    Nah man, it’s being driven by our 90 year old grandpa who nobody wants to take his license away because he’s really nice and nobody wants to drive him around.

    This team is simultaneously fucking horrible and also amazing. They went down by 20 twice tonight.

    imagine how good we’d be if stotts would stop playing Hood/Melo/Kanter at the same time.

    The Blazers are both the worst and best team in my lifetime depending on how drunk I am. I call it the Heineken Uncertainty Principle.

    It's impossible to know both the location of despair and velocity of awesomeness simultaneously.

    Imagine our mascot under the rim after Nurkic lands on it. The mascot is both alive and dead until you open the boxscore.

    it's comical you keep bumping this thread, you looking for attention or what? Go take a walk and step away from your phone/cpu once in a while, it's good for health.

    1) This team was playing like the worst blazer team I'd ever seen, for a while.

    2) It's a silly thread, but my concern about Robustness is very real. We seem to be bailed out by Dame and CJ putting up astronomical numbers every game - and we're still not blowing teams out. If Dame or CJ becomes injured, we're in serious trouble. We really need to perfect our new defensive system so that Dame or CJ can have an off game, or rest. Until that happens, we are not as Robust as I'd like.

    So let's see:

    Losses
    Utah 7-4 - beat us by 20.
    Clippers 8-4 beat us by 23
    Warriors 6-6 beat us 15
    Chicago 4-7 we gave up a 20 point lead and lost by 3.
    Indiana 8-4 beat us by 24.

    Wins
    Houston 4-6
    Lakers 10-3
    Warriors 6-6
    Minnesota 3-8
    Sacramento 5-7
    Toronto 3-8
    Sacramento 5-7

    So we have two actually decent wins against teams without losing records. Meanwhile we have been absolutely obliterated by the Jazz, the Clippers, and Indiana. We have trailed by 20+ against the Jazz, the Clips, the Pacers, the Kings and the Raptors. This team is trash.

    So winning streaks against the cannon fodder of the NBA doesn't mean much?
    How many games in a row is this team going to get down 20 points?

    We’ve also led by 30 three times this season. I read only the Bucks and Clippers have done the same.

    sure seems like that Dame, but your buddy Nurk, sad to say, has a really extensive history of serious injuries. Blazer fans have seen that big man movie before

    Look we know stotts stinks. But loosing Nurkic is a blessing as of now. Giles is hungry and kid is talanted and stotts refuses to play him....not anymore. Also kanter is averaging more points more rebounds and especially OFF rebounds, in less playing time.......ive had it with Nurkic he has been trash since the bubble. Please move on from him

    We are at .615 winning percentage right now.....I'm no math guru and might be wrong, but isn't that about a 50 win team in a normal season?

    49 at least. The math gets fuzzy when you get into 10ths of a percent.

    Once again, I wasn't talking about wins and losses.

    Honest question, in the several games where we have played against playoff caliber teams and gotten blown away, did that make you feel confident that we have any kind of shot in the playoffs?

    My math gets fuzzy past adding single digits....
