    Being realistic. The Blazers are pathetic. I will be suprised if they win Tuesday the way they are playing. There is no life in this team. They are playing so shitty Meyers is playing well.

    Oh my Optimism left the door open two years ago and hasn't been back since. I have zero expectations of a win for the rest of the season as of right now.

    When the best wins you can get come to sub-500 teams, and you get your asses kicked by 40 win teams, then expecting to get wins against elite 60 win teams is ridiculously foolish.

    That was fun for once. Somehow I was entertained despite the loss. Maybe it was because some unusual players (Leonard, Napier, Cousins, Rondo) played so hard, but I'm not sure.

    Meyers had a nice game. A lot have admitted that who you wouldn't think would. But one is a pariah for a reason the other is a big 3 for a reason. That reason? Sample size of both good and bad.

    As I said before, if Meyers could play Cousins every game then he would be worth his contract. We don't play NO every game this season though....

    The good news is it’s going to get worse and that’ll likely force Neil to make some moves. I cannot believe they’ll just be OK with the team winning 37 games.

    Spot on. The players (starting with our leaders) need to accept responsibility for their effort.

    I read that OK as OKC the first time. Now that is a team what shouldn't be happy with its projected results.

    Both Nurk, and CJ have been in a funk lately. I don't know what's going on, but I hope they both snap out of it.

    I'm still waiting for Nurk to look like a Beast. He has been BAD this year. Terrible touch around the basket and dumb turnovers. He makes some great plays, but makes about 3 errors for each good play.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Nurk is top 5 in turnovers. Pretty sure Cousins is in there too, to be fair.

    Yep. My fantasy team is getting killed having him on it. He'll turn it around, hopefully... but he takes some really stupid shots, too.

    If we could trade Nurk+Turner to LA for Jordan I'd fucking do it. Tired of those two carelessness...
