    That face is creepy. He has crazy eyes. I'm sure it's supposed to be "for the kids", but sasquatch shouldn't be all smiley...especially not like that.

    All misdirection. Get us talking about something other than Blazer ineptitude.

    Now we can talk about mascot ineptitude.

    Yay.

    Here we go.
    Embrace the culture of losing on purpose and being a loser.
    Tanking is never winning and it rarely leads to a wining culture.
    This team needs to be sold and the entire front office and management needs to be changed.

    Losers are okay with losing.

    No competitor is okay with losing and I don't think too many of the guys that even get a sniff of NBA court time get there on just talent. Some guys are just better at basketball then others and when you're in the lotto you've a better shot at adding those types. The winning-est franchise of the last 10 years is the Warriors and they were perpetual losers until they drafted better players.

    I know it's not the insta-fix that many here seek, but the Blazers best shot at turning things around is to draft better.

    I will never be okay with losing. Unfortunately this organization and even the fan base seems to be okay with it. This might be a very long haul of bad seasons.
    Maybe the Blazers can get that record.

    Do you really think whether you or I are okay with the team losing factors at all?

    Draft better players, get better results.

    After Robinson was hurt, SA tanked to get Duncan and they have one of the winningest (is that a word?) cultures in all of sports

    Houston certainly had a winning culture after they got Hakeem, or Akeem at the time

    Cleveland, with Lebron had a winning culture

    We were short-sighted when we let Collins walk. Dumb move.

    Zach has been lighting it up the last few games. Pretty solid season overall. But his issue was health. Can he stay healthy? Not sure.

    I think he can stay healthy. None of his injuries appeared to be chronic in my opinion. We went from being one of the biggest teams in the league to one of the smallest in just a couple of years and letting him go was one of the reasons.
