    You lose to a team decimated by injuries (The Warriors) and get out-hustled, out-worked and embarrassed by a rookie who was drafted in the second round.

    You lose to a 4-11 team team (the Cavaliers) on a six-game losing streak who are missing their best player.

    You get burned on defense every game but can’t seem to do anything about it.

    You make other team’s ordinary players look like superstars.

    You don’t even know the meaning of the term “home court advantage.”

    You can never hold a fourth-quarter lead.

    What else? Feel free to add to this list.

    So.... Is it Dame Time now if he starts missing shots? Because that would really help the team.

    Just have to make the right choice.

    Jordon was the better player
    Durant was the better player

    Not rocket science for GM's.

    I think the Blazers are the worst team in the NBA right now. I mean some might laugh, but Show me a guaranteed win. You can’t

    To be fair, Tristan Thompson is their best player. The Cavs are only 1.5 games out of the playoffs and Thompson may actually be an All Star this year.

    The small glimpse we had of health Oden he was pretty freaking good for like a month. If the health flags were clear they should have taken Durant, but GO was a good / great player when healthy, bowie’s legs were torn up in college that was just a bad pick.

    Bowie actually produced though and he ultimately got us Buck Williams and 2 trips to the NBA Finals.

    Its a fair point, but his health issues were already there before the draft. Which AFAIK there were maybe some ref flags with Oden but he hadnt had major issues before the draft.

    How about just being in 26th place in the league out of 30 teams.
    Tank is a viable option at this point. At least people are not being chastised about it any longer.
