    It’s not about style points, it’s that management has an unwarranted confidence in this roster... 1/4 into the season and they are who we thought they were... a mediocre team with a top 5 payroll... They win just enough to keep Neil’s delusions alive... Blzers fans deserve better

    Stotts when asked about the late-game free throw shooting: "Shit happens."

    its Cool how CJ turns into Shaq at the free throw line late in games. And that’s not even hyperbole.

    Blazers have a lot of getting better to do if they want to make it out of the first round. Can't get around that. The defense still looked bad at times, they were sloppy. At this point it's good to see a win, and every single team in the NBA will look different come March and April. They just need to learn from this stretch, get better and move on.
    I get this win wasn't pretty but I'd rather an ugly win, than another loss. I really believe those people calling for OPJr. or a player like that are on the right track we desperately need a consistent starting talent at one of the forward positions. Aminu, Layman, ET (I guess he's a SF...?), Moe all so up and down with deficiencies in there games. Just need one guy who can come in and be your 16 and 5-7ish guy who plays good d and the whole roster would work itself out better.

    "Blazer fans deserve better."

    I used to say that - but I finally faced up to the fact that we don't mean shit to anybody except possibly each other.

    CJ missed a pair

    Dame missed 2 of 4

    Turner missed 2

    0.9 added Orlando misses game tying three...Blazers win

    Well that was a complete train wreck of a win. Not really quite sure how to feel after that one, except I do know that this is better than how I felt leaving the Moda Center on Sunday.

    After a win, the first thought coming to mind should not be how ugly the Denver game is going to be. It saddens me just how little emotion I have for the team right now.

    Denver hasnt been much different than the Blazers. Really dominant stretches and really pathetic stretches.

    Orlando was also throwing the ball away left and right.

    Sometimes getting out of a funk ain't easy. Blazers did enough to get it done. I think they will play a lot more loose against the Nuggets. That will be a matchup between the two YOUNGEST teams in the league. These are up and coming teams. Go Blazers!!

    Im really Happy Dame made 10 swish3s and Franchise Record. But when i was reading this Game Thread 90% i thought we were loosing this Game. And that's not a good a sign after 2 days Rest against a non playoff Team on a road Trip playing their 3rd Game on 4 nights (And missing their best Player). This Game should have never been close.
