I'm sorry, but I have zero confidence in this team to win any game this season with Stotts as our coach. I haven't given up on the team, but I'm long done with Stotts.

This is gonna be a loss. Denver should know how to beat us: defend the pick and roll, and force the only two decent shooters on this team to beat you. And if that doesn't work, double team Dame.

Stotts has NO answer for that.

This is gonna be a loss. And shit is REALLY gonna come unglued. I would anticipate Nurk pouting on the bench, or outright revolting. And we should all be behind him if he does.

That tattoo on Wilson Chandlers neck is freaky.

Last year Nurk tore up Jokic and you know he is going to be pissed/fired up for this game after tonight.

This. The only way it would be worse is if LA or Phoenix had beaten us as well. And the way they played their last games with us, they just might next time.

As long as Stotts is coach.
 
I really believe the NBA has a problem on its hands.
The Nets 'Game' that I just watched was just horrific basketball. So undisciplined & uninspired.

Ever since that 'Curry lays down' All-Star Clown-a-Thon - it seems every game I tune in to watch is just filled with lack-luster play.
It really seems like a lot of players are playing at 60-70% and just don't give a shit. They know they're getting paid either way - and its all just a big fraternity. No rivalries - play moderately hard up to a limited extent to avoid injuries.

Guaranteed contracts is, slow boil, ruining the NBA.

You might have a point. Everybody knows that unless you're GS, Houston, or SA, you've got zero chance at a championship. So people have lost their passion for playing. And it's even worse if you're a small-market team like ours, because NOBODY is going to pay attention to you or give you the proper respect if you go out there and bust your ass.

So yeah....be happy you've got millions and just go through the motions.

You just might have a point.

And yeah....fuck Steph Curry and his pube face. I hate that motherfucker more than any other player in this league.

This horribly lackluster, "uninspired and undisciplined" play the Blazers have been showing of late is not only disappointing but very disturbing. Dame is already in a slump he doesn't look to be coming out of. CJ is inconsistent to say the least. Harkless has yet to show up. Turner has been a mess. Aminu still insists on dribbling into the lane( his 3 is a bit more consistent) Davis was supposed to be back to his old self...nope. Pat was supposed to step up to replace Crabbe. I don't know why he isn't playing baseball. Napier has been playing well but Stotts won't play him much. Nurk has gotten better, but hes flopping and acting like a bitch instead being the beast he should be. He's driving into the lane at high speed out of control. His jumper is looking good, but Stotts' system is forcing him out of his natutal style. The rooks have shown promise but Stotts barely plays them. Meyers is a sack of dicks. Vonleh is playing well now that he is back from injury, but Stotts keeps playing him irregulary.
I have lost all faith in this team. I have lost all my patience with the so called coach. I'm still going to root for them, but I find it hard to believe in them when they can't beat the nets at home. It is a sad fucking day to be a blazer.

I actually think we win this game, and maybe even convincingly. We buried them last year by attacking Jokic in the PnR and I'm not seeing them having an answer. Jokic is too important for their offense, and they can't swap Millsap onto Nurk. I won't be surprised if Lillard or Nurk go off.

Hope we can pull out the win!
 
My hope is it's still early in the season and we can somehow improve the offense. But I have to say that I have my concerns the Blazers are going into a tailspin they might not come out of. This team needs to open up a new well spring of offense. We can't just expect Dame, CJ and Nurk to carry us. And I have to believe that with the addition of a player of two that might be possible. Imagine if we'd have added a wing like Dillon Brooks who had given you 11-15 points a night and can play decent defense? Why we drafted two PFs for Stotts not to play enough or not at all.... I have no idea. My guess is the Blazers are going to get sick of playing catchup if they aren't already.

Where has Lillard been these last 2 games?

Nobody says shit about this guy when he’s a no show
 
Does anyone know how bad Dames hand injury is. Apparently he hurt it vs the nets. Great excuse.
