    They get paid millions. They could give a fuck about losing.

    They actually cut away from Stotts interview because it was going bad. The reporters were not going easy.

    First, he said it wasn't the plan not to play Jones, that's just how it happened. He wanted to give those minutes to RHJ, and RHJ did well.

    Then Quick said but DJJ is the Blazers best FA, he's not a third string player and then Stotts said he didn't want to disparage DJJ but benching him is what was best for the team at this point in the season.

    jones isn't some savior, but terry keeps picking on him for some reason.

    maybe cuz he doesn't give one damn about defense.

    The Blazers have two wins above teams over .500 in since February 14th (over two months).
    - One was against a Miami Heat team missing Jimmy Butler and Goran Dragic
    - The other was against Dallas

    Look, Jones has been disappointing too - I have no problem admitting that. Some games it's hard to know he even played. That said, RHJ didn't bring anything he doesn't.

    Jones is as good as gone. He should opt out. Why Stott's would insult someone who didn't even play is mind boggling.

    Blazers would have had a better chance playing DJJ over RHJ

    Someone gonna tell me that the Blazers didn't get good enough looks to make all those shots they missed tonight?

    Blazers lose another game because of one terrible quarter.
