    Utah is a better team. Better coached team definitely.

    Even if we added Giannis, Stotts would just sit him in the corner. Elite wing wouldn’t even matter until we get a new coach

    That fast break by Gary is an encapsulation of this team right now.

    Doesn't it seem like Kanter is defending against Gobert better than Nurk?

    Why is Melo on the other end of the floor before we even have the rebound?

    You'd think Utah had 35 assists to Portland's 5 reading this thread about their ball movement vs ours.

    I don't notice any change. in either strategy or urgency. looks as if stotts has resigned to this being a loss since quarter 1

    Stotts coaches without passion so the team in front of him plays without passion. Four straight blowout losses ... smh.

    So first game of preseason Giles plays his heart out and gets rewarded with more bench time. Why even play for this team if good jobs go unrecognized.

    Jazz playing NBA ball. Blazers playing playground ball.

    The Blazers doing a great Washington Generals impression.

    Not impressed by effort, team play, anything really.

    Ok so it's not just me? I thought maybe I was just being a dick. This shit only works if Dame and CJ play out of their minds and hit difficult shots in the face of good defense.
