    I don't think we will either. December schedule was supposed to get us back to .500. Now we go on road trip to kill our hopes.

    Hassan has been very good this year but Nurk was better last year.

    I'm very disappointed in Moses Brown. I think we should go ahead and trade him for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

    Just thought I'd help you out. Some people read other peoples statements and actually believe them, even though they're only venting.

    Golden State won for years with basically one functional big guy on the roster. Even before KD, and I don't know if you could really count him as a big.

    They also have a player in Harden who gets fouled and goes to the line at a historic rate, not two 6’3” guards.

    Tonight? Whiteside WAY over Baynes.
    CJ is supposed to be a near all-star so he should at least be a wash with Booker.
    As bad as Melo was, he is better than Saric.
    Oubre toasted Baze.

    Then you were helping them out, not me.

    Seriously pedantic, but whatever floats your boat, I guess.

    I agree...and...this is where Dame needs to improve....when you actually believe the sugar you're shoveling, nobody takes gets better.

    Dame, CJ, Whiteside, Melo all healthy... 3 of them are all star caliber and people are using injuries to excuse being 6 games under .500 near mid season... when will someone be held accountable??

    I've been pretty negative about this year's team so far, starting with the summer they had. Other than the trade for Whiteside, I didn't like anything that happened in July. And nothing I had seen as the season progressed made me change my mind

    but even then....yikes. I had really been thinking the Blazers would be 17-17 after tonight; but maybe 18-16 and definitely 16-18 at worst. But for chrissakes...14-20...really?? Holy shit. This isn't just injuries....there's a lot of monkey wrenches clanking around in the Blazer machine right now

    and I agree with people who have noticed how much more motion, fluidity, and purpose there was to the Phoenix offense. The Blazer offense looked great when they were 9-13 from three....after that, nope. As people have said, no accountability; no changes; no progress. suckage squared
