    That’s why I loved the jail blazers era. Always had that pissed off winning mentality. It’s not coincidence we haven’t had playoff success since then. This era is all about just making the city happy with smiles

    It is certainly the owner of the worst home loss any of us has ever seen. Given that some think Dame is the Greatest Blazer ever and CJ 'is like am all star', that is one heck of an accomplishment.

    Which is fine....but it seems like we aren't getting our money's worth if that is the case. Worst home loss ever? Ever? That is quite disappointing on many levels.

    Yeah the should have pulled the bench mob and put the starters back in to keep that score more reasonable.
    Might have even got that score down to a 20-25 point loss.


    Yes I put that in green because it was sarcasm.

    You can put silver linings and a lipstick on it, but it does not change the fact this team finally is best at something;)

    Agree about Trent...many want him gone but he's a baller with toughness and the drive and nasty attitude you like to see.

    But can you argue that this is the worst Blazer team of this year?

    Sarcasm in this country is joking my friend.
    But yes the starters did indeed put them in that position. That was the point of the post.

    Somehow after I read this, even though you started this thread, I felt you won the argument.

    But then I thought, is Nate saying he was born yesterday?

    You know, when I lived in Chicago, I would follow the Blazers around when they came through the area (Minny, Milwaukee, Chicago, Indiana, Detroit, etc.) I remember one time I followed the Jail Blazers down to Indianapolis, where I got to see in person this performance: https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/199802270IND.html

    It doesn't matter how talented the team, some nights they just decide to pack it in. And that was a team you claim that had a "pissed-off winning mentality".

    Neil is an LA transplant put here to build Portland into perennial fringe playoff team — purgatory.

    Oh, it’s true!

    Meh that was that eras equivalent of “load management, day off”.. Hey I’ll take that if we get more playoff success than what we get now. Remember we almost won a title with that team. Something we haven’t said since
