    Wow.

    I wasn’t expecting a great team, but this is kinda sad.

    Don’t need 3 in a row. They need 6 out of 10 a couple times and this is a game.
    They need to score though and that has been questionable?

    It’s really not over yet.

    We need one run and the crowd will do their trademark 6 min of energy per game, and SAC will feel the pressure.

    It's weird how the sentiment has flipped from last year to this. Seems like those who were most critical last year are this year seeing the good parts and being the most patient.

    Like the NBA TV analyst said, the Blazers issue is not the coach. It’s the players they have

    Never was Stotts. He got thrown under the bus. I still think Billups might be an upgrade though.

    Second unit is balling. That makes me happy.

    Ant looks like a totally different player! Not settling for just the 3 and making plays.

    Do you think Nurk would be better off if he were to put the weight back on and play bruiser under the rim rather than trying to be a nimble big man?

    This is where in past seasons you might not be sweating. Down 10 with 7 minutes left and Damian Lillard aka one of if not the most clutch player in NBA history.

    Lord have mercy

    I hope we still got that in us

    Barnes is apparently the new MJ.
