    Well our offense last 3 game haven't reached the team average in scoring. I already our defense went long time now the offense has gone south too.

    At least we had a higher assist rate than Milwaukee!

    It's been established by some on here that assists determine good offense. That the Bucks coach is an offensive genius. Therefore, our offense is amazing, right?

    That's true, but i would like to give him credit for setting up other guys on his last three possessions.

    Is it bad when not one of our bench players would even be able to crack the Bucks bench rotation?

    It good to see the young play and looks like Hoard might decent with little experience.

    I’m calling bullshit on this one. I’ve met Neil Olshey. Just a simple very short conversation but in no way does he “Disdain” fans. He was extremely nice and easy going. He loves his kids also. This post is pretty far from reality.

    You should have asked your visitors to stay a little longer. :)

    Yeah, I’m sure he loves the fans that go up to him and kiss his ass... I highly doubt you would get a friendly reaction if you questioned any of his moves... I saw his exit interview and k ow what I saw and heard from him... he definitely hates the fans

    Well maybe if you didn't let you 100 level tickets go you could have gone up and talked to him also like a bunch of people do at games he attends.

    Sure. The 10th pick or so in a crappy draft year is exactly what we should be looking for to build on for next season.

    You don't believe in ball movement and like ISO ball. OK, we get it!

    half way thru the season and OKC is 6.5 games ahead of the Blazers. I wasn't very optimistic about this season after seeing the roster, but I would have never expected the Thunder to have that kind of lead on Portland

    all OKC has to do to hit 45 wins is go 23-20 the rest of the way. For Portland to hit 45 wins they'd have to go 29-13 the rest of the way. That would be Portland matching in the 2nd half of the season what the Clippers have done in the 1st half of the season. That would be a .690 winning percentage when the Blazers had a .646 winning percentage last season.

    there are 16 games till the all-star break, and 11 of the games are against teams with winning record...ugh. Maybe more relevant, there are 11 games till the trade deadline and 9 are against teams with winning records. 19-32 at the trade deadline? 20-36 at the all-star break?

    Remember when most of us were so excited at getting Little? A lotto talent that late in the 1st.

    At this point I don't even care whether Little was over-rated or if Stotts is just clueless. Can anything go right for the Blazers? My frustration and disgust have reached the boiling point! :hairout:
