    How are we feeling about Stotts / Billups now?

    Without Benny Mac, this could be the worst blowout of the season. Yuck.

    This is shameful I feel bad for Dame.

    How legit was that talk we heard about people inside the organization questioning Billups as a coach?

    I can confidently predict that this will be the last game we lose this year!

    Don’t forget. Lakers suck. They can blow this lead. It’s what they do even when LeBron plays well.

    I want to see the team compete rather than what has been under perform though…

    Granted injuries and what not. But this hasn’t been great. We will see, hopefully we can turn it around but it’s quite possible we could miss the playoffs which isn’t great.

    Im Forever an optimist but it’s honestly not going well right now like we haven’t seen in a while. Always going to have losses and losing streaks but in our losses this year it’s been bad.

    Honestly forget Olshey more than anything really…
    He really did mismanage things. He’ll probably never GM again.

    Watching Michael Holton have to work with Craig at halftime makes me miss Jordan Kent.

    I’m feeling like maybe the players available to play are more important than whoever is coaching them.

    I didn’t say we weren’t. The current roster isn’t very good, especially now with all of the injuries. I think the roster is a bigger part of the crappy record than whoever is coaching them.

    He's had plenty of good games this year, not against us.

    I don't think he's some all-NBA player, but he's producing as well or better than half our roster. For the minimum, you could do a lot worse.

    The Lakers just bad enough to blow this lead. The question is: Are the Blazers good enough to field a comeback?
