    More positives. Harkless is consistently playing well. Plumlee has become the best passing big man in the NBA.

    Some swiss dude is in our house, acting like he's hot shit after our pathetic defense.



    I hope our guys are embarrassed by this

    Yea until we find someone that can play the middle as a rim protector we are just high lottery team. Dame two great game at point and started good with 5 assist this game and none the 2nd. Sometimes it seems when he see he not going get his average he starts play ISo game to get his. CJ was hot at the start but went away from him. It dame job to control the game and sometimes he can be his own worst enemy.

    I would understand some of negativity if we were 4-15 or 3-16. That would be bad. But we're 9-10 and our last two victories were blowouts in our favor. We'll be fine. We took a bit of step backwards on the glass tonight but I'm sure Stotts will address that.

    The 4 seed only has two more wins than us right now. Don't banish us to the lottery just yet.

    They aren't fine, they're underwhelming this year, playing horrible and at times, non existent defense. They're on pace to miss the playoffs and get a weak lotto pick.

    CJ got his shots in second half but he didn't hit them. He was 6/7 at one point but finished 3/12.

    Where were some of you when we blew out the red-hot Pelicans on Friday night? Many of you only show up for the losses.

    Right and it's November. Focus on the positives, wait for Aminu to come back, and tell me what you think in January.

    Dude do you understand the Blazers have the worst defense in the NBA ??

    There's no we will be fine when you suck this bad defensively. Blazers get blown out about 2 times a week this season. This season is over.

    This is a personnel issue. It doesn't matter what kind of adjustment you made, what kind of speeches is given, the type of players we have are not designed to be good defenders. A semi rebuild is needed here

    Last year, we were 11-20 at one point. There is a LOT of season left.

    Our 2 best defenders are out. When Aminu gets back, we will be much better. So you're right.
