    we have enough players who have no idea what they're doing off our bench.

    Change the record, Chris. We are 19-22 now. A flat horrible team. 9-18 since our 10-4 start.

    I hate watching this team right now but can’t stop. What’s wrong with me? Buckling in for another one come game time.

    That's the most likely outcome but the most likely outcome when we played the Thunder was us winning both games. I mean if I had to bet money on it I would take the Mavs in both games but we did just play a really competitive game against a team with a better record than Dallas.

    We are not going to win many games with the bench we have now.
    Bring Simons off the bench like Westbrook is doing and allow him to be himself, a volume shooter/score.

    Doncic has made every team look awful so unfortunately I don't think these two games will be any different. Hope I am wrong of course.

    Seems Luka and Kidd are a lot for Billups to deal with. I guess Portland could win it but nobody will predict it other than Blazers' fans.
