    Been saying the same things for years & people try to tell me "it's just one game" at the start of the season or say "Just give the team time to gel". The last 3 times the Blazers have played a healthy playoff team, they've lost by 40, 18, & 17. Tonight's more of the same.

    What a complete joke of a quarter. 16 fucking points. Terry should just have called more timeouts. The game is now OVER. Why save your fucking timeouts? Just so fucking stupid. It's 100 percent over. Nice coaching terry. Call fucking timeouts, use your protest. Now it's pointless. Doesn't he get it? You can't go down by 20 and expect anything to happen in 12 minutes against the ~best team in the league.

    It’s not often when you feel like Dame was a net negative in his impact on the game, but he was brutal in that quarter.

    I’m losing the will to care about this season. If this is the effort/product on the floor when they face the best teams in the league I don’t know how I could find it entertaining.

    “We just missed shots”, says Jordan Kent who’s mic is clearly not muted. This guy is actually as clueless as he sounds. I thought he was just a shill but he’s actually a dumbass too.

    We need to hope for total collapse and not make playoffs. ONLY way stotts is gone. The jazz playing back to back including overtime without clarkson getting blown out. Just want to smesh his head with a shuffle how terrible this coach is

    Is Donovan Mitchell better than Dame already? I mean Dame isn't playing that great at the moment, but even taking that into account, Mitchell's defense is SO much better than Dame's, and there's just not much difference on offense.

    Well, fuck, that sure turned to shit quickly. Up 3 at half and down 18 after 3rd quarter.

    Our offense turned to shit too. Nurk vitalizes our offense even if he never shoots.

    I love Kanter's effort in general, but he's been a mess tonight.

    68-68 when he comes and after that it all went to hell. Collins' is far from perfect, but we could've really used a 2nd defensive big tonight since Olshey had no interest in providing one throughout all these injuries.

    Jordan Kent's mic came on during the commercial and he said "We just missed shots"
