    I don't know. Got us 5 seed two years ago. I don't see any West team winning 60 games this year. We'll see.

    It's hard to use prior years to evaluate current trends when it comes to basketball. Way too many variables.

    I said 6 seed in the predictions... I fear I may have been too high.

    I think that went over your head. Portland ranks dead last in the nba right now in strength of schedule.

    Someone send your girlfriend to get Stotts' signature and then have her post on Facebook that he grabbed her somewhere

    He's assuming fans complaining Stotts don't know what they're talking about. That's pretty lame if you ask me.

    Eh. No reason to be a victim about it, to be frank.

    It's not, but he said "Anyone who has anything to say..."

    I mean, you and I both agree on what he's saying, I'm just more annoyed by it than you.

    I love Dame but his comment is pure unadulterated bullshit. The games against the Nets and Kings should not have been close so you can throw his late game execution theory out the window. They were listless in both games and Dame, as the captain, has to own it and take accountability for the lack of effort. Stotts is just a clueless fucking idiot. I gave up on him years ago.

    Totally agree.

    Blazers are not that good and their record reflects that on the easiest stretch of the season.

    It’s just time for a new direction. I hope we play Collins more. I’m happy Swanigan is starting that’ll be good for his development.

    Lillard just needs to worry about being better

    I thought it was dumb too. How stupid does he think we are? Us mere mortals don't understand what it takes to win a close game? Umm....making a shot rather than bricking it or turning it over?

    THIS. Entirely this. As much as I hate Tater Totts (not the food - I LOVE the food!), I would hate it even more if Dame said anything negative in the press. Dame is saying exactly what he's suppose to be saying. I don't agree with it, and I'm not even sure that Dame believes it. But he's playing the game the way it's suppose to be played.

    Yes, what a dumb comment by Lillard.

    He gets blasted on social media, people bitch to him about Stotts on social media, why does he even bother responding to fans?

    He should just delete his twitter account like LaMucus Aldridge does when he has a bad game.

    Instead he says the loss is on him instead of blaming someone else?!?

    Yes, very dumb.

    LOLZ.

    Sounds like he reads the forum. Which one of you is Dame?
