    Lots of passing. No one wants to shoot.

    It's the NBA... Magic beat the Celtics in back to back games, OKC beat us, etc.

    We have two good shooters. And one extremely streaky one.

    It turns out the Blazers are trash.

    Exactly. You need to expect the unexpected with this league. Shooting is contagious.

    We aren't getting him. He will never be a Blazer. Not wasting my time.

    Exactly what many people were calling for in previous years: More passing.

    If only that correlated to better offense, I would've been all for it.

    Passing doesn't work when no one wants to shoot.

    I've gone from the one who was down on the team when I thought they were a play-in team after the first 3 weeks, to thinking they're not as bad as some are saying now.

    Already know the results and don’t want to waste my time watching. From 4-2 prediction to 2-4. Just embarrassing. Suns got a new owner maybe Blazers can get one next

    Portland absolutely needs more out of Ant. He shot the same number of FG's as Dame but scored 20 points less....yuck. 4 of 5 starters did what they needed to do this game, although Nurk was a lot better, and smarter, in the 1st half than the 2nd half. 29-11 scoring advantage for Jokic over Nurk made everything else uphill

    Blazers need a scorer in the 2nd unit desperately as well
