    62 is biggest margin of victory in OKC history. Breaking previous 45 beatdown on Pelicans at some point in the past.

    great effort all around.

    Sell the team and gut everything to the core.
    Trade everyone for picks. Everyone.

    To be fair to Dame, this game shows why he didn’t want to be here

    What a team Cronin has put together. The Blazers should be in the WNBA.

    this thrashing is not an anomoly, it's stuffed in front of a bunch of games where the Blazers looked horrible.

    maybe commisioner Silver can take over the team until a better front office can be established?

    That was an accident. They shot over 50% from 3 and still barely won.

    This is the worst Blazer team in history.

    The tank teams with Hart/Winslow/Sharpe were at least fun to watch.

    I think OKC is better than us. Good thing this loss only counts as one.

    When we win a game, enjoy it. Do not freak out and think we are going to screw up the tank.

    Telfair/Monia team was worse. That team had no talent. Scoot and Sharpe are A-level talents. This is part of the growth. We’ll get 2 lottery picks this year and in another season, we’ll go after the play-in and begin our rise.

    People thought Telfair, Outlaw and Webster were going to be A level talents, just like fans HOPE Sharpe and Scoot become A level talents. But that team had Zach, Miles, Pryzbilla, Ratliff...

    Yeah, they were sitting Dame and other starters out with BS injuries. We've ended the last two seasons tanking.

    You don’t become an A level talent. You have it to begin with or you don’t.
