    3-game skid. No matter what, we have to right the ship here (with or without Nurk).

    This is probably a 'must win'. If they lose 6 out of 8 right before playing the Nuggs and then heading out on the road, this could get ugly in a hurry.

    I picked Meyers to start just because I'm afraid if Collins starts, he could foul out in the 1st quarter.

    Lose this one, lose to Denver, then head out on the road. We should start a pool on what date the Blazers fall below .500. If the team was going to rally and get back on track, it would have been tonight.

    BTW, is there any actual news on Nurk, or is the team just having fun F'ning with us?

    PS: I pick Dec 12th.

    If they lose, fire Stotts.

    It’ll never happen, but I want that out in the universe.

    We need this win badly. I think we'll start hitting our threes again and start rolling from there.

    If Nurk can't go it'll be based on matchups imo.
    Against Vucevic Nards should get the nod.

    I would amend that to Stotts and Olshey. With ownership in limbo, why do we even need a GM? There won't be any trades or meaningful FA signings, and the scouts can handle the draft.

    Nah, Vucevic can hit 3s and actually do a little bit off the dribble.

    No Nurk and Vucevic will destroy us. Stotts will probably start Nards and Put Aminu on Vucevic because that makes so much sense.

    After that Warriors loss, I find it really hard to stay up all night watching this team. I would rather if we can lose 10 straight and fire Stotts and make some trades than watching same old

    LMFAO, @TorturedBlazerFan this stupid shit is exactly what I was talking about the other day.

    @Labinot41 You can't just decide to tank and lose games. Please explain how we would do that, especially to the point where we'd be worse than the Cavs, Hawks, and Suns to get Zion?

    Bro it was just a joke. Do not take everything so seriously. I know we will not tank.
