    not excited at all because it looks like the Blazers have fence-straddling management under absent, uncaring ownership

    I'm excited to see Scoot and Sharpe progress.

    I'm excited to see what Avdija can do.

    I'm excited to see what Clingan can do.

    I'm excited to see how Ayton gels with Scoot this season.

    I’m a realist but both of those guys are super young. I think both have decent upside still simply on account of that.

    They’re well over the ‘should we try to be good?’ fence.

    I cannot tell you who are the starters and I have very little idea who is actually still on the team at this point?

    the dark days of rebuilding

    Do not question Blazers authority

    if fans have run away & hide in swamps, deserts, or an isolated island until the team gets better...
    ... then so be it.

    There's no reason to.

    Now if the thread was:

    "When have you been less excited to visit this message board regularly, I would without a doubt say Never.

    And I joined in 2008. Not sure why, but it's not the players or the owners.

    Every single fucking year they were not going to suck or contend. Purgatory is the worst

    That's the 14% odds of success (at best) rebuilding plan. Geez, I love rebuilds.
