    You know what frustrates me the most about all of this? And tell me if I'm not the only one...

    These two times that Dame has faced LA, he's had an opportunity to go ape shit and score like nobody's business, and show LA what he walked away from. And to embarrass him.

    And yet...two underwhelming games in a row against SA. And LaBitch sits there laughing on the bench.

    It drives me fucking batshit nuts.

    I don't either I just like the story of a team who lost 4 of 5 starters making the playoffs with a guy named Damian Lillard leading the way. More attractive story than us falling short for a lottery pick.

    Really? You don't see more talent on that bench and in that starting line up? How about West playing for 1 million this year just to get a ring?

    I agree! I think Lillard is a future HOF player too!

    Just keep playing tough Blazers. I'm always happy if they just keep playing and never quit trying to gut out a win.

    Yes, they are more talented - but not by as much as it appears. They aren't winning off of talent, they're winning because of their coaching. They have one really good player and a bunch of role players. We have two really good players and a bunch of role players.

    I wish that the world cared more about a story like that.... but remember that line from Moneyball. "It only matters if we win the Series." Billy meet Neil.

    Duncan, Parker, Ginobli...and? All three of them are role players at this point - very good role players, but role players none the less.

    Aminu will make the Nigeria Basketball Hall of Fame, so that's two HOF players on the Blazers.

    Terrible substitutions by Stotts. Plays our starters heavy minutes in a blowout loss on the start of a back to back and 3 in 4 nights.

    He starts Noah Vonleh for the entire season but won't give our best players much need rest. Makes zero sense.
