    Umm no it wasn't his first true dud. He had 8 points vs Clippers and had no impact. He was decent tonight with 19/5/4. You're just spoiled by his 38 point games.

    Take away Crabbe's back to back garbage time 3s and he was very below average. Davis was the only one who showed more than one or two flashes. Harkless, Dame, Plumlee, and Leonard were awful. CJ was ok. Do we even know if Ezeli will suit up for us? I mean... it's like any time a decent center comes to Portland his knees turn to ash.

    3 bad blowout losses in 12 games. With such high expectations, Terry would be on the hotseat if he didn't sign that extension.

    It's not just the 3 blow out losses, tho those say a lot..its the fact that they've looked mediocre (at best) in 12 games this year.

    The win @ MEM was good. I feel like we led that one from start to finish.

    There have been flashes within games as well.

    I don't get why we're having so much trouble rebounding. It's like the exact same roster as last year.

    I will say, as someone who is actually frustrated by turner (but was having fun being the devil's advocate) ... his last two games have been much better. So, there's at least a dash of promise that he can come around.

    I would say last game more than this game. I'm not trying to hate turner at all. I was one of the only positive people about it but we are 12 games in we gotta start seeing something. It's tough. I don't know what to think with him

    I see it in him... it really is the intangables... plus, I've seen better care of the ball... the only thing I will say is he's looking for his shot a little too much and taking touches away from Crabbe... other than that, I've liked him the last two games.

    We could of paid henderson way less to come back here and he would be playing a lot better than some of these guys

    Why is it bad that we are beating bad teams? That is a GOOD thing.

    The way this team is playing reminds me of the 11-12 team. No cohesiveness and not team first mentality.
