We are THAT team

[Mediocre Man]

I think we have made it to the status of “the team you want to play against to get right”

 

[sheed30]

And you are THAT guy that feels the need to make a new thread so often.

yeah cause Mediocre makes lots of new threads….sooo often.

That guy… lol.


Took one post to make it personal. Good job.

So many reason why i love this place…

Blow it up. This team is unlikable.

I wasn’t aware I was thought of as making a bunch of threads? Sorry for starting your new year off so horribly.

Oooh, this.

The Blazers have been slumpbusters for a while. Doesn't help that their defense sucks ass and they have only 2 starter quality players on the active roster right now.

Absolutely. Way short-handed....but other teams haven't gone unscathed either. We lost to:

Dallas without Luka
Memphis without Ja
LA without AD
....and maybe the worst loss earlier in the year, Philly without Embiid, Simmons, Harris, and Danny Green got hurt. To me, that was a defining predictor (as if the last few seasons weren't enough) that this team was destined to ineptitude. We had everyone healthy, they were missing their top 3 players.....and it was a double-digit loss.

That put Portland at 3-4, but to me, was a major indicator that this team KNEW that this version was basically the same as past versions which held no hope. It was like they stopped believing in themselves which in prior seasons, at least kept them competitive record wise.

Might as well get the pain over with so this team can be reborn anew.

Players love to get career highs against the Blazers, that's for sure

I'm still convinced they can build around Damian, BUT it's getting increasingly harder to find those players. Ideal situation, they trade for Simmons (not saying he's the end all be all), continue to suck and get a top 3 pick.

I agree with MM.....we aren't striking fear into anybody as constructed. The Lakers were playing like it was an allstar game last night.

Golden State without Klay Thompson;
Utah without Mitchell.

Don't worry about it. That dude is still upset Olshey was fired.

I cancelled my fuboTV subscription today. I haven’t watched several games in a row now and it’s hard to get motivated to do so.

I recommend the radio...its free and you can do other stuff while the games on without watching a screen...works for me....

I cancelled my league pass (via vpn) december 1st, and haven't missed it at all.

What is there to miss?

Trade for Simmons and send him to treatment for the rest of the season to get right. And pay him to do it.

We should just cut everyone and sign chauncy billups brothers and cousins and rin a lineup of billups billups billups billups and billups

We should have hired becky hanmon.

Relax bro. He had an open spot on his bench and filled it. If you think this hiring will either help or hinder our progress, you got some learning to do.
