    It's been a joy to watch Dame in Shaes ear all season long at the RG.

    Can't throw a rock into the ocean?

    Dude is shooting 39% from 3.

    Currently leads the team in steals (almost 2 a game) and 2nd in blocks.

    It's like you don't have any idea what you're talking about.

    I kinda wonder why they have Mark Mason still do the "it's 6th man time" at the start of the 4th quarter.

    There are definitely times when it feels that the only way things will get better is if they magically get the #1 pick.

    I just don't think they will be able to make any major trades that will change the course of the franchise going forward, and I'm not sure (outside of #1, or at worst/best, a top 3 pick) anyone in the draft will make things better.

    That's not to say that there aren't potential stars in the top 7 picks, just that there are really only 3 that are positions of need (and one of them has a legal issue to be concerned about, and the other one isn't exactly the position of need, as much as he could potentially be a SF).

    They'll still be small and unbalanced.

    This is one reason why I can totally understand why the tanking is frustrating. But really, the alternative (based in reality) just isn't worth it. Making the playoffs this year would be almost the worst thing possible because they lose the pick. Even if losing the pick opens up future picks to be traded, I'm not so sure that they'll be able to combine their assets into a player that will make a difference.

    This is a real nail-biter.

    Wise timeout by NOLA who knew the Blazers were going on a 30 pt run.*

    Wow! Just think about the fact that these last two teams have worse records than all of the other teams we play the rest of this season besides the Spurs. There are going to be some even uglier games than this one.

    It stinks, but that is the way the NBA is, so you play the 'game'. If you can get to a top-5 and increase your chance to get a #1 and a Top-4, at this point, you do it. It is the best chance this franchise has of getting better anytime soon.

    It won't be long.....

    i know. but we are not building any good habits. it feels like shaedon is not getting any coaching out there at all.

    losing is fine. we are just rolling over and dying.
