    This game is on Billups for not taking a timeout during that huge fucking run to stimie the momentum.

    That and not being flexible with how he runs this team.

    I wish Eubanks would get 3 quick ticky tacks all games so I wouldn't have to see him play

    This roster needs major major turnover. We need to do it now even if it's not for this season. We have to get better now so we don't need some kind of monstrous jump forward in the off season.

    Nurk's not the most nimble of guys but he's not getting outrun by (checks notes) Vucevic and Andre Drummond.

    He hasn't play well enough to justify turning down that extension

    This team can't do what Billups wants them to. He needs to accept that or the Blazers need a new coach.

    3-0 road trip was probably too much to ask for. Now we go home for 5 games. Let’s win em all.

    To be fair, he's shooting them now - and showing why he was reluctant to do so. He's leaving them well short every time. Somebody needs to tell him it's in the legs.

    Nope. That's a 30 point loss. We couldn't even beat them without Curry.

    I’d rather a player give their all than what we get out of Nurkic. Such a weird angle to be all over Eubanks about this loss. We’re a jump shooting team that relies on out shooting our opponent

    What does that mean to "target him?"
    When Vucevic makes a jumper?
    When derozan scores?
    when Dosunmu hits a 3-pointer?
    It's all because of Simons?

    This is the first loss this season I’m okay with. We won 5 of 6. Things are back on track. We played last night and had trouble getting into Chicago. Still almost won. Let’s sweep our home stand.

    Yes. Vucevic was making jumpers over Simons

    No it's because of Billups and these stupid fucking switches.

    They can’t win on the road. We’re good.
