    Those two home games we let slip away were brutal.

    needed those wins with this road trip coming up

    Im on the trade Simons for a defensive wing or ultra mobile center bandwagon. Basically I only want to keep Lillard, Grant, Shapre and Hart. Im open to trading everyone else. Im increasingly skeptical of the Dame Ant back court and I was all about it last year and the offseason. We will see. Losing taints everything just like winning glosses over flaws.

    We can’t lose to the knicks next game. 5+ game losing streak is what tanking teams do…

    I could see us going 0-4 this trip now. I hope not.

    Plenty of teams would love to have Ant.

    Cleveland is a damn good team. Top 10 in both offense and defense. Not a good matchup for us either with their length. We committed too many unforced turnovers and still competed. On to the next.

    Ant had a GARBAGE game but it was one game. Not going give up on him based off that. Really seemed like his head was not in the game at all.

    Chauncey, please NEVER, EVER, EVER play Justise and Trendon together again.

    Ant went on a 'hot streak'......to finish 6-18.

    Meanwhile, our frontcourt was a combined 18-31.

    I've again lost confidence in Ant and Nas. They were the guys I'd have sold high on last year.

    The Blazers lose their 4th in a row and 5th in their last 6th games. Turnovers and bad defense are the story once again. Come talk about the game with us!

    An address on all the damn turnovers would help too. Don't enable poor play no matter who it was, like Terr Bear did for much too long.

    You know who else used to get hot at the end of games we would lose? Luke Babbitt....the "yea we won chalupas" hero.

    I wonder if GS would bite on Ant to replace Klay. He would be good around Steph I think. Maybe maybe not.
