    Badji moves really well for his size.

    With how they started the game, the fact they actually hit a wall is a miracle.

    Zach doesn't look any better than he did when he was here. He might even be worse. Any of you who wish we had him, I'm not seeing what you're seeing.

    Yes, we've got worse for 3 straight yearS! How many more years do we need to get worse? Is it bad to want to get better?

    It's not bad, it's just not prudent at this point. We need more significant pieces that will contribute to big wins in a few years, not insignificant pieces that will contribute to meaningless wins now.

    Thybulle thinks twice before shooting a contested 3 at the end of the 3rd. He's trying to keep that percentage up!

    I'm down for trading any Blazer for a better asset. I'm not down with trading any player for the purpose of getting younger and less talented.

    those last 2 years didn't count. Portland was getting super rookies to help Lillard win. But Dame quit the team, so only this season counts as a rebuild.

    I don't. He most drives and throws up shitty crazy shots with no chance of going in. Glad to see him actually focus on that a couple of possessions in the third a make them.

    sounds like a coffee shop in Moda Center. Simple chatter, not much to cheer about.

    I don't think anyone wants this team to have less assets or talent. I think it only makes sense to build around our youth, move our win now guys who have some more years on them to teams that can win with them now, for more assets/young talent. So I very much want this team to get younger.
