    Highly unlikely. Stotts said "were gonna start our best players". This can not be excused with missing our 7th best player...

    Well, the Blazers had another opportunity tonight to show some progress against a good team and get run out of the gym in the 2nd half. The Blazers Uprise Postgame Show is about to begin, join us if you want to console each other.

    Let.

    It.

    Go.

    Their struggles are not because of a guy who started 11 games over the last 120+ games.

    2 first ound picks is worth it for Covington. We essentially gave up one 2nd for Norman Powell so the Collins thing more than canceled out, and if Collins was healthy it may have been more justified.

    We might get drafted pick when everything is said and done. Dallas and memphis will probably over take us.

    We got the Jazz on a night they shoot 29% from 3 and we still lose big. Crazy.

    A 2nd round pick for a 2 month rental does not cancel out 2 1st round picks for Collins. Not even close, come on.

    By far Portland's best chance of obtaining all-star talent is 1st round picks. We've given up 4 1st round picks for 2 players that will never be all-stars. That's killer.

    A non-lottery pick has an 8% chance of becoming an all-star. If we had those 4 picks, you can do the math.

    I'll take the odds of drafting an all-star with 4 1st round draft picks over the odds of Cov or Collins being an all-star.

    How bad are we against teams this year?

    Who cares about years ago.

    We suck against ANY playoff west team.

    Be present.

    If we get 7th seed but lose play-in, are we in the lottery?

    I just can't see the ownership not telling Olshey to pull the plug on Stotts as soon as possible. Maybe they will went but longer they wait you just might loose some of there season ticket holders for next year.
