    The norm always deviates.

    There has to be a Powell joke in there somewhere.

    Shit we have same record as Pels too! We’re 14th in the West as we near the halfway point of the season.

    That's not how this works.

    The point is you can go from middle to great. The idea that being in the middle is bad is false. Look how the Grizzlies have emerged from the middle. That said, we are not in the middle. We are dead last. We have the best lottery odds in the league right now since 1-4 is the same and we are 4.

    We could get that many picks if we wanted to. We have the assets.

    The record is poor, the talent bad, but sadly the effort was worse.

    God please just blow the team up already. At least with zero expectations and watching young players like Ant getting 35 minutes a game I can have some excitement about the future lol.

    I’d like to take this opportunity to wish Terry Stotts a very happy new year. This Blazer season is the best job recommendation he could ever have hoped for.

    I noticed last night that when we were bringing the ball up we had virtually nobody posting or cutting, several times we had 4 guys standing outside the three point line while dame was dribbling. Nobody was cutting or calling for the ball in the paint.
    This team has been built around only 3 point shooting and not playing the game the way it should be. When your star's trade mark is 3 point land and beyond, other players will play the same way.
    Until we get 2 back court defenders and FORWARDS that can drive and/or post up and a rim protector we will be laggards.
