    Tough tough game tonight. MIN is coming off BTB losses I think. Let’s see if CB can get some amazing bench production like last night’s effort.

    fwiw Conley is out tonight I see.

    Last night was fun. One of the greatest shooting nights ever by any team.

    So? We won. That's unacceptable this year.

    No one remembers these games. We need losses. Cheering for losses, not wins.

    Now, let's go out there and have the worst shooting season ever seen!

    It's not about this year. It means nothing. We only care about the off-season this year and then 2 years.

    Every win this year is awful for the team long term.

    Tell that to the fans that paid their hard earned money to attend the game.

    When was the last time you went to one?

    The only reason to watch is to ogle our best player Robert Williams, but he's not playing tonight. Minny is filled with revenge. Billups' yelling-without-a-system can motivate only so far. I plan an early exit.

    If it's our youth leading the team to wins it's good, means we have young talent and that's worth more than the draft pick improvement.

    If instead we're having mediocre vets leading the team to wins yes it's awful.

    The mediocre veterans provide a framework so the kids can learn. If you run a youth league team of 6-year-olds, any adult will keep it organized, even if he has bad habits. A coach with a system could replace the mediocre adults, but we don't have such a coach, so we need grown-ups to play with the children, no matter how bad the grown-ups are, until the kids grow up.

    Been watching more of the games with opponents announcers, it's fun because if we're winning I love hearing the disappointment in their comments. But if we're losing then at least it helps our pick.

    Also nice hearing others expert opinions of our players, team, and opponent - compared to the Blazers crew that provides little insight.

    It’s a lottery. You can go 33-49 and win it. So develop a winning culture and then shut it down after the All Star break if anything is out of reach, Hawks tried to win all year and won the lottery.

    It’s really hard to take the NBA seriously when they make calls like that.

    Huh? Our guys have more insight because they see them every day. The other announcers don’t care about Rayan Rupert.
