    Billups cleared the bench at the 4:30 mark. No Super Simons mega comeback. Darnit

    So Scoot ends up with 23 minutes for this game.

    Brogdon played 37 minutes.

    What a pile of shit.

    This is a team assembled to lose. We just traded away one of the top three players in team history. We will trade more win now players to teams trying win. You can look to the future or be furious. We have some promising young talent.

    One of those two needs to build his trade value and the other is being brought along the same way we saw Shaedon last season.

    I don’t know if Chauncey will be a good coach for us to have once we’re ready to win but I like what he’s doing for our young players in the meantime.

    That's what the Warriors' TV guys are saying.

    I don't think Brogdon needs any more playing time after tonight. He had a great game. Quit him while he's ahead.

    We wouldn't want him to get injured.

    Coach Kerr is a fibber. He said the Blazers are a good team. He said the Blazers play better then what their record suggests.

    The Blazers have won 7 of 28 games.

    That's 25%. At that rate they would win 20.5 games of an 82-game season.

    This team has no endgame mojo. If it keeps up I want major trade deadline changes and I'm ready for a coaching change as well. Trade Brogdan, Grant and Ant for everything you can get and stop the bleeding. Keep the defenders and youth. Go get some hungry dogs. I'd rather see Rupert play and Mays at this point.

    Pretty much with you, we fought hard earlier this season and losses seem to be leading to less effort, has Chauncy lost these guys? Would trade DA as well but that contract he has will make him hard to trade unless we add something, probably stuck with him

    Warriors 6'4" rookie guard Podziemski, had more rebounds (7) then anyone in a Blazers uniform.

    Simons attempted only 1 shot inside of 10 feet. Did the Warriors stuff his driving lanes?? Not really... most everything run for Ant was off ball jumpers.

    I read the wrong column. That little bastard Podziemski had double digit boards. 10

    The Warriors were doubling him a decent amount after his hot start in the 1st quarter.

    Certainly could use some practice rebounding. I've given up on Grant as our powder forward.....so soft. But it wasn't just him. They just lack the attitude and not nearly enough alpha or alpha-lite personalities.
