    Post game broadcasters praising Chief's defense tonight...he was on Drummond and Griffin most of the game.....doing the dirty work and getting hated on here all night....defense just doesn't get respect....Zach Collins was terrible but escapes the wrath of Chief haters

    Team meeting time. The focus is not there. I see Dame night in, and night out, try to get his teammates good looks, and they brick shot after shot, after shot. Their focus isn't there, and the team doesn't look like they're having fun. Detroit played so loose tonight. I know the Blazers suffered a tough loss yesterday, but I didn't see this effort coming. Dame looked pissed, but the rest looked like Gee wiz, oh well.

    He is definitely cowardly... there is no other way way out of this mediocrity than to put assets on the table to get a better balance of talent... build an actual TEAM instead of two ISO guards taking half the shots. So what if the player we get back is slightly lesser player... fit and style of play matter... trading CJ needs to at least be explored. This team is going nowhere fast

    I like defense....not that hard to understand...CJ and Collins were really bad on both sides of the ball but Chief gets the hate

    Team meetings have historically solved nothing. This squad needs a shake up in the form of a trade.

    I appreciate his defense but his shooting has taken a bit of a hit.

    Oh...You mean the guy who should be a G League player but gets time on the Blazers Roster because the Blazers don't have another 2 guard over 6'4" who can come off the bench?! Yeah...that guy sucks!

    By the way yesterday chief got shitted on by horford, but then again he was played at the pf spot which I still think is a bad move.

    Collins and CJ had way worse shooting percentages tonight...Collins at one point was 1 for 9 while Chief was 3 for 9

    It's just that when Chief dribbles bad things happen and today he dribbled way way too much. So offensively Chief was a huge liability even if he did play well defensively.

    Don't forget his rebounding. Or the 9 points (his average) that he scored.

    Well, they had that guy but they sent him East.
