    Twice in a week and a half we’ve had 82 or less against bad defensive teams. Unacceptable.

    I still think Evan Turner was nothing more than a panic plan b move by Olshey. They went after Parsons, and when he turned us down the didn't want to be left with their dicks in the wind, coming up with nothing with all the cap space we had.

    Yeah. When you have two diminutive starting guards.... That might be a problem. Good thing size isn't a trait you find in the NBA. (Rolls eyes)

    Nothing, to me, is more pathetic than watching 20,000 people lose their ever loving shit for a $1.00 item that they just got for free. It’s SO EMBARRASSING

    This offense is so broken. Way too many guys who can't shoot. When you have a game like this where CJ is shitting the bed there's just no chance.

    We will always struggle with these big backcourt teams. Ben Simmons is already looking LeBron-like.

    At least I get Alaa Abdelnaby. Blazers should have hired him.

    The only way I could get 5 A's at Duke was to spell my name.

    Still one of my favorite quotes

    I feel like philly fans have more to be excited about in the next couple years than blazer fans do which is pretty sad. I mean yeah we have Dame and cj but what’s nurks ceiling? And are harkless and turner even worth anything? Olshey talked crazy about assets but I don’t see any here. The value of guys like harkless and Leonard, turner is so bad. We have no free agent success and we aren’t gonna be a lottery team so how do we even upgrade? Traded up to get Collins for what? To sit there and wait to try and develop? Could of gotten somebody better at 10

    Once again, Nurk flips up a lay-in attempt too quickly. It's like he's deathly afraid of getting blocked.

    This is our worst offense since the Juan Dixon-Victor Crapapa team.

    We do have fans like that and that’s my point. The 6ers fans just won, like, a frosty for something and they lost their minds. I see the same at Blazers games. It bugs me that that’s the loudest I’ve heard their fans tonight
