    This roster is incredibly flawed. If Joe isn't planning on making moves then yeah we should tank and the season is over but I'm hoping he's watching what we are and realizes he's put together a roster that is far far less than the sum of it's parts.

    Outside of a 26-7 1st quarter run and a 14-0 4th quarter run, we played well enough to win! :showoff:

    It actually wasn’t. This game was won in the 4th.

    This loss wasn’t because of talent disparity. This loss was due to a team that didn’t come prepared to play. You can’t continually put yourself in such big deficits and expect to comeback.

    I mean they got it to single digits but then it goes back to 20. Had the first quarter been anything other than a shit sandwich they could have won this game.

    we have our shortest guys guarding the rim.

    this is by design.

    This is my team. I will stand by them and root for them regardless of the situation. That being said, this roster is fucking terribly constructed and although it's not championship level talent it is playoff level talent that is less than the sum of it's parts.

    Moves need to be made but regardless of if they are or are not I will be here rooting for my team.

    Wouldn’t know because the roster he has now is far from a contender

    You won't win much giving up a 37-14 run.

    This is the correct answer. Has been the correct answer for all our rosters over the last 8+ years.

    Prob not though. Raptors are better and would’ve still dominated the 4th.

    The refs aren't the reason for our deficit but they sure haven't helped. The bigger team (which is always our opponent) has constantly knocked our guys down and not heard a whistle. Not cool but we haven't made it close enough to matter.

    Likely won't every find out with this version of the Blazers. Too small and not enough defense. It's been that way for years.

    At least the Blazers don't have to play these aholes again this season.
