    Harkless is the one bright spot this season. I wouldn't punish him by benching him. That's why he was in my starting lineup. Him and Dame. Everyone else can ride the pine in my opinion.

    I will always be a blazer fan but this kinda effort I see makes me not even wanna watch games. Just doesn't feel the same. It's rough. I really wonder what Neil is trying to figure out right now. Gotta be a deal coming. Everybody tradeable except harkless and aminu probably. Who knows. Same team basically. Worse performances. Guys got paid and it shows. Our front court is the worst in the league. Felt like we played better defense last year and rebounded decently. Don't know what happened. Went from really competing with golden state to getting blown out by the worst teams in the league. Crazy

    I'll say this....it gets harder to get invested in the roster after a string of blowout losses when you're beaten in almost every category of a game. Without Chief...we've really been exposed on defense

    Because I didn't really think they made much of a difference to the game. But here you go.

    Reb
    Us - 48
    Them - 37

    OReb
    Us - 13
    Them - 1

    DReb
    Us - 35
    Them - 36

    We only won the rebounds because of offensive boards. As @yuyuza1 pointed out at half time, we only won offensive boards because we shot so badly.We missed 55 shots, they missed 37 shots. I don't know what the second chance points were, anyone know?

    It was a much improved effort compared to recently. I wonder how much Ed Davis starting had to do with this?

    It's not up to you. It's not up to me. We can't "try your idea" and make them give up. They're not going to give up because they are competitors. So cheer them on.

    Only allowing a team with Davis and Asik to grab ONE offensive rebound in an entire game is a phenomenal feat.

    Lets make a bet. If we come back 7-10 then you agree to never make a prediction on this thread. If we don't come back 7-10 I will filter my negativity out a lot more when it comes to game threads. Deal?

    In what ways is he better? He's a ball hog, a worse defender, and not as good of a scorer.

    This season they're both averaging 1.8 ORPG, so it was a good effort, and absolutely a positive; but I don't know about "phenomenal".

    I don't like the bet. I won't change the kind of fan I am. But I'll bet you $100.

    CJ had 5 assists tonight by the way. 43% from three. Very good player.

    Dude. I was talking about the TEAM. A TEAM with Asik and Davis was held to 1 offensive rebound. Those two alone average 3.6 so holding the whole TEAM to 1 is a phenomenal effort.
