    Terry Stotts said we "had to win this game"...

    Okay, don't tank - but please... this team is not playoff ready, as odd as that sounds.... this isn't just bad - this is downright pathetic.

    We are still it and we close the QT strong hope carry over in the 2nd half. Defense needs to get active in the 2nd half too.

    Lol, I don't think it's either of those things. Our offense effecting our defense is the reason. A few missed on our end followed by few makes on the other has this team crawling into a shell.

    The confidence of this team has been fragile all year.

    Every non-Blazer fan conversation I hear about us this year.....

    "How can the Blazers be this bad?"

    "They overachieved last season. So people put unrealistic expectations on them.
    They were only supposed to win around 20 games last season."

    Nobody wants to get traded so they're all just lowering their trade value in case

    Why celebrate it? It looks like they did and they were hungover for the 2nd quarter.

    Wipe that whole first half off... it was horrible.
