    That referee, Ken Mauer plays better defense on Utah than the Blazers. This is how bad it's gotten.

    I’d have given him a 71 game suspension.

    The firing of Terry Stotts would be a Christmas miracle we all need in 2020.

    I think they'll win more games than we did that year, even with 10 less games played.

    You know, I've seen a lot of games over the last 8-9 years, and I've noticed a pattern.

    Guys, I don't think Stotts is a defensive minded coach.

    So uh... we're playing Melo and Kanter over RoCo? Then why the fuck are Dame and C.J. in the game?

    Terry Stotts' logic is so baffling to me. Are we trying to comeback? We have to get stops to comeback. We have to force turnovers and get runouts with aggressive defense... Either try to comeback or don't...

    Not sure what is more annoying. The Blazers playing hero ball all night or listening to Kent and Hurd making excuses for them.

    Stotts leaving Melo in for this 4th quarter “run” just validates his play more.

    You meet a man on the Oregon Trail. He tells you his name is Terry. “Terry?!” you say laughing, “Terry’s a girls name!” Without any hesitation, Terry pulls out a gun and shoots you dead.

    .

    .

    You have died of dissin’ Terry :(
