Vegas for a week for me. Might miss the next couple games. Might find them playing somewhere?
 
Rank? Anyway. They never played like this before.

You could say that about every game though. I've seen some BAD losses in more meaingful games. This didn't feel like the worst loss I've seen, but it was a really bad one.

Your opinion is valid if you feel its the worse you've seen.
 
You know, Paramore made a song about the Blazers. Little known fact. It's called "Brick by boring brick".
 
They didn’t give a shit for Stotts either. They’ve just looked extra terrible this season because Dame has been hurt and missed some games.

Agreed. And they've looked bad when Dame has played as well.
 
Blazers Uprise Postgame Show
The Blazers with another stinker as they get run out of the gym by the Boston Celtics. This team doesn't seem to have any passion right now. Join us to discuss the game:
 
Hopefully GMs around the league see RoCo and CJ as being burned out as far as being here and look at their past play to judge their value. We need to shed these two guys and hopefully get a contributor back in return. We might also want to trade Nurk for a more modern/mobile big. Someone said that Christian Wood is available and I would love to get him for Nurk and a future first.

Whatever happens games like we've been seeing lately are unacceptable and this team needs to be stripped of anyone that is showing a lack of effort this season (CJ, RoCo and Nurk when he's not feeling the love). These games have been real bummers. I don't think they'll make Dame want to leave because he's so down with Chauncey but these guys not trying might make him demand big moves.
 
I think the team and Billups can get through this. I don't think they have given up. Lillard really needs to step in and lead.
 
Billups in the press conference was asking if you can coach pride and he said "no..."

I think we'll make a run, make the playoffs, lose in the 1st round. Rinse and repeat.

I think we'll make moves at or before the trade deadline. This roster is so wrong that it has to be corrected just so the team can see if Billups has coaching abilities. So if we stand pat then you're right. That being said I have no expectations right now because I don't know what we could do if a good GM shopped our players and built a cohesive roster.
 
Billups in the press conference was asking if you can coach pride and he said "no..."

I agree. What he can do is nail a few butts to the bench. I would rather watch a motivated scrub then...whatever the hell RoCo has become!
 
Not just a few but many many times I have read posts from people in here that have said CJ needs his own team. Some even have said he would be an all star in the eastern conference.
Facts are facts. It’s been said many times.
Most of those people I would hope now know that would never happen and they should lower their expectations as for what they feel this team should get for CJ and his contract.
Terrible situation at best.

I know there have been plenty of CJ fans, at different times, saying that kind of loopy shit for years. It has never withstood any scrutiny

I have actually had people tell me that CJ was better than Devin Booker, Zach Lavine, Khris Middleton, and Jalen Brown

CJ would be a good 6th man if he shot 5-7 fewer times a game, had an assisted FG rate around 60%, and was paid 15-18M a year. Instead, he is 7th in the league in FGA's while ranking 270th in TS%. That's fucking ridiculous
 
Wow, Chauncey just called out the starters. He said, “I’ve never seen a team that needs it’s bench inspire our starters. That shit is crazy to me. It’s supposed to be the way around.”
 

good on you Chauncey. Now do something about it


Says the right things but he is no action so far. Bench the ones that don't buy in. Its simple as that. Its not that we need them to keep our winning ways lol

 
Billups in the press conference was asking if you can coach pride and he said "no..."
I don't think him saying that is helpful. I'm not very tactful myself but his previous statements about effort do not need to be made in public.
 
CJ is a cancer to team basketball. How are we in year 9 or whatever and he’s still allowed to pound the rock every possession? He needs to be used off the ball on set shots and pull ups. Been begging for it for years but it doesn’t look like it’s ever gonna happen. Just trade him.

Roco is having an embarrassing season, that dude hasn’t hustled once all year

Sometimes I wonder to myself if Jody even knows basketball at all. Like is she one of those women you gotta explain everything about basketball to? That was a fast break. When they shoot behind the arc that’s a 3. Second chance points are offensive rebounds that we convert into points….

We don’t know anything about her. Has she been interviewed in the 2 plus years she’s had the team?
