    I'm surprised we aren't hearing people bring up John Collins a lot tonight.

    No use having HW in there unless you post him constantly. Gary refused to pass to him twice there, only Melo or Ariza want to feed him.

    I think their PA going "thaaaaareeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" might be the single most annoying thing about being alive currently.

    Do you think Whiteside realizes they have exploited him every single possession this half?

    Wish we'd see a lot more giving him good passes near the hoop.

    As good as he is, he has a lot of faults. I still don't understand why he (his contract) wasn't traded at the deadline.

    Seriously, you would think with the season slipping away the the Blazers would at least show some fight and leave it all on the floor.

    Instead they play like they don't give a fuck if they make the playoffs or not. If that's how they're going to play then fine I can accept that but I don't want to hear one of them talk about the playoffs anymore.

    There's not a lot of realizing going on by the Blazers as a group.

    They couldn't realize the game of basketball if it bit them on the ass. A group of guys on here could probably beat them

    I see nothing resembling team play. Its as though you have a bunch of guys that just got together the play a pickup game.

    Part of that may be on the players but realistically, that is on Stotts. No game plan. No team plan. When you let your guys do what they want, there is no structure, no discipline, etc.

    Its just hard watching the Blazers play. There are other teams that are much more enjoyable to watch - teams that move the ball, have activity, have excitement.

    This game screams CJ & the scrubs with CJ being the head scrub. I sense no urgency or caring.

    I feel like there is just a CTC mentality among the team right now. (gotta recall Rasheed Wallace for that reference).

    Gramps...

    Terry does this shit to try and prove that he's smarter than others.

    There is absolutely no reason to double team Trae in that situation without a pick with the game he was having. It was in an awkward spot too where he could easily pass out of it and set up an open shooter. Terry refuses to double in situations that actually make sense.

    He's doing it on purpose so he can say "see double teams don't work" so he can justify his regular crappy defense.

    I have not read the thread. Maybe someone else has said this already?
    This game seems different? Have the Blazers finally quit?
    Did they all find out Nurk isn’t coming back?
    Is Dame out another week or two?
    They are playing like the season is over now.
