    There are so many blazers players in street clothes the guys who are actually playing are having to sit on the floor because the bench if full of guys in street clothes.

    Blevins starting the second half confirms anything and everything you ever wondered about tanking.

    If only we had started tanking sooner. We are clearly the best tankers in the league.

    Portland successfully loses to Houston. Eric is back! Come talk about the game, the NCAA tourney, and whatever else you want to talk about!

    Interesting again that Dunn was plus 13 in only 19 minutes in a game we lost by 19.

    I'm kind of liking what Dunn brings to the floor. He plays good defense, is a physical guard, and is a good passer

    can the Blazers bring Dunn back next season with Williams already signed too?
