    Either get a seed sixth or better, or head into the lottery. I'd rather take what chances there are at moving up into the Top 3 of the Draft than 4-5 games against the Warriors or Spurs. This draft class is supposed to be filled to top talent and deep, so there could be a bright side to this disappointing season, especially considering Neil excels at the Draft.

    I'm not as invested in this roster at this point as I thought I'd be early on...I feel like the team hasn't found an identity yet

    Was traveling during this game but I just skimmed through it and I feel good about it. Lots of positives. Amina made some good plays on both sides of the court. The second half was our best defensive stand of the season. When we get Turner back, we're ready to roll. Am I missing anything?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    No, I think you summed it up--this was a game of positives, lots of moral victories and the Blazers are strong favorites for NBA moral champions.

    The problem is, once you win the moral championship, how do you build on that? And if you have nothing to build on, was it really a moral victory?

    It has to be more like this:

    HCP was wrong about this, like he's been wrong about so much over the years. Yet keeps getting to make posts. Things will never change folks. SAD!

    That is interesting, now that you mention it. We'll probably never know the whole truth.
