    Only 6 shots for Reath tonight.
    Duop got the Ayton treatment. Get out the way so Grant & Simons can shoot.

    I know I'm not in the majority and it would have to be for a haul but I want Ant on another team. I also think it is almost a must that we move Malcolm and Jerami for the value that they have.

    Badji gets the game ball
    7/3/2/2/4

    at least he was trying out there, while the big contract Blazers weren't offering Badji much of any weakside help.

    I think it'll be longer than that. Sharpe is regressing. I don't think he's going to become the "star" people hoped for. Scoot doesn't look good either. We likely have nothing to build on.

    Patience. They will improve. How much? Not sure? Is Chauncey the coach to get them there? Not sure? Will it be with this team even? Again Not sure?
    Get ready for a long rebuild. I highly doubt the team looks the same next year.
    Probably should start with new ownership?

    The team doesn't even seem to be trying. They aren't even running anything that looks like an offense. It looks like 5 guys playing a pickup game at times. They are getting worse as the year drags on.

    They have to fire Chauncy. It's hard to figure out how good your players are if you don't know you're getting decent coaching. This is why I wanted the team to hire a proven coach. And yeah, I hope Phil Knight buys the team.

    There are a number of people who are starting to say many of the same things. Most however are not press/media yet. I figure Jason Quick will write something up fairly soon. Again we might as well be patient at this point. The team isn't winning this year and there are no quick fixes at this point.

    When you shoot over 50% by 3, and barely beat a losing team, that's actually a bad sign.

    what erks me the most after this loss, is seeing Blazer fans complimenting the Knicks. "oh, well, the Knicks have better players at every position, and a very good coaching staff."

    pardon my French, but the Knicks can kiss off. Where's the NYC vs. PDX rivalry? Do i have to do everything in Blazer Land ??

    If the Knicks were so royal & mighty, they would have beat the Blazers by 70. Portland's Remixers came in and put on a better show then NYC.

    how about.. can't wait to see Tyler Herro knock ya'll out of the playoffs.

    i'm sure there's more, but we gotta at least fire back at the Big Apple Posers.

    I don't have any response to whatever it was either of you said

    I just wanted to take a moment to say I really appreciate the way you two skate right along the edge of trolling without ever falling all the way thru the ice. It's almost masterful the way you're able to shift the level of discourse to some eclectic level of trash-talking + straw men + Mad Magazine

    congrats!

    thx, I was genuinely curious who took that nets win as any sort of culminating moment, with ayton, rwiii, bari and tisse all out or nursing something. sharpe and ant still look rusty too.

    edit: also, chris burkhardt. caveat emptor.

    Yeah somebody called me Oshley the other day. I can’t think of a worse insult to a Blazers fan.

    I do love those “apologies” like “I am sorry you got upset because I said you are a dumbass.”

    As I understand the rules you could be upset for this. The comment needs to address your comment?
    Such as “Your comment makes you sound like Olshey aka as a Dumbass”
    Then they could apologize for you being upset and it would be genuine.
