    This is a roster issue.

    Believe.

    But don't make 5 thread being disappointed about a near impossibility.

    Deal?

    We will be stuck in purgatory until we get a new owner. That is the first step.

    Agreed. We knew that 3 months ago though, didn't we?

    It was a stotts and Olshey issue so we got 2 out of the way. :)

    Not worried. Nothing to complain about so early in the season.

    100% with you.

    Nothing to be worried about, unless you thought this was a contending team to begin with.

    LOL... yep, people thought that.

    Roster issue and Olshey issue are pretty much the same thing. Cronin has 3 years of work to undo what was created, 2 more years to get it figured out.

    Was hoping to see a 4-2 road trip. Would have been happy with 3-3.
    Guess 2-4 is what we get. .500 at 40 games and they will be in good shape.

    In the NBA especially, you can only deal with the cards you’re dealt. Length on the perimeter has been an issue going on for several years. And a few different coaches.

    The Blazers will always be stuck in purgatory. That is the nature of the team. They will never be respected by the league or touted as a contender. They will always be the underdog. They will always be underestimated and looked down on. That is what it means to be a Trail Blazer. That's the burden this team and whoever is ever on it will carry. That is why no one wants to come here.

    True. Very true.

    He'd snap like a twig here.
