THIS team can't play defense, had no coaching that emphasizes defense and has a lousy road record. If by luck of God we capture the eighth spot, we would be wasted on the other teams' floor and the percentage rate of succeeding further though Moda would be certainly LOW!
I'm wondering if Stotts's job is on the line or if Olshey will chalk it up to injuries. Or even if he does, maybe Stotts goes because somebody has to take the fall, and Olshey isn't likely to say "I fucked up by assembling a mediocre roster"
What seen last 2 games we are finished now it all about where we going to pick in the lottery. Yes if Nurk and Zach are able to play go head play for the simple reason they been busting there ass to get back it would be big mistake by the organization to not let them play. Plus they can get the mental part of the game out of the way.
Did you know that in 2003 (i think) the IOC Magazine listed Portland Oregon's Rose Garden as the #1 rated hockey facility.......in......the......world..... And there isn't even a hockey team here to prove it.... I would love a baseball team more than anything but the arena for hockey is already built. Seattle? Not fair.
Well you don't have to play them the way he is? I don't like to second guess people doing things i have never done but i probably would look for a different combination at this point.
Well Maybe not that bad. There still is 17 games to play. There are some good quality opponents to try and get some growth from the guys that need playing time. Trent, 1M, Little, Gabriel should be getting the lions share of the minutes. IMO
Yeah, I’ve never seen a Blazer team play such horrible defense. It’s embarrassing, and it’s been going on all year.
That's what will happen if we lose the next 2. We would be 7 losses behind Grizzlies without the tiebreaker. At that point, I would think the towel would be thrown in.
