    Watching this team play I know we're going to be much better at tanking next season.

    a good scoot game is worth it.

    id rather he get some positive reps rather than place our hopes on the trash that's in this draft.

    Never play to lose, if you lose then lose organically and live with the results..these rookies aren't playing for the next rookie to take their job. Winning is part of development and losing is a really bad habit and leads to a bad culture. I'm glad they finally won a fucking game....didn't turn this one off. That's what I tune in for, not intentionally losing.

    We’re teaching Charlotte a lesson now before it’s too late next season

    These ‘behind the blazers’ shows they give after blazer games on root sports are kind of nauseating

    We will not be a tanking team next year, it's playoffs here we come.

    the radio blurbed out the updated cue card >"Cronin might move the pick"< hinting towards major upgrades, the rebuild is finished.

    If Scoot is capable of that game then why is it so important that he had it tonight??? Especially with so many of his assists coming from Deandre field goals? Scoot is what scoot is. He could have had big games against the Celtics, Pelicans, Warriors, Rockets or Kings but you go ahead and be really happy with him having a good game against a team that decreases our chances in the lotto.

    I think most people understand the probability of Scoot having a good game against an 18 win team trying to lose is much higher than a 50 win team fighting for playoff position.

    Blazers are -88 on this 7 game road trip. As long as they don't lose the next 2 games by 50+, it will be an improvement over the last 7 game road trip (-193)

    I think moving one of the firsts makes sense, moving both I’d need to be sold on the future upside of the return package…

    I wouldn’t worry about that ‘they want to be Houston’ line though.

    I'm not one to say, "bad idea, keep tanking.". Blazers last 3 seasons have been [delete entry]. If Portland has legit NBA players lined up, and they take a major leap forward, that should be good news.
