    However slim they might be, the Blazers have found a way

    Speaking of Dallas, they are 6-7, with a legitimate MVP candidate, an "elite" coach by all accounts, although they were missing KP. They just lost to Chicago, Toronto, and the Bucks. I do like Donnie Nelson, think hes a great talent evaluator. Cuban is great. Carlisle great. Yet, here they are 6-7 and not winning a championship any time soon (IMO)

    Man, they should "blow it up" soon. Hope we can get Doncic when they do.

    I don’t recall telling anybody how to support the team. I asked the guy a question. That was a lot of unnecessary angry typing bro. We good?

    Great take.
    As far as @THE HCP ,he would definitely need proof of “all the horrible” posts he’s made, having trouble remembering any.

    By the time CJ gets back Rodney and Ant will hopefully be shooting more consistently. Gary too.

    I haven’t posted anything about Stotts on here other than my last post.

    I don't have to be angry to call something bullshit.

    But I just asked the guy why he roots for the team then. That’s it. You said I’m telling people HOW to root for them. I clearly never did that.

    Are you trying to tell me it wasn't a loaded question?

    'Hope' may be best provided by getting a legitimate talent in this summer's Draft. Obviously Dame doesn't have the talent around him with who is currently on the roster even when healthy. They have no cap room and Olshey hasn't shown the inclination to trade anything but supporting role players. So until more talent arrives, Dame is stuck.

    The best way to do that under the circumstances is through the Draft. Imagine the 'hope' that would instantly arrive via a Cade Cunningham, Evan Mobley, Kuminga, Scottie Barnes, Ziare Williams, Jalen Johnson, etc. Maybe that player could be the Tim Duncan to Dame's David Robinson.

    Whatever, this group as it is has had quite a stretch and just haven't taken the next steps. Injuries have likely ruined another season of mediocrity..........so take advantage.

    There's a set of fans that are perfectly happy getting bounced in the first round every year.

    We tried our best! Golly gee willikers!

    Positive spin.

    this could really get hood,GTJ and simons into a groove that will help alter in the season.
    Our schedule is pretty week.. we should still be able to best a lot of teams on the upcoming schedule.

    We're not gonna tank with Dame in his prime. We're not gonna tank 14 games into a season. Ugh

    I'm not saying tank. But I can't stand the thought of another year of Terry Stotts after this year because CJ and Nurk were injured. I'm tired of it dude.

    this...it's a jumper cable for the bench...and actually it's part of how Popovich has so much success....he uses the hell out of his bench, sometimes for entire games when his stars are healthy...next man up is how the next man up finds his shot or sharpens his defense....without Wes going down....CJ might not have played much for two more seasons....Giles has a chance, Ant has a chance....Hoodie is already taking advantage of his....won't be easy but it's doable...Trent will be shooting more and Melo won't be the only offense off the bench

    This is the biggest bummer of both injuries. I'm sorry if this is insensitive or if anyone thinks I'm less of a fan because of it. I hate it that our guys are injured for them and for our team's chance to prove itself. I hate even more that Olshey has another year to con his way out of either getting fired or having to rebuild around Dame and get rid of Stotts. I mean another year of "we still haven't seen this team healthy"?!? This shit sucks.
