    Our interior defense has been bad except for Zach, theres mental errors all over the place, bad communication. The defense is not good.
    Part of it is the fouls, it feels like the NBA is really pushing teams away from even being able to play defense, you’re allowed to waive at them while they shoot but anything else and they’ll probably call a foul.

    Barkley just said: "The Blazers got it all!"

    He predicts the Blazers to finish above the Pelicans this season.

    For the record a win is a win and the Blazers have a good record and Im happy with that but overall the emphasis on offense in officiating is getting old already.

    CJ had 8 fucking points! You've got to be kidding me. We are paying him 25 million dollars and hasn't put up a steller performance all season.

    Yeah Stotts seemed to be pissed that Meyers didn't shoot a 3 and instead put the ball on the floor and drove. I guess that is why Swanigan, Collins and Nurk shot it every time they touched it from 25 feet out. It worked tonight but I don't like it.

    Its just the NBA now, you shoot 3’s or get free throws, thats basically what games feel like.

    He deserves all the shit he gets. Sick of hearing anyone criticizing him being labeled a hater. At 25m per he’s held to a different standard than anybody else on the team outside of Lillard. That’s how it works.

    How can you score 132, outrebound your opponent, and hold your opponent to 22 in 4th quarter but think you didn’t play well?? Pay attention. It was a great win.

    Albatross of a contract on this team....yet I believe he would be much better somewhere else where it was his team to run.

    And in the last 5 games he is shooting 75% from deep. He is slowly getting better each game. He had some mistakes on D but the block sure looked nice.
