    Their management sucks

    We have Olshey who we all know is great at drafting but sucks at free agency

    So let's use his strength

    We are what we are. And we ain't GS. We're a nice little team right now. I thought tonight was a great test for us. Where we're at. We would have been blown out a month ago. That's improvement. All I'm saying.

    Yea but then what? Ok we improve from dead last defensively to middle of the pack. Basically the same ranking as last year.

    8th seed? 7th seed? Competitive 1st round is the goal again?

    Fuck that shit either be really good or suck so we can get more assets (lottery pick) to package with somebody else

    I don't know man. I've always subscribed to the philosophy of trying to win every game, period. Different philosophies I suppose. At this point I just need to see progress. For all our players. Byproduct would be increasing their value, which is great no matter what.

    So no trades then? This kinda shit happens every year. The Blazers go on a winning streak near trade deadline and fans start saying no trades!

    Nothing builds a losing culture more than trying to lose. I don't understand what the difference between the 12th and 19th picks are (We don't lose ours this year). Actively try to lose in order the draft 7-10 spots higher in a deep draft is the dumbest idea ever.

    Improving increases the value of our assets. I'm fine with trading

    I think we need to start Vonleh - Ed Davis is a chump. There's no way Vonleh could play any worse than Davis has, and he'd at least provide theoretical spacing.

    He means we outscored them in that quarter every quarter but one, which is true.

    We have somehow improved to where a 10 point loss to the Bucks is improvement? BS. This team continues to underperform.

    Tunchi, what will you pay not to be banned?

    Lets see if I can turn this into a bidding war with @BonesJones so I can get a little extra Christmas cash.

    It does seem like you're only here to piss people off.
