    Please. Just stop. The Blazers are out Four starters right now. Nurk would be starting. They have 9 players available. Of those 6 are not starting quality at all and are questionable rotation players. This is a bad injury year. Are there other teams dealing with injuries? Yes. Have some done better that the Blazers? Yes. Have some done worse? Yes.
    Bottom line the injuries are real. The team is decimated by injuries without question.

    LOL at Stotts playing a zone when they're killing us from 3. Clown.

    Do they have a starting-level C or not?

    Lillard has been absolutely horrible on some key plays. He needs to get his head out of his ass.

    Yeah. I don’t understand the zone when we are getting killed from three by the number one offensive team in the league.

    That’s why I hate using injuries as an excuse... you are telling me Finney-Smith, Howard, and Kleber are better than CJ, Melo, and Whiteside?! We have a terrible coach!

    Lamar Hurd even trying to figure out a nice way to say how dumb it is to play a zone against this team.

    Stotts could hedge pick n rolls, but nah, he goes to a zone against a team killing us from 3. What a genius.

    Good for them. They are young. I doubt they’ll win more than 34 games. Which won’t be enough.

    It doesn't matter if we do play it right... The weaknesses of a zone are:
    1.) It gives up open 3s
    2.) It gives up driving lanes if the offense moves the ball
    3.) It gives up offensive rebounds
    4.) In the NBA, it's easy to pick up defensive 3 second calls

    Please tell me how that makes any sense to run in this game.

    There should be a injured team exception.

    I'd take Dallas' three conidering they would have a one man advantage. Most NBA players should be able to win 3 on 2.

    I don't understand Mario guarding Luka from the side when he not getting help. To me useless playing D like that.

    But everything that happened from warmups to starting lineups and after the tip would've been different.
