    Well, on the bright side, the Blazers are shooting 37%, and the Bulls are shooting 56%, and we’re ‘only’ down by 15.

    It could be worse. We could be down by 16.

    While we getting beat all over tonight on both ends 11 turnovers so far terrible performance. CJ zeros across the board Dame not have very good time either. While let's see which players on this team have some pride this 2nd half.

    I know this will come as a shock to all of you...but Chicago is shooting 58% on FG's and 47% on three's. Doesn't look good but it's comforting to know it isn't the roster

    If we are laughing at the Lakers as trash, what do you call this Blazer team?

    If the Bulls are doing this to us tonight, what are the Warriors going to do to us the day after Thanksgiving? Not going to be pretty.

    I'll say it for the thousandth time: the Blazers are a 130 million dollar game of bop-a-mole

    the Blazers shouldn't need to do an investigation into Olshey to see if he should be fired. They should look at the roster and go "yep, he gone"

    I’m over this era of Blazers Basketball, blow it up and start over. The best this group ever got was HC in the first round and an ass whooping in the WCF. I’d like to try something different now.

    The Early 90s Blazers
    The Jail Blazers
    The What If Blazers (Roy and Oden)

    and now the current era which I will call the Underachieving Blazers

    I’m ready for something different, this is played out, zero chance at winning anything meaningful with this roster.

    Billups might need to pull out "Bluto" Blutarsky's "Nothing is over until until we decide it is" speech at halftime.

    Our 70 mil shorty backcourt got utterly dominated in 1st half, Dame is just not himself this yr and I don't know what the answer is there - rest the ab injury/surgery? and without a "normal" Dame this team is mediocre

    Yep I'm in the exact same boat. Chances are we will play better and make a little run this season like we always do but I'm willing to bet that it will be more of the same come playoff time (if we even make it). It's time to start fresh and try something new.

    I had two dollars so I got a candy bar, my friend had 10 dollars so he got a candy bar, a coconut water, and an ice cream. My friend is so much better than me!

    Blazers had superstar Dame the previous 2 seasons and they had a 77-69 record in regular season and a 3-8 record in the playoffs. Normal Dame + Blazers might be lottery

    What I see is if the Blazers take care of the ball and cut down the turnovers then make a few more shots Dane and CJ come away with let’s say 12 a piece. This game is a much different game. Matter of fact that would have them leading.
