    Does anyone have any thoughts regarding this comment? Is there any organization worse off than us right now? (The Nets don't count, they're the Nets)

    I think somebody would want Meyers. Crabbe might be harder but who knows. Plus we have those two picks

    I mean I can't really think of one. I don't think the Heat are that great off but I don't know their draft pick situation or cap space.

    As hard as I try to get invested in this roster...it just lacks identity...I'm really missing the old core these days

    Not only do dame and cj not help but our bigs have been an issue. Plumlee just isn't a center, we are always undersized. Wish whiteside would of came here.

    I missed the game. From the comments I can't tell if they won. Any help would be appreciated.

    actually it was a great game until the last 4 minutes...down 4 and go to Plumlee and Aminu for scoring.....pretty soon down 7 and fouling them every possession until we lost

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    They won as much as they usually do. If that helps.

    Michael Holton and dipshit over here let's be yes men and talk about how great the blazers did even though they always lose. Wow look at this play by cj, amazing we didn't win though.

    Jesus Christ I can't listen to these guys sugarcoat anything. Dude was right, blazers control everything and it's annoying. Stop acting like shits gonna get better with this team.

    I don't think I can bear the post game interviews today though....I can probably recite them without hearing them.."they made some shots...they're a pretty good team, we had some good looks, it's frustrating to let one go...etc....

    We don't have any players that amount to Steven Adams, oladipo, Roberson, etc. when it comes to defense. This right here. Westbrook went about 50 percent taking 35 shots. He's able to do that and win because of the surrounding cast. They all can play defense and rebound and provide a little offense but more so defense. We have one or two players that can provide that kind of defense

    It's depressing because I don't know where this team goes from here. Dame and cj are fine but the surrounding players are overpaid and who knows what we could even get for them. Jazz moved up. Bucks are super bright with Giannis leading them. Same with Timberwolves but still wonder how zach Lavine will be post torn acl. There is no clear plan and it's obvious this isn't how Neil and them planned on this going. With those other teams mentioned you know they will get better. With Portland the future isn't clear and that's worrying

    The part I am questioning (which was in bold) was the no heart. If we had no heart we would have been blown out by 15+ in the first half and gone down hill from there.

    We are stuck with CJ and Dame? All those teams you listed would trade for them in a heartbeat. You think the Laker's future looks bright? Why because they will get another good lottery pick? At this rate....so will we. Right now the laker roster is not better than ours. Ingram will be decent. Who else on that team would you trade our "black holes" for?

    Memphis. They're a lot older than us with big contracts given to Parsons and Conley, and they're not close to contention.
