    Well, the Blazers go into Buzz City and have another historically bad 1st quarter and can't comeback against the Hornets who had lost 4 in a row and were without their top 3 scorers. The Blazers Uprise Postgame Show will break down what happened, join us!

    Blazers without Dame vs a sub .500 Charlotte team missing LaMelo, Hayward, Devonte' Graham, and Monk (53 points and 17 assists)....and an 8 point loss is really not as close as it seems.

    Portland is running out of time to get their shit together.

    Good. We need the lottery pick. No need to waste it for no reason. This team could start the rebuild a little sooner than later. That SA win was not necessary

    It must be a terrible feeling for DJJ to go from a starter against the Spurs to not seeing one minute of court time the very next game.

    He backtracked to saying CJ has a better defensive rating than the Blazers as a team so he isn’t a liability. Partially true, but look who else is on the team.

    So, I couldn’t watch this shit show, but how come DJ Jr. didn’t play? And how did RoCo manage to play that many minutes and not score a point? All-in-all, not a good look for Olshey’s two big off-season acquisitions.

    it's 100% false.....CJ's defensive rating is 118; the team's is 116.6

    CJ has a -1.6 DBPM as well

    and unlike Dame, CJ hasn't had to play the last 5-6 minutes of the 1st and 3rd quarter with Kanter and Melo. I get it's brother looking out for brother, but his brother is a bad defender

    Jones was DNP-CD, otherwise known as scapegoat

    RoCo drifted on offense while CJ-Powell-Melo dominated usage

    Terry said he didn't want to disparage Jones Jr but benching him was what was best for this team right now.

    Its just a game with high paid millionaires that don't get as upset as forum fans! Its their job and they probably feel there are more important things than winning, right?
