His defense was really awful though on the ball..I didn't see his stats but he was blown by all night for layup drills at the rim...he did get in a couple passing lanes .
 
I didn't expect the Blazers to win or even to be close, but this still had a little too much of the feel of a pick-up game for me. Guys getting a chance to really play need to show more determination and discipline in games like this. You have to make the kind of plays you're going to be asked to make if it's evenly matched. Our more established players approaching it as if it doesn't matter doesn't help, either.

Portland gets demolished in Denver. Dame has successful surgery! CJ's wife gives birth to their son! Come talk about the game and trades and other stuff!

I got the distinct feeling some of those guys agents had told them to pack their bags after this road trip.
 
Next time just forfeit the game and pay the fine. What an embarrassment

After, or have them packed and by the door before they left on the trip?

Pretty sad the blazers don't get many national televised games and this ends up being one of them.
 
Chauncey throws in the flag WAYYYYYY TOO EARLY. I know we didn't have much of a chance to win, but c'mon man! Have some pride. You say you still want the team to work on stuff, but to play a bunch of G Leaguers. You're not working on jack. The starters still need work. DSJ didn't facilitate to Nurk once. They need to work on that. That would have been way more helpful than finishing the game with the Silly Puddy Gang.

If Nurk got hurt in a game that we were down by almost 40 you would kill the coach for having him in. Talking about building chemistry between your first string center and your third string point guard doesn't make a lot of sense either.

We agree to disagree. I'm not saying play the guys into the ground. But c'mon. We were down 20, not 40. Throwing in the flag that early, when the team doesn't play the next day, is pathetic. And Nurk is finally starting to play closer to his pre fracture days. He was doing a nice job out there. Injuries can happen at the beginning of a game as well. God forbid that happen to Nurk again. But he finally looks like he's not worried about getting hurt. DSJ needs the work with Nurk. His status is elevated with Dame out.
 
102 post in a regular season game thread! EASILY an all time LOW since we made the great migration! Summer league games got more! WOW! @SlyPokerDog it may be time to move on from this joint back from where we came.

That's really surprising because it was a TNT game and their replays are soooooooo much better than the ones on Blazer broadcasting.

He got the green light to tank. Get use to enjoying it. This is the rest of the year my friend. Settle in.

Thank You.
 
I watched until they were down by 30. Fell asleep after that.
I did listen to the TNT crew say the only way the Blazers could rebuild is to trade Lillard. I thought that was a little over the top.

I noticed that too, He seems to get caught leaning the wrong way a lot. He's got the intensity on D but needs to refine it.

I watched the first quarter and fast forwarded though the rest. Every time I stopped to watch, the Blazers were firing crosscourt passes to nobody but the fans. I can't remember seeing a game that had more of those types of turnovers. Just though them into the stands.

Let's focus on the important stuff: Blevins was 2/3 from deep.
 
No Dame No CJ No Powell and No Simons.....

All this talk about how we cant have another guard or two with Dame... Right now we have 4 guards and none can play.

Dennis Smith Jr is more of a pt guard than half the guys you mentioned...he actually had a solid game...17 pts..8 dimes and only 1 TO....that's a solid pt guard. He also plays decent defense ..we do have plenty of guards
