    Now that it’s garbage time Little is allowed to take stupid shots cuz it doesn’t matter. So we foster bad habits. Play all the young guys when it counts.

    I hope the team had some fun last night. Did Melo take them out on the town?

    Last time I saw a Blazer team that played like dogs like this it was the Felton season.

    This team's done. I think the only question now is whether they fire Stotts after this game or wait until the end of the road trip. I'll be shocked if he's coaching the Blazers by the end of January.

    Can we offer Vanterpool the head job and have him come back?

    $147 mil payroll, highest in NBA by a distance, and Neil thinks fans are stupid and wants us to believe it’s ok to get blown out by 30 to Knicks because Collins and Hood are out... absolutely no accountability again.

    It’s definitely spiraling. Don’t see them firing Stotts but who knows. Turn it over to Tibetts for the year and see what he can do.

    We foster bad habits when our best players are in the game. It's no different when all the kids are on the floor together.

    This is the perfect game for Blazers fans who got drunk last night.
    Because this is such a sobering loss.

    Heck, I'd be inclined to turn it over to Brooke Olzendam. I haven't seen much of anything from this staff as a whole.

    it was a game like this that got Nate fired

    generally, I've been ambivalent about Stotts but, IMO, it's time to fire his ass

    and if Dame doesn't like it, or the thought of CJ being traded, then I'm thru worrying about the Blazers wasting Dame's prime. Portland needs an overhaul, and the way they are playing isn't all about injuries. Bad habits and trends that haven't been shut down by the GM or the coach, and that's their fucking jobs
