    We still have a chance to win this (albeit a very, very slim chance). Don't give up, Blazers.

    So is practically every roster in the NBA -- sure there are some areas that need to be addressed, but it's not like KP isn't going to adjust things here and there this off-season; he's done it every year he's been in charge of the team.

    This is a soft, jumpshooting team with or without Greg. We need another slasher because Roy can't do it alone.

    Denver can get any shot they want on us at any time.

    This wasn't even competitive.

    Not to belabor the point, but KP's unwillingness to make a deal doomed our season. He better pull off a huge deal in the summer or he'll lose his luster as a GM.

    The goal was the playoffs. We're still in the running. Next game is at home against Minnesota. We'll be fine.

    Who do you root for tomorrow? Utah or Denver? I'm going to root for Denver.

    omg, are you still fucking hung up on the trade thing? Vince or jeff is not taking this team to the next level!!!!! And they certainly weren't worth Batum or Bayless (Personally, speaking, I'd have given up Rudy for Butler)
    I do think we should have made a minor deal to net Salmons..he's a good SF and doing very well in Chi

    From 4th to 7th place. What a huge drop from just one game.

    That's ridiculous. We are 38-23 if we lose this game. That is a huge improvement from last season. We are 5th in the league in point differential. We have, what, the 3rd best home record in the league? And while we haven't been great on the road, we've been much better than last season.

    We don't need a move. Just more time to grow. If we were playing the same as last season, I'd be with you. But they're CLEARLY getting better as they grow older.

    Until we show we can win a damn game on the road, I think scoreboard watching outside of Phoenix is pointless
