    How could they enter a season with this bench and then trade bayless???? To me thats a white flag being sent up early in year. They must have known how bad this bench was gonna be. I mean, you look at almost every team in this league and they are likely better then our bench. And dont say they were counting on oden... he doesnt play PG, SG or SF. All those spots off the bench are dreadful. Does anyone remember the last time Rudy scored something other then a three or layup? HES FUCKING HORRIBLE. All he does is run around and take a bad shot in air. This team needs a Jason Richardson type off the bench in THE WORST WAY. What a pleasure it was watching Hill and Neal move around WITH SPEED and make and take great shots. Watching them compared to Rudy is like watching a B-horror movie from the 80s (Rudy) to Avatar(neal and hill).

    Im just starting to wonder if Cho and company knew we were dead this season and thats why they didnt improve the bench instead going with d league type talent instead. mills and aarmon johnson do not belong in the nba. I cant take our bench anymore. Its like if the starters suck... we are done. Thanks cho... cause theres no way anyone is gonna tell me that they didnt see this coming. For everyone who strokes KP... LOOK AT OUR DRAFTS AS OF LATE. H O R R I B L E!

    quite frankly its puzzling. the blazers all summer and al through pre season said the goal was 2nd round of playoffs. then they give us this GARBAGE BENCH. So im having a hard time putting the 2 together. Doesnt make sense. Am i wrong here?

    Heres a challenge to the entire board.... give me 5 benches in the NBA worse then the Blazers.....

    He'll say anything, including contradictory things, to push buttons. Recognize his game and tune him out, if he bugs you.

    Cho & Co. are still evaluating this roster. No need to rush.

    what the hell do they need to evaluate????? the bench is pretty clear to see even to casual fans

    PG - garbage

    SG - euro garbage

    SF - sell stock now

    PF - big east garbage

    C - only guy i would keep

    Deep, yet concise. You could start a scouting service and sell this advice.

    Our bench now includes Przybilla. We're thin at forward because we gave away Juwan Howard, and at PG because we gave away Sergio.

    So Now Bayless is a difference maker, and before according to you, we needed to get rid of him?

    Is he better than those two right now. Yes. Was his style of play as a PG going to solve our bench problems? To the extent that we were (as you put) giving up? According to you Bayless was crap. You can't have it both ways.

    So your theory is that Cho knew we were going to be bad, so he decided to make us worse?
