Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

I'm curious, has there ever be a road game where Blazers really showed out? I'm obviously including reg. season games. Literally just curious that's all.
Have to go back to Seattle Sonics days and when the Kings were good.
 
Suns picks up Craig and Crowder and improves their team while we sign DJJ who never plays lol

And we got CJ who got paid and doesn't have the winning attitude
 
I meant to add Blazers fans showing out. I don't know why I forgot to add *fan* but maybe it doesn't change either of your answers.
That is what i was talking about i think? The Fans used to get bus loads going to Seattle and Sacramento is a quick drive as well. Then you can get a hop to Seattle even now for less than a $100. Back then it was like $49.
 
The team that beat us handily with 1 guy, just got boat raced by the Suns.


Dear Neil,

That’s not entirely on the fucking coach. Our roster is poorly constructed.


Dear Jo Lynn,

Please see through this fucking used car salesman and bring in someone who can put a proper team around Dame


Dear Chris,

For some reason, I just don’t like you very much

starting 3 guys 6'3" and under in a league that is dominated by wing positions is something a stupid coach does.

what did Chris Craig ever do to you?
 
If we had Lebron, the apologists would still say the roster is terribly constructed as soon as Stotts botched another playoff run.

It's more predictable than Terry Stotts in the post-season. Okay, maybe not THAT predictable.
 
I don't get the wind-up or follow-through on the Jokic call. Wind-up should have to be in the direction of a player in order to have any bearing on the call. His "wind-up" was in the direction of the ball. By that reasoning, going up for a tomahawk jam is a flagrant 2. Or a sky hook.

Same goes for the follow-through. He followed through the ball, not through the player. Strike 2 for dunking.

Powell has a 6’11” wingspan and an 8’6” standing reach. You don’t play defense with your hair line

Can’t both be true?
Can’t Terry not be the best coach at adjustments, and Neil not be great at putting the right pieces on the team?
 
Personally I think Crawford is more likely than MadBum to make the HOF, but at the end of the day neither will. But then, they’ve really lowered the standards/requirements over the years……..now back to your regularly scheduled thread……

Brandon Crawford?

I can't think of any other Crawford for them.. and he would no way make it. Mad Bum will almost for sure.

There's more to defense than just length. The guy is the size of a small guard, not a wing. The length of his legs, his shoulders and his strength. He got pushed around a lot by MPJ. If we have him playing the three he is going to get bodied up a lot and it's just not fair to him or anyone else on our defense. Norman Powell is a guard and not a big one. Dame and CJ are guards and they are small ones. We need more size on the perimeter.
 
Cris Paul is better than Dame… by a mile
Chris Paul hasn't gone any further in the playoffs than Dame has. Not one Finals appearance. And Chris has been in the league 8 years longer. And Dame dropped 55 & 10 on the same Denver team. Chris Paul isn't even on Dame's level.

Shooting range isn't everything. As I've noted for years, Lillard and McCollum are both Butterfingers compared to the error-free Chris Paul.

Im not complaining about Powell starting.
 
So how does this work? Does Michael Porter Jr still “deserve his OWN team”?
