    I’m not sure Phil Jackson or Pops could win with the Blazers currently available to play. But I would be happy to have either one give it a shot.

    No matter what coach or what system of defense, guys can't just fall asleep.

    I wonder, if the Lakers keep losing, how long before someone starts calling their arena “The Crypt”?

    It's already been called that, but not for the reason you mentioned.

    were missing players, but this team is broken beyond repair

    poorly constructed roster, rookie head coach, players have no chemistry on the court, they dont seem to care

    id be okay with this if we were trying to lose on purpose, but were trying to compete and were failing miserably

    There a lot wrong with this team but I don't think they have bought into Billups system and now watching them I know they haven't bought into it. Yes we are some key players but this been going south before now.

    This might be the most depressing era of Blazer basketball I can remember. It's like we're in this weird basketball purgatory that there is no clear way out of. At least in 2005 we knew we were going to suck.

    Happy New Year!

    When you can't make shots, brick freethrows, can't rebound and can't stop anybody....it's pretty hard to win...

    In 2005 we didn't have an all-NBA, top 75 player in NBA history player in his prime on the team. We had Telfair.
