    that's what I see a lot; we seem to have to work so hard for our baskets that I start thinking we deserve to win.

    And how do you know that Dame DOESN'T want out in FA? Would YOU resign a supermax to this garbage?

    Spurs
    131 points.
    11-15 from three
    60% from the field.
    @kjironman1

    Aldridge wouldn't help with this.

    Portland
    118 points.
    12-29 from three
    52% from the field

    Doesn't look like Portland struggled offensively.

    Completely and utterly broken is this team.

    And the sad thing is, even if Olshey opened his eyes and wanted to make any changes he can't do so until the ownership situation is sorted out.

    So he plays good pick and roll defense for the spurs but wouldn’t for the Blazers? Is that what you are saying? Because the pick an roll is used by every team in the league? Anyway not really my point at all. The Blazers went on two huge scoreless runs where the Spurs won this game. When Aldridge played for the Blazers that was when they would throw it to the big guy and let him come away with a basket. You can talk about pick n roll and perimeter defense all you want but this game is about scoring the ball. When you give up multiple 19-2 scoring runs you lose games.

    I mean look scalma, it's not that i wish Dame should leave, he is my favourite Player and the trail Blazers are my favourite team, but he will never win a Championship with this Team, Never ever. A Lillard/McCollum backcourt is good enough for regular Season but won't make any damage in the Playoffs. If you are Happy with that, fine that's your view. But i'm tired of this Team outside of Lillard, i'm ready for a Full Rebuild with the new ownership, new Front Office and new coaching staff, i can't watch this mediocre shit anymore

    This team need at least one game changer to play with Lillard. Position 2, 3 or 4. unfortunatelly this is not enough.

    Hope i am wrong and that they will get theirselves together and play some good basketball in Decembre, very tough matches are coming. Do not stop believe until math say that. We can play good, no doubt, even with this team, need some self confidence..

    He won't. It's a sad truth. Another sad truth. We will keep watching and cheering and hoping. One day he will be gone and the next "era" will begin. And, it will be the same shit

    He’s not winning a championship anywhere else either, unless he ends up on golden state. Your logic is dumb.

    I'm tempted to not care about the season as long as they keep playing like this.

    This has to be the fucking post of the year? Aldridge was playing AGAINST the Blazers.

    The worst part is there is no element of surprise... it’s the exact same team for 3 years now... it’s not fun anymore

    He has a far better chance to win elsewhere...LA, Milwaukee, Boston, Totonto, etc than here. He has 0% chance of winning a trophy here. He never will

    No, he has the same odds there. Nobody is beating golden state four times.
