    Is getting swept out of the Playoff year after year Rip City Basketball? Is losing to a team without their entire starting back court Blazers basketball? This needed a re-set. It has to get worse before it gets better. Neil screwed this roster for years. At least there is now a chance of legitimate change. Some times I have to dig up the lawn and plant new seed to get good grass for you to mow. It will get better.

    Well shit, they got me too. Very lame considering it came up as a notification on my phone. Sad that that's where we're at as a society if I get push notifications that's fake news.

    Save it bro. I miss playing in the playoffs every season. Don't get me wrong, I want to lose every game the rest of the season and get the best picks we can, but I miss winning games.

    Yeah but most here would rather the Blazers get the best pick. Not the Lakers.

    Dallas looks scary good. Kidd has turned their defense around completely

    Dumb question… I just can’t understand how the Clippers can sign and afford all this players, Leonard, PG, Norm, Reggie, Covington compared to our team

    Closest since Larry Bird I’ve ever seen. Not just because they’re both white. But style of play. Basketball smarts through the roof.

    Because their owner is the wealthiest owner in professional sports and doesn’t give a shit about the luxury tax. He’s building a new arena on his own dime.

    There's not a hard cap in the NBA. So they have been dedicated in using trades and mostly re-signing players with bird rights to push their total salaries as high as anyone besides the Warriors and Nets. The Nets and Warriors are not owned by richer ownership than we have but they do have much bigger local TV deals and endorsements than we do. The fact is that these teams will pay the luxury tax bill in order to have the best rosters.
