    Oh look it's coach. No it's not. The spacing Crabbe provided hasn't been replaced and it allows teams to slide under Nurk and take away the pick and roll, leaving us with ISO ball. Nobody would slide under with Crabbe in the corner.

    Don’t be shocked. We are not good. Ppl need to stop getting their hopes up.. if anything wish for more losses so we can move on and rebuild

    I’d rather wish my Luck on a generational superstar in the lotter than this shit

    You want a real in my feelings post? Ok.

    I love the Portland Trail Blazers, I've loved them a good majority of my life. That said the past two seasons have really hurt me, the franchise that I love took away the voices of the Blazers in the Mikes, paid a bunch of mediocre players large salaries to surround what may be the most talented Blazer ever... I feel no connection to this team anymore... I mean I care but it doesn't feel like the Blazers anymore... it feels like a fucking lifeless shill for the masses. I hope there are changes made not only on the court, but off the court. I won't hold my breath though.

    The 70-something booster club woman that sits in my row just came over and said she thinks we need to fire Stotts. It's that clear.

    Stotts has his team playing at 90mph. Trouble is, the other team plays at 65mph, which is the talent level of all NBA teams.

    I better translate that. In other words,

    All our shots are high level of difficulty because we move too fast, so we miss, while they make.

    We already f-ed that one up.

    We are stuck with these garbage contracts until 2020/2021.

    Teams make that rotation regardless of who's in the corner. It's Nurk's job to show patience and make the proper read out of that.

    Plumlee's short roll decision making was miles better than what we're seeing from Nurk this year.

    I haven’t called for Collins to play this season yet. But tonight he absolutely should play if only to send a message to the veterans. It’s not about Collins it’s about garbage effort.

    THIS!

    I also think it's telling that the broadcasters notice obvious problems about us. That's on Stotts not adjusting.

    I hope Paul Allen is there tonight. And I hope it fucking hurts, Paul.

    I can get behind this, best case scenario he is a boost of energy, worst case he pisses off guys ahead of him and pushes their asses to play better.

    I’m in favor of taking a flamethrower to these butt-ugly uniforms after this game.
