    Don't forget: 2 first rounders for Zach Collins.

    FIVE 1st for Collins, RoCo, and Nance.

    One thing is for certain. CJ has pretty much proven that any idea of it being better for him to move to a team so he can be the #1 option is not a good idea at all. CJ is not ever going to be anything other than a real good 6th man type player. The faster this organization figures that out the better off it will be.
    Also again real tired of lazy Nurkic. What an absolute waste of great physical ability. If Nurkic was half as tough as Zeller he would be an All Star.

    What are we going to question him about? Let's not make him the scapegoat for the real problems.

    Does anyone question any longer exactly what Damian Lillard brings this team whether he is shooting well or not?

    We are so weak on the premeter with our guards.

    Last years game thread has mentions of Nurk and CJ being all-star caliber players.

    Covington concedes an open three to Schroeder, misses an open three, misses a point blank layup, gets the rebound, then fires a pass into the 2nd row.... amazing sequence.

    Is it to early to say tat Becky Hammond or Mike D’Antoni would have been better choices? Neil gambled and lost.

    This is so pathetic. I question only one thing about Billups. How he thinks Covington is good enough to be in the rotation and be a starter on top of that.

    that's kind of backwards, no offense

    CJ has never established he was anything close to a #1 option. I'd argue that if he was even a good #2 option, Portland would be a lot closer to being a contender than they are

    CJ has been significantly overrated in Portland, especially in the GM's office

    It's crazy to think any of them (Billups, Becky, MDA, or Stotts) would've made a significant difference.

    I think we miss what he brought to the team.

    Effort? Competitive spirit? Defense? Sticking with COVINGTON?

    The only question left on tonight’s game is if the Blazers will suffer back to back 30+ point losses.

    Let’s make this respectable and only lose by 20!

    (The secret to happiness as a Blazer fan is to adjust your expectations low.)
