

We all have those games that affect us so I understand. This one hasn't affected me as near much as some others.

Being realistic. The Blazers are pathetic. I will be suprised if they win Tuesday the way they are playing. There is no life in this team. They are playing so shitty Meyers is playing well.

Yeah what a waste of space trade his ass

Oh my Optimism left the door open two years ago and hasn't been back since. I have zero expectations of a win for the rest of the season as of right now.

When the best wins you can get come to sub-500 teams, and you get your asses kicked by 40 win teams, then expecting to get wins against elite 60 win teams is ridiculously foolish.

 

[jlprk]

That was fun for once. Somehow I was entertained despite the loss. Maybe it was because some unusual players (Leonard, Napier, Cousins, Rondo) played so hard, but I'm not sure.

OH NOOOOO!

17 pts (7/9), 2 reb, 3 ast, 1 stl, 4 pf, 16 min
8 pts (4/11), 4 reb, 1 ast, 1 to, 5 pf, 24 min

One is the third of our "Big Three", one is the pariah of this board.

Nurk needs to be benched fuck him hes playing like garbage

Terrible . We are looking trash again

Meyers had a nice game. A lot have admitted that who you wouldn't think would. But one is a pariah for a reason the other is a big 3 for a reason. That reason? Sample size of both good and bad.

As I said before, if Meyers could play Cousins every game then he would be worth his contract. We don't play NO every game this season though....

The good news is it’s going to get worse and that’ll likely force Neil to make some moves. I cannot believe they’ll just be OK with the team winning 37 games.

Spot on. The players (starting with our leaders) need to accept responsibility for their effort.

CJ was invisible tonight.

I read that OK as OKC the first time. Now that is a team what shouldn't be happy with its projected results.

Both Nurk, and CJ have been in a funk lately. I don't know what's going on, but I hope they both snap out of it.

I'm still waiting for Nurk to look like a Beast. He has been BAD this year. Terrible touch around the basket and dumb turnovers. He makes some great plays, but makes about 3 errors for each good play.

 

[theprunetang]

I wouldn't be surprised if Nurk is top 5 in turnovers. Pretty sure Cousins is in there too, to be fair.

Yep. My fantasy team is getting killed having him on it. He'll turn it around, hopefully... but he takes some really stupid shots, too.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

If we could trade Nurk+Turner to LA for Jordan I'd fucking do it. Tired of those two carelessness...
