To be fair Trae Young isn't horrible. 15.6ts and 7.6 asts. for a rookie is pretty damn good. They will be compared for their entire career because of the trade.

Go Mavs, Suns, Wolves, Griz, Raps, Griz, Jazz, Mavs, Jazz, 6ers!

I don't think it's very smart to win 13 games before you decide to tank.

And the Hawks got a pick out of the deal too. Problem is Trae’s shooting terribly.

I never said Terry was smart!

True. Trae is a rook and will probably settle down a little as he gets used to the speed of the NBA. He definitely has a no fear attitude, taking some crazy ass shots sometimes, killing his percentages.

Looks like a limbo contest - ie how low can you go. 1-13? 2-12?

All those games are winnable for our ballclub.

 

[Gronk Brady]

They are also all very losable for our ball club...

 

[KingSpeed]

They are hating themselves. That has to be one of the biggest draft screwups ever. They had Doncic and gave him away.

The Blazers passing up Jordan was the worst ever, but at least they didn't draft then trade him for Bowie. That would have been worse.

I guess. Bowie got us Buck Williams though and that got us two NBA Finals appearances.

And in golf......all putts are ,“Makeable”.

 

[Scalma]

Ok. Here’s how we win. We score more points.

Is curry still in the rotation please no.

 

[TBpup]

Maybe 6-7 wins out of that unless they really turn things around. That would put them around 19-18 or maybe 20-17. #NBAPurgatory

Trae still hasn't recovered from what Baldwin did to him in Summer League.

Hey, you should be on that Blazers Outsiders show. One of the guys says that as his key to the game sometimes.

I see one win and a seven losses the way they have played lately.

 

[Jade Falcon]

So, who's ready for another L tonight?

[THE HCP]

I predict a big game from Christian James..... all business today.

 

[Rozay]

If Blazers lose this one fire Stotts and start the rebuild early..

All these losses recently is getting ridiculous

 

[Chris Craig]

Doncic is playing? Shit. Loss.

 

[Jade Falcon]

LMFAO, they have Nurk in stupid commercials!

 

[Strenuus]

Please win? Please?

 

[Chris Craig]

LMFAO, they have Nurk in stupid commercials!

That stumptown commercial was funny as hell. Felt like a japanese commercial

 

[Jade Falcon]

Agreed.

I just filled my frosted mug with A&W Rootbeer. And it foamed over the side.

So I guess you could say.......THY CUP RUNNETH OVER!

 

[JDC]

Can't let him come off that screen CJ.

Vabteepool not happy about that.

 

[Strenuus]

Ah, a shitty first possession. lol.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Please win? Please?

How dare you? It's bad enough you selfish fans expect a bunch of millionaires to actually do their job. Oh no - you have to lay a puppy-eyes-guilt-trip on them!

They should lose 5 or 6 in a row just to teach you your place.

 

[riverman]

Go Blazers! Now we're cookin'

 

[hoopsjock]

Why is Doncic allowed to wear a sleeved shirt that is the same color as our jerseys?

 

[Chris Craig]

I like the ball movement early
