    Very true. We suck and it shows in just about every facet of the game.

    What makes you think he would have re-signed here? He tried to leave once.

    People always bring that up and it's so ridiculous. That was pressure on his agent and nic has even said that. He loved Portland. Don't know if you couldn't tell after he left and actually wrote a meaningful message to the fans unlike a guy by the name of LA. Stop that nonsense.

    Why is it ridiculous? LMA left. He sent a meaningful message to the fans too. He even flew a fan to Texas to have dinner with him.

    Dame isn't a great leader but I can't stand the bullshit interviews at this point. "We tried hard, the effort is there". No, the effort isn't there. It's obvious. Everybody sees it. I find it hard to believe dame believes this. What kind of coddling does stotts do in the locker room. "You guys tried hard, just keep shooting threes, they will go in and we will win.".

    What. The. Fuck. Is. Going. On

    I actually think they are trying hard, they just aren't talented enough to compete in the NBA on a nighty basis. This isn't an effort issue, it's a roster issue.

    Man - this season Tater Totts is giving McMuffin a run for his money. At least the Muffin preached "scrap & hustle". Oh, and "knocking down shots" - can't forget to knock down those shots!
