So we should kick these guys asses. They suck, their best player is out. I know they might have a chip on their shoulder from being blown out so badly tonight but we should be pretty pissed too. I think we'll beat them by more than ten points.

I gave a solid NO because there really is no reason why but this team does have a history as the Portland Trail Blazers... I don't see a reason to fuck with that.

Gameplan: "Protect Melo's legacy"

isnt it funny how the broadcast team had their graphic about melo climbing up the FG made list ready to go the moment he hit his second shot tonight?

it's almost like the whole squad just is focused on all things melo this season.

not to forget that he took 12 shots to hit 2 tonight
 
I voted yes on the poll but I think the best solution is to rotate the name of Oregon cities, towns, and counties every month. One month it would be the Klamath Trailblazers; the next month the Sweet Home Trailblazers; then the Sisters Trailblazers.

Can't wait till it's the Burns Blazers...that would honor the town, and the defense

Boring Blazers would be an epic jersey!

I didn't watch the Bucks game but from the box-score we were demolished in the 1st and 3rd quarters - the new starting lineup/rotation doesn't work

I guess you had to be there (by there I mean just watching it on a screen because you know, no one is actually there). The first quarter had to feel like a waking nightmare for Dame. He was hitting shots and serving up both wide open threes and point blank twos on platters for guys and they were missing really badly. Oh wait a minute that was actually the whole fucking game besides a stretch during the last like eight minutes of the first half and the first three or four of the second half... we went on a nice run for what amounted to about one quarter and got to within two. Then just back to a complete shit show.

So it's Dame doing great, RoCo and CJ doing well, Powell meh, everyone else was complete shit and just getting hit over and over again by a hammer named Giannis... yeah some other Bucks played well too but it was like Dame putting in a fantastic performance for nothing and Giannis just crushing us and absolutely no defensive adjustments to try and stop him. Maybe we put some different guys on him but just single coverage and no help resulting in absolute slaughter.
 
Looks like the Powell signing might be a disaster. Not that he sucks or anything he’s actually pretty damn good but Stotts doesn’t use him well and the team is to rec ball oriented.. sucks

MULTIPLE TIME EMMY AWARD NOMINATED, AND WINNING "broadcast team".
Sir, if you are going to critique, let's at least get all the facts on the table.

You didn’t get the memo ? It’s protect his legacy time for us fuck everything else
 
Jones is out, but Nas is upgraded to questionable. Please play so I don’t have to see Melo get 40 minutes.

OKC since Dame's buzzer beater:

I don't think any single shot so altered a franchise as that one

Ironically they probably have a better future than us. New young star point guard and a bunch of picks they don’t even know what to do with.

OKC had a better record than us last year and won more playoff games. This year, they are trying to be worst team in NBA and have failed miserably.
