Jon, I frankly don't ask you

*didn't*

 

[BonesJones]

Don't make me go full Meyers Leonard on you. Don't you know the real reason he's taken the nickname "Hammer"?

That's just hurtful.

Gonna loose this one big Time

At Oracle with the worst 3pt defense in the NBA, no. These are not the games the Blazers usually win, not this season. These are the games the Blazers lose by double-digits.

Stotts looks lost right now, we look ridiculous on the court, every game is a Dame/CJ shoot out-hero-ball contest, there is absolutely no system and no intention of sharing the ball.

The Jazz and Warriors have one thing in common, they both have players who are tall (yes, we do have a few guys who are just as tall, but our gaurds and wings look like pip squeaks against theirs) and have length.

Watching the Blazers play against both these teams is like watching a high school team play against elite college players.

The Blazers have no chance against teams like this. Another blowout, Stotts would be wise to just play his starters as if it were a preseason game.

It won’t get better, at least not significantly…
Stotts has had enough of opportunities, I would thank him for his service but the problem is that the franchise would have a hard time finding a good replacement given the fact that the future of the franchise is rather uncertain. Such an awful situation to be in…

After the Lakers beating the Warriors, another blow out lost for the Blazers.

125 Warriors
99 Blazers

sad

You think Portland is going to score 99 points tonight? That feels a bit optimistic to me....

Watch how we collapse defensively when a ball handler drives. It’s high school level. All the guy has to do is kick it out to a shooter for a wide open look. They will employ this strategy against the warriors because adjustments are for loserz

It's half ass too. Like they don't get close enough to impede the drive but are far enough from their man they can't get back in time. It's infuriating that the coaches allow it to happen time and time again.

Reading this thread is depressing. There is a small chance they come out and click on all cylinders. Right? I mean there is at least a chance.

 

[Scalma]

Wait....Klay is in a shooting slump? Hahahhahaha warriors by 30.

 

[illmatic99]

We are gonna get slaughtered

 

[kjironman1]

Blazers 9.5 point dogs here. I'm going with the over on that. If they keep this game to a 10 point loss i would be very surprised.

 

[DUB]

Well the Trail Blazers can’t possibly do worse than Australia is doing in the cricket.

 

[THE HCP]

Dame is ready....

 

[hoopsjock]

Dame is ready....

Did you tell him that you post numerous times a day that you think his team will only win 40 games?

 

[DUB]

As part of League Pass I can watch either broadcast. The Warriors broadcast is working fine, the Trail Blazers broadcast keeps on buffering. Omen?

 

[Chris Craig]

We have the lead!

 

[DUB]

Nurk leaking out for the fast break!

 

[Chris Craig]

Good start

 

[DUB]

We have the lead!

How long does a game have to go for to be counted?

Like if there was a blackout or an earthquake right now, would we get the W?

 

[riverman]

Solid start

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Good start.

 

[jonnyboy]

I dont get to watch because fuck Centurylink.

 

[Chris Craig]

Good timeout

 

[trailblazer18]

Gonna have to score every possession.

 

[Strenuus]

I cant wait until CJ is traded. He's a chucker who is inconsistent.

 

[Chris Craig]

I dont get to watch because fuck Centurylink.

I have century link internet

 

[DUB]

Nurk needs to slow down his post moves. If he takes his time, he can score on Looney all night.

He needs to take his time and use his size

 

[Strenuus]

Mmmm, I love iso-ball.
