    Ridiculous things we could do (will probably do) in the 2nd half:
    - Run some one-pass, one-on-one offense
    - Drop the big on every pick n roll
    - Play Melo and Kanter together (no Giles)

    I'll follow-back on this at the end of the 3rd quarter to see if we're 3 for 3.

    We need a fresh voice somewhere. Whether it's Olshey, Stotts, CJ or Dame. Break up the damn core.

    We have been the NBA's definition of insanity since 15-16.

    Remember that Slam Dunk champ that can jump out of the gym and is great at finishing off of cuts to the basket?

    Did we see a single M____F____ing one?

    Coaching to a player's strength my ass.

    It's not his fault. He probably doesn't even know his role on this team

    Also, fuck Hurd and Kent for trying to convince the viewers this is just a shooting difference.

    Talking about the Jazz making shots and the Blazers just missing, as if the Jazz aren't shooting WIDE open shots and the Blazers are taking contested threes from our fucking center.

    The Blazers had an insane 19 straight home-opening victories. This team looks like they can lose 19 straight.

    Understandable, but in the ultra-competitive Western Conference, we can't afford another slow start.

    Giles isn’t gonna play this season is he. I dislike Terry, I think he sucks.

    It’s a three point shooting league now and Terry has no fucking clue how to defend the three. We will continue to lose and suck until he’s gone.

    F Melo and Hood for their contested, long 2s.

    Looks like another year with a sucky bench.

    Watching this does anybody else feel...unclean?

    I know that nothing is less relevant to the league than the fans. Still, I have some modicum of self respect and I just can't do this anymore.
