    You actually think we beat those teams on the road with the way they’re playing?

    I don't know what was more embarrassing, our rebounding or our play-by-play announcer, but that was something to endure, not enjoy.

    Neither team played great defense and POR couldn't buy a board but a win is a win. I'll take it any day of the week.

    Probably not Memphis, but Washington and Chicago are definitely beatable.

    watching the Blazers is like playing bop-a-mole. They only had 8 turnovers but give up 17 offensive rebounds to the Hawks. Capela had 10; Blazer team had 3.

    nice to se a win but I didn't see anything in this game that makes me think the Blazers have solved any riddles

    Dame over the last 12 games:

    34 & 8
    30 & 5
    50 & 3
    36 & 10
    40 & 6
    44 & 8
    25 & 11
    24 & 10
    37 & 12
    60 & 8
    30 & 3
    41 & 6

    that's a 38 & 8 average....washed

    It for sure is a thing... Though there is a bunch of irrational hate for a lot of members of the organization year and and year out. Players, coaches, etc.

    We had to play damn near perfect to beat the short handed hawks today as well. Dame is amazing this year is the sad part. Dude just gets better and better and we don’t have a good team for him

    Well I went to the game and I’m glad we won. That was hella ugly though. Some just terrible rebounding.

    We had to give up 17 motherfucking offensive rebounds and let a team that shoots 34.4% on average from three shoot 43.3% tonight. Yeah we had to shoot a lot better than them because we gave them 17 extra possessions by giving up 15 more offensive rebounds and turning the ball over two more times than they did.

    We did not play damn near perfect. We out shot them and that seems to be the only way we win games right now. We know we can play defense because we did it early in the season but we haven't been doing that and in this game we got 17 defensive stops that we then gave back to them by allowing them to get the rebound on the missed shot we forced. Changes have to be made on this team but however we win is good enough for me right now.

    If we don't make significant moves in the next 9 days I'll be fucking pissed and although I'll root for our team, the results of the games I root for them in will become inconsequential because we'll either make the playoffs and lose in the first round or have a late lotto pick that only delays our ability to trade future picks for win now players.
