Portland's chances of making the Playoffs are slowly diminishing before our eyes. Three big games with 8th-seed implications and Blazers lay 3 big dinosaur-size eggs, losing all three in a row.

But Detroit has also had a rough going their last several games. They've lost 5 straight and 11 of their last 13 games. Even the short-handed Blazers have no excuse to lose to this team, right?

Whatever the case, after that embarrassing showing against the Pelicans (with New Orleans sweeping the Blazers again, to boot), I want to see the Blazers play pissed off and destroy these Pissed-on's.
 
I voted for Stotts, but only if there is someone better available..go ahead
 
Race for the 8th

If we lose everygame until Dame is healed can we convince him to sit it out ?
 
Even though I think Stotts has a much worse effect on the team; I voted for Olshey because he is ultimately responsible for Stotts being here (and for CJ still being here on a huge contract).
 
Rumor.... Blazers for sale!

You will get your wish after the sale. Both Olshey and Stotts will be replaced.

Poll irrelevant.
 
Can you imagine being a Pistons fan? We are going to be playing with 1 of 5 starters available - and despite that, the roster matchup above looks to be skewed HEAVILY in our favor. Good grief.
 
Blazers win..... BLAZERS WIN!!!! Sadly, it hurts their Lottery rank and extends the inevitable. Damn Detroit has a horrible roster available.

This is a perfect example of what i'm talking about when i say things like "Cohesiveness". The Blazers do not have and have not had it all season.
You cannot expect average defense from players that are not average defensive players and even more so when those below average defensive players have not had extensive minutes playing together.
A good coach can find ways to win games and keep a team with a average or just under average record but the defense will be subject.
Even more so you can take a average players and coach them long enough and give them enough time together and they can play well. But it takes time.

Right. I'll be shocked if I see a good boxout or closeout. Obviously that shouldnt be possible with this lack of cohesion so maybe we'll see some miracles today, and a Blazer might boxout! Feeling pretty optimistic, actually.
 
Hezonja is available. Idk what to make of that. Better not steal any minutes.
 
Did Calabro just say Travis Outlaw and MB were at the game?
