    It's no longer fun rooting for this team and Nurk won't make a difference. Maybe a trade would but at this point, we can't afford to trade Whiteside. He's been our second best player. This sucks. I'm done.

    Can’t believe that I could barely hear the boos tonight. Yeah injuries and all but you keep telling us we have one of the best backcourts in the league. Wtf.

    It’s sickening that this team is stealing fans money and no one is held accountable.

    Definitely lack of discipline. Doesn't seem like we have coaches. It's like the players run everything.

    Even when you juxtapose unrealistic expectations, no.

    Well, if the Knicks give me free tickets to the game on Wednesday, I'll go to that but I'm becoming less interested in driving to DC on Friday.

    They (blazers) got no dogg..
    Dame cares and tries, but he aint a dogg..
    Little will be..Zach thinks he is...
    But other teams have guys who "i wouldn't want to meet in an alley" whereas the Blazers have guys who are out selling girl scout cookies.
    No dogg....

    You know, though. The first few games, it seemed like he got it, that he was a role player and accepted it.

    Once it became apparent this team wasn't a playoff threat, it was like he was just going to take his paycheck.

    We're sub .500 at home with our 3 best players healthy for most of the season.

    I will continue support this team but I will watching the young guys to see how they progress through out the season and I thought both Simons and Trent had solid games. But until Stotts and his coaching staff figure out a different type of system on defense this will be a long season.

    Usually if Dame comes out on fire, we win. Not sure how we blew it tonight.

    The team plays zero defense. Until that is addressed this team, as constructed, will not win many games. They have no identity whatsoever; are they an offensive team (lack of ball movement and style of play suggests no)? Defensive? Somewhere in between? Stotts’ flaws have been masked by a healthy roster for the past few years - this is the first year he’s faced some adversity and he’s showing his true colours as a below average NBA coach. Time to go, IMO.
