    I voted Moe will come around only because I desperately hope it will happen; otherwise it will be a tough season.

    I think teams adjusted. It seems to me he was most successful when he brought the ball up court very quickly and posted up or passed out to an open 3 shooter. Teams were used to playing laid back while the Blazers would bring the ball up court very slowly, so this worked for awhile. Now they have caught on and have cut that part of his game off. And he doesn't really have much else.

    I swear if Terry doesn't put in Layman at least with the backups this game I am going to kick in the TV. We got four fucking points from Harkless and Turner. That's an absolute garbage performance by any definition. Layman probably leaves this offseason and joins Vonleh on the Knicks.

    (Excuse ne while I go get some more bleach.)

    Right? Speak all you want. I'll listen, or not, all I want, LOL.

    Also, unless Denny is a tool of the United States Government (hmm...) nothing that happens here has anything to do with the First Amendment.

    I can't believe I'm actually defending Meyers this year to my friends. I want him to posterize LA today and mug to the camera.

    I was even starting to like ET early on this year, but clearly something happened to both him and the rest of the team, and they're back to uninspiring basketball.

    Want to play Baldwin? Give a chance to Trent or Simons? Put Layman back into the rotation? Now is the time to do it.

    Can’t wait to see CJ back with the second unit instead.

    I have zero expectations for a win. But, as always....here I am.

    Go Blazers.

    I do that a bit also. This team needs Mo to turn it around and fast. I always hope for the best in players.

    Here's a table I put together comparing opponent shooting and shot quality during our early hot start and the recent slide

    Stats per nba.com/stats



    Blazers definitely struggling, but a large part of both of these stretches can be attributed to some lucky opponent shooting.

    Basically, we've seen the best (and most lucky) and the worst (and most unlucky) stretches that we'll probably see all season.

    Wow. David Bertans is the most Irish-looking mofo I've seen since Conan O'Brien.

    Without ET Curry can play a few more minutes as back up pt guard and Stauskas can get the rest at the 3. It will work well and Stotts will ignore it.
