Least Favorite Blazer Team Ever?

[e_blazer]

I've been a fan of this team since the start. I've followed the team through the initial building days and other rebuilds. I've rooted for teams with far less talent. I've even suffered through the Jail Blazers era, when off-court behavior was an embarrassment. Still, through all of those times when the team didn't win, I can't recall another team that simply had less appeal as a basketball team than this one. No confidence and easily taken out of their game by any team willing to apply a modest amount of defensive pressure, a disturbing lack of fundamentals for a team with so many experienced players, total confusion on the defensive end that is only surpassed by the lack of organization on the offensive end, and not much in the way of young talent that you can be excited about for the future.

I'm having a hard time coming up with a Blazers team that I've less enjoyed watching. Anybody care to nominate another team for the title of least favorite?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

It's up there.

This is the least liked management for me.

Larry and Chad are right there with John Nash.

 

[MickZagger]

They don't even try defensively. Its pathetic to watch. This team could be good (atleast better than they are now). I'm not sure if prefer this team over the Charles 'Spider' Smith and Victor Khryapa teams....

 

[alex42083]

This one is probably at the top of the list for me. They don't care at all.

 

[illmatic99]

Easily for me. But I haven't been a Blazer fan as long as some of you guys. No hope in sight either, because we know the management and front office have no clue to lead us out of this hell.

 

[Nikolokolus]

"Least favorite" is a tough question to answer. this is probably the most apathetic I've ever felt about a Blazers team, even with the Jail Blazers I remember being disappointed and mad ... I'm not feeling much of anything with this group. Blech

 

[Boob-No-More]

Definitely the most disappointing. There is no excuse for the way they are playing right now. They just don't give a fuck, and as professionals who get paid millions of dollars, that's inexusable.

I've never cared less for a Blazer team. Our bad ones of the early 2000's at least had young guys that we thought were going to develop into a nice squad, so that at least made it interesting. This team is full of lame ducks and oldies that need to retire.

LA and Batum are the only all-round quality players we have, and they both have a case of the softies......

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Any team that does not have JR Rider, Ruben Patterson, Gary Trent, Tracy Murray OR Kenny Anderson on it cannot be my least fave team Blazer team. Not even close.

 

[Sinobas]

I actually liked Rider, Patterson and Trent. Anderson, Rider, Wallace, Grant, and Sabonis were a fun team!

 

[Ed O]

The team with Juan Dixon starting was my least-favorite team... 2005-06 (after looking it up).

21-61, 28th of 30 in pace. Expected 16 wins.

And it was obvious (by trading away from Chris Paul in the offseason) that the front office was absolutely fucking clueless.

That was my least-favorite team of all time.

This one is just older and more mediocre than I'd prefer. And, while I'm not sure that I understand how we're going to get better, it's more numbing than infuriating.

I enjoyed watching the Z-Bo led worst-team-in-the-league Blazers more than this squad. At least you didn't expect much and could look forward to the draft. This team is a mess.

 

[Ed O]

I actually liked Rider, Patterson and Trent. Anderson, Rider, Wallace, Grant, and Sabonis were a fun team!

Yep. That was a fun team that clearly had potential to go somewhere.

Yeah, that 21 win team was the one that immediately sprang to mind for me too. But this one is dreary too.

The dream I had that Batum might one day attend an All Star game has now died.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Is it bad that I was happy to see the Lakers beat Miami? Yes. Somehow that's attributed to how disappointed I am in this team.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

"More Numbing Than Infuriating." I like it. More honest than "Rise With Us." I think I'll add it to my .sig!

 

[magnifier661]

There isn't a single thing I like about this team. I was a huge fan of Aldridge but he's not a leader. He is robin and I think he is finally coming to that realization. Batum is the wonder twins. Forming into unnecessary and irrelevant water and animal elements that really don't help the justice league one bit. Yeah occasionally those twins pull out a one episode "save the day" installment, but for the most part, just in the series for comic relief.

 

[e_blazer]

The way this team is playing right now, they're several notches below mediocre. Since the 7-2 start, this team is 13-20. Mediocre sounds like an unattainable goal right now.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

For me, what makes this a lot worse is the fact that we don't have any players you could really hope turns into a star.

LMA is too nice to be that alpha male. That's what we need. A cp3 type of player that will get on you.

 

[Sinobas]

The only prospect we have that is the least bit exciting is Elliot Williams, but now that he's hurt, we don't even get to see him play when Nate sends in the "white flag" D-Leaguers.

This team needs to raid the scouting department of a team like the Spurs. Just compare their drafts to ours. Our draft history is pathetic.

 

[MARIS61]

Definitely this team.

The very first in their history that doesn't have even one player that excites me. They seem like nice guys but I don't see a competitive fire in any of them other than Joel. Management has been disastrous from the second Miller was hired.

I'd fire Miller and company, put the whole roster on the block and start with a new deck, with the same coach.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Not really. I'm just kind of in limbo because i know the team isn't going to respond until the coaching staff is fired. The management is the thing that bugs me the most.

I like the players on the team. Well, the following:

Crawford
Batum
Aldridge
E-Will

I could build a team around to compete with some trades and some tweaking.

and Matthews, Camby to a lesser extent, I like them, but they are probably more expendable.

Its just the management of the team is so fucking bad. From the training staff to the coaching to Larry Miller and the Vulcans. I think that is what is pissing me off more than anything here. Its not a franchise, its a dysfunctional corporation.

 

[illmatic99]

Then you have the Timberwolves legitimately looking likeable.

Fuck this shit, man. I can't believe I'm jealous of Minny.
