    We missed 4 wide open ones to start the 2nd quarter. You think they had no chance because of who was taking them?

    Best bench in the NBA, so I've been told!

    Granted, it's WAY better than last years.

    Damn, the first 5 mins of the 2nd was just brutal. That lineup should never play together, EVER!

    We are losing to a team who don’t shoot 3s and getting blown out. Smh

    This is why squeaking by garbage teams means so little to me. How are we going to measure up against an even decent Playoff team? So far, a complete, epic fail. And Indy is dealing with a post trade roster that doesn't have all their players yet.

    On the bright side, if the Blazers played D like the Pacers, we would actually be contenders.

    Embarrassing half. Blazers continue to play like shit. They go down 20+ and Stotts just stands the fuck around and does nothing. Nurkic can't keep a ball in his hand.

    The shots in question are the ones with the first unit in the second quarter.

    I think he crouches and brings the ball down. By the time the shot gets up there are 6 hands swatting the ball.

    Covington played one of the worst 17 minutes I’ve seen so far this season. Yikes.

    They typically can score pretty well.

    Ant, Melo, Kanter, and Hood are all career negative defenders, so it would be hard for me to say a one sided group (excluding Trent) could be the best in the NBA. I could be wrong though.

    my first half thoughts:

    * the game fell apart for Portland when they sat both Dame and CJ to start the 2nd Q. Obviously, that was because of the game last night. But I remember hearing incessantly how great the depth was on this team and they can't survive a back to back without looking like boiled owl shit?

    * Portland has a 4 game win streak against lottery teams. I was looking forward to this game because this was a gauge of how much progression the Blazers have made against good teams. If the 1st half in an indication, not much

    * Myles Turner is only 18 months older than Zach. Sabonis is only 16 months older

    I just wish we could trade sorry shit Nurkic. Absolute pathetic. What kills me is that other teams score so easy in paint no resistance but our offense cant create nothing in paint
